67Rolla-Ken

Looks worth the price to me... if I had a wallet fat enough and a HG worthy of such an item. Oh and KENut... thanks for the quote :D It's originally a line by GIR off Invader Zim episode 1 or 2 I believe.

I wouldn't want to drive her at all... with only 2550 Miles on her :lol: I'm just jelous! Great to hear she's not getting dropped on her ass and violated... that sounds bad :P

... :blinks: wow I'm finding it very hard to accept that a 38 year old car with a 5 digit odometer is on it's first trip round... but she sure looks the real deal! Fantastic find.

I like the petrol idea better than the bug bomb idea... as long as it's not my car :lol:

You're killing me with suspense! :lol: Now I'm even more curious!

I don't think I need to add much... check my build thread if you want proof that Gav's right :lol: I still think $20k spent is a small budget for a show car (even a small one). Yeh I probably could have been much better of starting off with a $3k-$4k tidy car...

Put one of the doors back on last weekend... I was supposed to be working on the car today but was tired after a late night drinking :P Ended up getting some shelving/work bench units and sorting out the garage instead... found a lot of the parts I'd been looking for :D I've given up rushing her, rather do a little at a time and do it right.

Such a classy looking ride. Love your work!

I have a few stock k engine manifolds laying around, but I'm sure plenty of members in SA will as well?

I'll grab 2 of the Jap style ones if you still have them. PM me details (Paypal if possible).

Last weekend I scored a donor car for Mumbleweed... $300! All complete except engine is partially stripped. The mags look great on Winona Rona :)

Hi all, I just realized I haven't made a thread for the wife's RA60 yet... We've had her almost a year! Anyway the story started with the March 2010 Hail storm. Our beloved Avalon copped a hiding in the storm, hundreds of dents in the roof, bonnet, boot and both sides. After she was classed as a write-off and our insurance (with gap cover) paid out the loan we had on her we decided we didn't want to have another loan. We did a bit of searching and waiting and found a one owner 1982 Celica for sale. The lady selling her would have been in her 70's and absolutely loved the car. As the car had lived it's whole life is Scarborough it had a bit of rust around the windscreen, the interior however was like new! She didn't want to sell her "Cecilia" but she could no longer get out of the low car without help. We promised her we would take good care of Cecilia and get the rust fixed. My wife decided to rename the car "Mumbleweed", Bumblebee's "special" cousin Notice the tape around the windscreen and rear quarter windows The weekend after we brought Mumbleweed we entered her in Theo's run, a yearly run from Perth to Dowerin ending with a show at the Dowerin show grounds. Here she is 3rd row from the front, taped in windscreen and all We got plenty of positive comments, rather surprising when she was sitting next to an E-type Jag and a Monaro A few months after this we stripped her down and fixed all the rust. We were going to keep the colour original but changed our mind and went with a brighter yellow. Seeing as we weren't sticking with original we put red pearl over the top I haven't taken any decent pics of her since then so I'll get some soon. Last week I managed to score some MA61 rims for her! Center caps are all perfect This is the offset with the original mags. And here with the MA61's. Just need to get rid of the silly stretch fitted 175's and put 195's on them and they will look great!

Loving the photo's and the vid, all looks like great fun. And you mate sux Parrot (I want a factory and more cars!) :lol:

Damn, I thought the same 19914... and Uncle Shady :lolcry:

Meh, I personally like your plan. Why not have some fun with it :)

Another beautiful looking ride! I think she looks perfect the way she is (after guard is fixed) ;)

BAHAHAHAHA good work there SLO

I saw a squirrel, and it went like this :P: Thank you for reminding me how little I actually know about mechanics.

Howdy Rufus, Can't wait to see some pics of this car minus the inch of dust :lol: Just wondering what the first 3 digits of your vin are seeing as you changed the discription to "Possibly the VERY FIRST KE10 Corolla off the Boat!". I think we can confirm or debunk that very quickly ;) Mine starts with KE10-194, there are at least 3 older cars on RC (probably more not on RC).

I'm in if we go the old Jap retro style :)

Yeh the old 30's are way before the 17 digit VIN's ;)

Ah ok, I was thinking a lot worse when you said bent chassis. Still must have hurt!

Oh shit! The way I understand it, it's nearly impossible to prove someone else is liable if you don't actually hit them :( I hope I'm wrong...
