67Rolla-Ken

Welcome to the club... definitely the first person i've see crash to get our attention :P Got home without overheating i guess?

Always sad to see any of your collection split up... I hope to get a peek at them all some day :)

Just watching love the beast again... always gets me motivated. Especially when Clarkson says all cars have souls... except maybe the Toyota Corolla.... I'll show him!!

The road me and Mark took getting out from the zig zags (zig zags were too packed). Best run I've had in ages :)

check the link in Mark's post... all will be revealed :)

That stop by the water where we had the crash was a good spot.

Thanks... I'm not very impressed with it at the moment. I just want it finished :) After our trip to Bali later this month and paying off the roller doors for the garage, then I can think about starting to spend money on her again.

:) any more rust removal and you'll have a scooter!

Not if you know what you are looking at. The 67 has a lot of little differences. If I could have a pic of the dash all would be confirmed :)

Sounds like a fun drive... but you would have to keep heading west to see the best babes :hmm:

I'm loving this thread... so many people guessing what's going on :hmm: love the before and after pics... being a 67 Corolla owner I bet I can guess what's going on :blinks:

Yeh was a great day. Everyone behaved themselves... even me! :hmm: (not counting that last run with the KE15, that was after the cruise :blinks:)

It'll buff out :hmm:

Do I cut the red wire or the blue wire?? :hmm:

There should be plenty of pics coming. Was the best turnout ever by a long way, about 10 cars?? The incident I was referring to earlier, a P plater in a nicely hotted up KE70 (4AGZE powered) spotted us all parked in a row... but failed to spot the line of cars in front suddenly stop. :blinks: Front was very twisted but quarters were OK and the engine and rad were OK. I think he had all the parts to repair it sorted before he left :hmm: Fortunately the car he hit had a tow-ball, so no/very little damage to it. I'm sure we will have plenty of pics up for this as well :blinks:

That was fantastic, best cruise yet... Pity about the half-time entertainment, poor kid. That KE15 is sooo fun to chase, if it wasn't for the traffic I never would have been able to keep up :hmm:

OK I'm off to get fuel then to meet up at Shell on Thomas Rd (not enough fuel to make it there :hmm: ).

That's not far outta my way... I'll swing past there first. Will be in yellow Celica, can't miss it :hmm: Hey Garnett, any chance you'll be bringing some basic tools? the temp gauge on the Celica has stopped working and it's not the sender, it's something wrong in the cable we think... it works after a jiggle :blinks:

Wow, all looks fantastic! Can't wait to seeit all put back together. Great colour.

Lets just call it a Toyota owners club cruise... :)

I'm crook as a dog... but will try and make it in the wife's RA60 Celica. I'll try not to breath on anyone :) Still no closer on the 10.... anyone wanna give me $15k for an almost finished 67rolla?? (got about as much chance as that V6 KE11 getting his $13K) :)

Hi :lol:

Damn. :yes:

Anywhere but Pedders I would suggest. They will tell you everything needs replacing, standard opperating procedure for most pedders stores. Your local tire place should be able to inspect and repair, Ian Diffen fixed mine.

Drum brakes on rear are fine... I don't think the style of brakes is the problem, probably more the condition of them or some other component?? Check with the other Rolla nuts in your area and see if they know of a trusty mechanic who can fix (or replace) yours properly. When working properly there are no issues with the rear brakes or handbrake in stock standard format. I think swapping out for someone else's drum brake setup would fix easier than swapping for a disc setup. I hope this is helpful, even if it's not the answer you were hoping for?? :yes:
