  1. Lola. Got her for a song. 4k Trimatic Original 149xxxkm Nice amount of rust, typical for this model. To do list: Brakes and exhaust getting done Friday. 2" pipe through to single muffler, should be loud enough. Will get extractors after rego. Organize RWC Rust being welded up within the next week Up idle to get rid of stutter at idle. Thinking of setting idle at 950rpm. Replace stock wheels with 13" mags. Rego. Plans: Lower, kingies up front and lowering blocks on the rear. Bigger cam Tacho, but moulded into instrument cluster. ke30 bars ke30 tail lights Modify an AE92 centre console to hide handbrake and mould up cupholders. Generally keep it tidy but have some fun in it. Not chasing big hp but something that will still turn heads.
  2. Just picked up a '55 and this is crazy amounts of inspiration! Can't wait to see how this thing goes on the dyno, keep the good work up!!
  3. Nah I can drive her on my vehicle permit. Croydon
  4. Have a bit of a job with some rust needing to be cut out and some new metal put in. Over the course of the coming days ill be stripping paint and flaking rust from the rear quarter panels and coating it with rust converter to see what I can get away with. If it's not too extreme, ill fiberglass and body filler it. If my fears are correct, then I'll need somebody to help me cut and shut the rust. If you provide the tools and metal, I can provide payment in both cash and alcohol! Am in Eastern suburbs so give us a yell if you're keen to have a crack. Regards, Sam
  5. My new baby under the carport :) Cream Ke55 sedan
  6. The feeling you get when you buy another Corolla :)
  7. People who diss me for reppin' Toyota. Got called a retard for telling a commodore guy that his car was heavy and slow. He told me he's eaten v8's in his stock 6 3800.. Told him I've been in Corollas that are faster. Do believe a 100kw 4age Twinky is a little quicker than your 1400kg VP 6. Yeah, so what I happen to have a Commodore as well? Doesn't mean I love them, simply means that I can flog it all day long and get parts given to me because half the idiots who own them f@$k them so I get freebies. Cheap and does what I need it to. On a positive note: Picking up a clean '55 tomorrow arvo, original 149xxxkm for $500 :D
  8. Putting the thickest, most nasty oil in my old ae92 before selling it to stop it sounding like it was ready for a rebuild (overdue with the way I drove it.. Bounce off rev limiter on every takeoff) Drove a Falcon with no resonator or mufflers whatsoever. Straight pipe from extractors to tailpipe. Noise was incredible, sounded like it was sick. Worst thing was doing a burnout on already f@$ked rubber, watching it de-laminate down the street..
  9. Spotted: My ke30 that ill sell to whoever can pick it up first for $500 in Croydon. Need the cash ASAP. Also keep seeing a ke2x around town, grannyspec as :)
  10. f@$kING PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY WILL BUY A CAR THEN ON THE DAY OF PICKUP GO OH NAH SOZ don't WANT IT... Going to rage so hard..
  11. Having to go to three different private surgery clinics on the same day for different procedures.. Can they not just do everything for me at once? Honestly, to fix my big toe (ingrown toenail, been like this for 3 years, havnt run in that time because of the pain) all they need to do is a shot of local and a scalpel to slice it out. Hell, I'll do it.. Also WGMG: My phone refusing to send people pictures of things... VERY annoying. My last WGMG: People who insist to go through insurance with such small things. Why must I pay an excess on a scratch on your car when you were at fault for not checking your mirrors? gah..
  12. Decided it's time to tackle the whole zero power issue to the car. From what I can tell with the wiring diagram, I have blown a fusible link in the circuit, resulting in the whole no power thing.. How do I replace these? Also, will I need to replace the wiring throughout the whole circuit as well? Not a wiring expert, just want to know my options, other than "take to auto elec". Currently flat broke.. Thanks, Sam
  13. Ringing shops to make an enquiry and being told that the part that they ordered in for me was sold to another customer before I even got a call to say it had come in... Over it.
  14. It was auto last I saw mate
  15. Rarity for a Commodore
  16. Buying a car that passed a rwc with ZERO faults :) just got to wait for the Corolla to sell before I take possession :)
  17. Lowballing offers... Mate, I want a VERY reasonable price for my car, don;t offer me HALF and expect me to consider it.. If you don't have the cash, don't even pretend to be a prospective buyer..
  18. Absolutely, I'm a better cook when it comes to dinner anyway :) It's not a big deal mate, I've got a ke30 out back ;) and i'll have a car that can tow it!
  19. WAS a 55 at Kilsyth Pick-A-Part, not sure if it's still there, but was last week! Hope it helps!
  20. Knowing you've got a keeper when she makes you breakfast when you're in the shower :) Getting a VT Acclaim in immaculate condition for an absolute bargain, just gotta sell Bucket to finalize payment :)
  21. When I can gets me a 80amp VL alty, it's on! (unless you supply and ill cover cost of alty on top of carton)
  22. How much cash we talking?

    Nah, pano doesn't have the interior bits I need unfortunately :( Tomorrow will consist of - - Buying my brother's 42" plasma and setting it up as he just got a 60" sucker. - Shining up one of the mags to see how it'll come up - Install other bailey channel and passenger door seal - Modify chrome trims for outer gutter rails and if the weather is good, try an experiment... Stay tuned - Scour eBay for cheap shit

    '75 Ke30

    On order are brake hoses :) Picked up bailey channels today and installed drivers one, absolutely perfecto! The other one was in such poor condition it wasn't even funny.. Fell apart as I pryed it from it's slot.. Also scored the passenger door rubber. After Thursday's auto elec visit, the car shall be one step closer to hitting the road Still chasing my tail with different bits and pieces, but It's getting there. Maybe my next investment should be a camera EDIT: Just spoke to Pete Robinson on the phone, shall be making a visit to Oakleigh soon to have a word about parts :)
