TOMMYS Ke 11

Hi there Si thanks for the quick reply ! Very interested :2thumbs: if you could please PM me your Phone number so as I could give you a call as if you only knew how long it takes me ( THE OLT FART ) to type out these replies you would fall down laughing :lmao: Cheers :- Stuart :wave:

Hi there everyone ! We hope you all have had a great Easter break and a safe one :thumbsup: from Thomas & myself . Well anyway as I've said many times before ! PROJECT CARS ARE THAY EVER REALLY FINISHED ? well it appears NOT :no2: as I've just finished replacing the 3rd K50 gearbox :bash: in Thomas little Rolla ! we have decided it is time to start VERSION No 3-4 or is it 5 ? LOL (not me :lolcry: ) lost count . So I have stripped down our donor shell ready to go on the rotisserie for the start of all the modifications needed . Bigger tunnel for W50 gearbox / rear end modifications for a bigger diff :) that hopefully should take care of the drive line .Now as I will be keeping the original body as a complete rolling spare I will be chasing a few KE11 panels if anyone can help out as we need a Boot lid - Front Valance / Stone guard and possibly a bonnet if so you can ring me ( Stuart ) on Mob 0428 574248 or home phone AH 03 50376 708 it would be much appreciated . As Justin the owner of PEACHES has set the bar VERRRYYYY high with his little Rolla making STREAT MACHINE :2thumbs: great stuff and well done ( Congrats again Justin ) . As I don't have to rush this one there will be quite a few body mods as we will be looking to make it a top end SHOW CAR and yes it will be ORANGE ;) . I will get Thomas to put up pics as we go as we know you all love pics :thumbsup: . Now as I have both W50 gearboxes Steel case / aluminium case we will also be looking for a K to W bell housing if anyone can help out ? Cheers :- Stuart :wave: BLOODY PROJECT CARS :P HAHAHA LOL hear I go AGAIN.

Hi Justin ! Bought the mag :thumbsup: what a great write up , something to be very proud of :) the little Rolla looks great :2thumbs: . My only complaint is :P as I've just finished replacing the 3rd K50 gear box in Thomas little Rolla :bash: we have decided to start version No 4 or is it 5 ? lost count LOL and you have set the BAR VERY HIGH :hmm: I've already stripped the new body shell ready to go on rotisserie for some major modifications - W50 gear box / Hilux diff just to start with ( that should take care of the drive line ;) ) and then make some major body mods !!!!!! wont say much more , I'll get Thomas to post up pics as we go . BLOODY PROJECT CARS :scarymovie: NEVER FINISHED :wtf: here I go again HA HA HA anyway once again "CONGRATS" on making it in to "STREET MACHINE" :2thumbs: Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Also "CONGRATS" Justan well deserved :thumbsup: and ill be out to buy the current issue of Street Machine to have a read , finally an issue with a true street machine in it :yes: not over budget cars that can't really be driven on the street or a mag full of burn out cars :harhar: well done from both Thomas and myself :2thumbs: . Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Watched it on youtube :popcorn: ! sounds great :thumbsup: , are there any vids from out side showing it shredding the Avons :rolla: ? Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Congrats on the silverware guys :thumbsup: great job and well deserved . I can't comment on the vid as it wont open up on my computer :down: so is there any chance of sending to my email ( [email protected] ) as I would really like to see the little beast in action :rocknroll: and it looks like you are wasting no time in getting it all sorted out ! Motor out and straight in to it great to see LOL been there and done that ! as has been said so many times before PROJECT CARS ARE THEY EVER REALLY FINISHED ????? short answer " NO " :P once again congrats guys. Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

vids-vids-vids-vids LOL but get the message ! WE WANT VIDS ; anyway congrats on getting this little beast out on the pad and treating it with no respect :P as with all motor sport there are always teething problems to sort out :hmm: What head gasket were you running ? as we have found that it is well worth paying the extra and using genuine Toyota ones ( Thank to Stu Kickn5K ) good advise as usual :2thumbs: anyway all the best with sorting it out and look forward to seeing this little beast in action but in the mean time we all want VIDS-VIDS-VIDS :harhar: LOL and have a great day :thumbsup: . Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Hi Cleveland ! Well it looks like no COTY this year :down: which was a real shame as there has been some great builds and your little BEAST is one of them :thumbsup: . Anyway how are things looking for MOTORFEST ? any chance of a vid of the little BEAST running as I think I'm probably not the only one who wants to hear this thing fire up :rocknroll: and thread some tyres :P and don't worry about the neighbours they will get over it or maybe they will just move out :lmao: anyway I'm trying to talk my mate into bringing his little Hilux ute ( 302 Windsor ) down to MOTORFEST and catch up with you but if not have a great weekend and smash some tyres of the little BEAST and show the big boys how it done :2thumbs: and have FUN :party: . Cheers:- Stuart & Thomas :wave: Go the little ROLLAS.

Hi there everyone we haven't posted for a while ! Hope you all had a great Xmas and are having a great start to the new year . I've just got Thomas little Rolla back on the road after 3 weeks trying to find new front & rear shocks as the Pedders comfort gas had all let go and needed replacing ( Pedders no longer make for Ke10/11 ) so once again I called our good mate Stu ( Kickn5k) for help ! who put us on to an old thread by Felix ( thanks heaps mate ) so we ended up using the Ke30 part numbers from the Monroe shocker range 1970-75 Front- Monroe GT Gas p/t No 25-3810 with the 25mm spacer and Monroe Original on the rear p/t No 14-0304 which are the same as the Pedders that we removed . The only problem we have is we have to get the tops of the front struts machined in the lathe to fit our coil over tops & camber/caster tops to fit but it has all come together and is handling better than it ever has so once again thanks Stu and also a big thanks to Felix on a great thread on the Ke10/11 suspension it defiantly made the job a lot easier . Cheers:- Stuart.

Hi here everyone ! haven't posted for a while but still on here nearly every night following some of the great builds ( FERAL 4K , STEERFAST RALLY , RALLY ROLLA ) just to mention a few . Not much happening our way at the moment ( to busy do other peoples cars :down: ) anyway just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year. Cheers:- Thomas & Stuart :wave: :thumbsup:

Hi Cleveland ! What else can be said other than ( SEX ON WHEELS ) it is looking FAAARKING AAAAAAAWSOME can't wait to see some vids of this thing going NUTS & OFF ITS HEAD :rocknroll: great work ( COTY 2014 :2thumbs: ) good luck with the finish of the build ! not to far away now ( HA HA THEY ARE NEVER FINISHED :P ) anyway keep the great work up and Have a Merry Xmas & Great New Year. Cheers :- Stuart & Thomas :wave:

Hi there Tore ! car is looking great :thumbsup: job well done , as we have done the bike carbie setup I would highly recommend hose clamps on the silicone hoses on the manifold as well as putting a brace from the carbie's back to the engine to remove any vibration out of them as they have a tendency to vibrate off. If you want to have a look at our set up check out ( TOMMYS Ke11 car the year 2013 ) and keep the great work up :2thumbs: Cheers :- Stuart. :wave: have a Merry Xmas @ Great New Year.

Thanks Stu :thumbsup: I'll work out to do that one day :lmao: . Cheers:- Mate :2thumbs: ( Car of the year :hmm: Hard to find :P )

if you have read of tommy's build it is not as hard as everyone seem to believe. yes custom manifold and depending on what carbs you get custom cable/linkages also ! we used Kawasaki 900 flat slide and they work great ! fairly worked 4k/5k combination and still returning around 36mpg "not bad " anyway good luck with your build. Cheers :- Stuart :wave:

As others have said ! :thumbsup: THANK YOU CRAIG :thumbsup: so much for not only sharing this build with us but also taking us down to the shed each night with you ! it has been a great experience that I have enjoyed following and hope that I might get to see it in action one day. I hope it goes as well as it looks :2thumbs: and look forward to some action shots / video footage of it doing what its built for " GOING HARD " :yes: all the best and look forward to the next build. CHEERS:- Stuart :wave: :y:

Looking "FANTASTIC" Tore :thumbsup: ! It has come a long way from your first post of the little Rolla , it is a real credit to you and the amount of work that you have put in to it to getting it to look as great as it is :yes: love the paint scheme( looks fast sitting still ) LOL! Keep the great work up and keep the photos coming :2thumbs: . Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Looking real sweat but TUFF there Cleveland! :rocknroll: I hope it goes as well as it looks , a job very well done :thumbsup: and now you have made it very hard who to choose for COTY :doh: as there is now 2 really big contenders at the moment :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Looking sweat Craig :thumbsup: any chance of a dyno run video ? just to tease us with . I really hope this little Rolla goes as hard as it looks I will keep following with interest :yes: . Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Hi Craig ! haven't commented for a while , had a bit of a holiday ( couple weeks in hospital ; great LOL ) any way it all looks to be coming together and looks great. I have to agree ! go with the Boyd compliment as you don't have enough flat screens to qualify for 'pimp my ride' LOL keep the great work up and yes it is defiantly a contender for COTY :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Hi Craig ! just a free " BUMP" to get you back at the top where this build belongs :2thumbs: Cheer:-Stuart :wave:

Wow, Wow and bloody Wow ! what else can I say other than I've got to agree with Bret " LOL" Craig :yes: as this just keeps getting better and better with every update :2thumbs: . I feel like I've become a Rollaclub addict :P jumping on every night just to look at any updates you have done and you haven't been letting us down :no2: and have you any idea as to when you think you might have it finished and will you be doing any events down in VIC as I would really like to see this thing in action :thumbsup: .Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Hi Craig ! How could I be anything other than positive and supportive with such a great build thread :thumbsup: to read . As to my project ( project 25 ) it is still on hold as I've gone from one WB Holden ute to two WB Holden utes to restore with a possible 3rd one to follow as well as my mates Massey Ferguson 65 tractor to straighten up and paint for him along with my Dads camper van which needs a little attention :n: But it all helps pay the bills and lets me buy the parts for ( project 25 ) so when I do get started it hopefully will go along without to many hold ups" HAHA" as though that's gunner happen :no2: besides all that I'm to busy following your thread to start on e of my own :2thumbs: LOL . So as I keep saying keep the great work up and keep them updates coming :yes: . Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

Looking good Craig ! But I think we all now just expect this high quality work from you and you don't let us down I come home from work ready to give you a free BUMP and get your thread back up top where it belongs but you beet me . Anyway keep the great work up and keep them updates coming . Cheers:- Stuart
