JUNE 5TH 2016 is the next show just under a month away whos keen

thats awesome always thinking outside the box Reed

so its been a while since i last update anyone on this thing still got it and plans to keep this thing but i was looking for another project recently and was keen on a Ke70 cause i really want one of the 55 shape and one of the 70 shape. Anyway so in a nut shell i was giving the old 55 a look over yesterday as i don't often drive this thing much and it hadnt been started in a while so gave it a crank over and it still did but was very hard to get going . Found out the Battery is slowly dying but i managed to get it to start and run it for a while, but when its not in use i take the battery terminals off so it doesnt drain it completely. i have noticed that the motor looks tired and few leaks here and there so instead of buying another project car being thinking maybe spend the money and fix this up by that i mean total overhaul of the drive line and rebuild the motor or change the motor to something else but not sure what. List of things that i would do Remove motor and Gearbox then either find another motor and box or recon what is in the car (car is running a ke70 5 speed but its does grind a bit so it would need replacing or recon ) new clutch new gasket kit through out motor if i rebuild new fuel pump new radiator carby would need a rebuild find some new extractors overhaul suspension clean and rebuild diff tidy up interior new wiring throughout (really bad to drive this in dark as lights are really bad and wipers are slow) new wiper motor possible new paint job new panels new bonnet so got a massive project already and will take time to get it done will tackle one job at a time looking at buying spare parts and replace when refurbished eg ( buy another interior and get it re- uplostered before taking the old one out) get another engine and rebuild it before taking the one in the car out as i plan to keep it on the road and want to have minimal down time painting will happen at the end got a mate that will paint it and only take about a week or so to do big plans and lots to things to do but it just takes time and money so now on the hunt for 55 parts more for driveline stuff and interior for a 55 coupe WATCH THIS SPACE IN THE FUTURE any help would be much appreciated

very nice little project keen to see the end result

yea went last year and my mate took his MR2 and they are definitely a crowd attraction

hows this old rig going teza40

What i have noticed since being a member here for a while is that i didn't own a corolla but had a passion for one and well back then they weren't so expensive in particular earlier models but i still managed to get a good deal on my current 55 coupe with just a trade at the time many years ago. I am now looking for a Ke70 project car as i like them alot but have noticed that there are lots of them with huge price tags, Now i am not saying they are not all worth some dollars but some are way over the top in price but then in saying that so has older holdens and fords they fetch quite a big dollar value. Most of us on here enjoy Toyota's in some form from loving the car or just having a sentimental connection to them its what differs from a car collector from a enthusiast.

ALL Jap day approaching

Hey sorry been slack still have some of the black shirts avaliable

being qutie a while since i last updated the ride thread on here not much between then to now has happened expect had to replace a few small things along the way got a 2nd hand radiator and some new hoses as well as changed oil and filter but i suppose the biggest thing i have just done today is finally put my SSR 14 x 6 + 10 offset wheels on the car and damm do they look good, when i got the wheels nearly 2 years ago they where red centres and look good back then but i have since painted them the centres the same colour as the car and the have come up real good

is anyone at this event atm if so many cars there just wondering if people changed there mind due to the rain

reed you going to rep the rollaclub shirt i know i will keen to somehow get the 55 out there but i need some radiator hoses

yea mate that was my beast parked there i will go to the next one assuming its at rocklea again and park up the back some more

got another downshift meet tomorrow afternoon at ROCKLEA should be a good turnout any other members going to this i know REED is but anyone else Last few meets have been awesome and we've avoided police attention. Cheers boys and girls! We're going to venture back to Rocklea, so we will need to continue to keep things under wraps. The neighbours WILL call the cops if we do skids etc, and the cops MUST respond to complaints! So none of that shit. The CONDITIONS OF ATTENDANCE are the same as always: YOU are responsible for the guys you bring to the meet, and hang with. If they act like idiots, we will find out who it was. Brisbane is a very small place. THROW RUBBISH IN THE BIN BAGS. Use them, we put them up for you guys. If they're full, just chuck it in your car and throw it out next time you fill up. DON'T DO SKIDS, laps, rev engine, be antisocial in any way. We're sick of this bullshit, so evidence including number plates will be recorded and forwarded to the cops of people who do skids. Date: Sunday 19 May 2013, 3pm - dark Location: Rocklea Showgrounds, Goburra Street Rocklea Cost: $5 The meets are open to any cars, whether they be JDM, Euro, Hot Rod or Aussie. The idea is to have like-minded, respectful, appreciative people there, who can also follow some very basic rules. IF you can do those things, we'll see you at the meet, and you'll be welcomed with open arms. ♥

well lets make it the 5th of may and if its rained out or something then its the 19th shoot suggestions or even put a pic up of a proposed route to take
