7shades Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Quite fond of the odd exclamation mark or two aren't you!!! But on topic.... rolla looks cool... Personally I'd keep it all original on the outside, (whitewall tyres and all) and slip a nice 20 valve in it. Sleepers rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLLA's Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks mate i really take into consideration what peoples comments say and i am undisided as of yet wether i keep it original or not. My first plan was to keep it original but i saw the nicest bright yellow ke20 in capalaba (brisbane) the other day and it looked modified and it really caught my eye and i loved it. (if neone noes the car that kinda matches that discription please send me some pics, i fell in love with that car at first site). and I'm defenly gettin white walls with the ke20 hud caps i got on it! and I'm gonn get some venitians lol i love em. Cheers, Myles! (p.s. i will try lay off the exclamation marks, its just a habbit!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10ROLLA Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 ok all just a lil update on the interior, is takin WAY WAY longer then expected but its better then nothing! we have only got the bottom of the driver side seat complete! any way here are some pics of the progess. first we glued vynil to a thin layer of foam! then glued new foam onto the seat and sculptured it! (only got pics of the bottom half but u get the idea) then sowed the original pin stripe "look" into the vynil and foam to go in the middle of the seat! then sowed the lil side flaps on then came along the pipeing and the front aprone/edge of the seat, (in this pic it wasnt complete) then i vyniled a lil interior insert i made, it sits under the back windscreen and ontop of the parcel shelf still gonna be workin on the interior tonight and maybe tomoro! is takin for ages but i would rather a job that looks great and took a while, then a job that is dodgie and looks like sh*t. Cheers Myles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10ROLLA Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 thanks mate! the interior looks good ey I'm really pleased with it, it is still happenin but very slowly, anyway me,my brother and our dad all went 3rds in a welder yesterday so i started on the rust today! i got 3/4's of the way through the first bit of rust when the lil portable bottle they come with became empty, so me and dad jumped in the car and bought an "E" size bottle or something (decent size bottle) with the lot, then got home to find out the size hose they said would fit doesnt, so i only got this far thisarvo and will probly continue ova the weekend! please note this is my first eva go at tryin to weld so i think its a good atempt! here are the pics as u can see in this pic it looked like only a few lil holes that could be spot welded ova, but as for usual when really looked at it went deeper and wouldnt be long until it boke out again. so i cut the section out and clean all up then gave it a quick spray just to help prevent it from rust later on! then i cut metal out of the roof that i cut off the ke55 (if u want to see a ke55 convertible have a look in automotive discussion) then welded it into place until the bottle went empty, which was like 5 minutes of welding? thats all for today!

10ROLLA Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 ok guys, as i left the rust repair i started on thursay untill yesterday to start on again it covered itself in surface rust, so i grinded it all off and started welding again and blew holes into it everywhere so i cut that piece out and welded a new piece into it, this time the weld was a bit everywhere but it did the job. i painted it just to seal it from surface rust for when i strip the hole car down to bare metal. i also fixed the rust under the rear drivers side tail light! here are the pics i will bog the shape back into it when I'm painting it new peice welded in and painted under the tail light rust, all grinded back then the rear tailight rust repaired and painted! hope u r havin a good read soo far Cheers Myles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
