hey i am pretty new into corolla's i am a semi turned commodore man, i have recently gotten myself into a ke55 corolla that was damaged in an accident, i am in the process of fixing her up and respraying her, i have all the body work finished as of tonight, hopefully to be primed on the weekend, i am planning on a 3 layer pearl of violet pearl over a white base. so hopefully she'll look pretty insane, she has been pretty insanely lowered sitting on bump stops at the back which i plan on cutting out to get her even lower, just lowered springs at the front, standard wheels which i am respraying HSV wheel silver with whitewall tyres, i have just bought to monza reclineable racing seats to throw in the front as the rest of the interia is in good nik i just leaving it. i have got some extractors and possibly twin carbs for her, although there is also the possibility of a turbo. has anyone turbo'd a stok 4k? and with how much luck have you had.

 

cause i need a lil more power than the old standard 4k but can't spend too much as the main project is my vh commy.. i'll keep everyone posted and hopefully get some picks if she painted this weekend fingers crossed...

have a look at the turbo 4kc thread in the engine conversion forum just below this one.

 

theres now heaps and heaps info in there. :jamie:

yeah well it is finally ready to get primed tomorrow, so yeah tomorrow the entire thing will be primed and ill be able to rub it down and get colour on it next weekend...

 

it is costing me the absolutely nothing to get the paint for a 3 layer pearl

 

1L violet pearl

6L primer

4L clear

2L of colour

 

+ hardeners and thinners

 

= 850.00

 

pretty good i reackon for a 3 layer pearl...

 

so yeah costing about a grand to respray entire car in a 3 layer including panelbeating costs and painter costs

 

sounds good to me :lol:

 

hopefully next weekend i will have pics of painted rolla and the weekend after the finished product all put back together...

 

finally starting to look like a finished car
