ROLLLA Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Hey all, I was at Vic Roads the other day registering my new engine number and came across some older bloke that was admiring my rolla. He told me that his neighbour on a farm had a KE20 that was gonna get taken away by a wreckers. I went to take a look at this car and couldnt bare to see it stripped or turned into a VB can so i bought it lol. Now it needs heaps of work done. Needs a few new panels and tail lights so I'm gonna need the assistance of u guys to help me find some parts. Anyway I'm sure i can get it lookin awesome. Let me know what yas think.

73KE20 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Hey mate cheers for the comment, looks like a good starting point. Alota work but itll pay off goodluck with the build up Quote
ScottKE1X Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 well done, I'm the same as you, can't turn down a rolla on death row. we have to save as many old rollas as we can from the crusher... Did you get it cheap?? it needs work but it can definately be done. my old ke11 in the avatar was bought as a close to write off before i got it. Get stuck into it and keep us updated. Scott. Quote
ROLLLA Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) Hey thanks ROL-110 i need that kinda inspiration hehe. And ye i did get a good deal wif the car. I gave it a quick polish too just to get rid of that white dusty crap on the panels and it come up ok considering lol. I also resprayed the grill and went hack with the autosol on the bumpers and hubcaps. Edited April 30, 2007 by ROLLLA Quote
ScottKE1X Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Looking a lot better already! shame there isnt an easy fix for that bonnet... Scott. Quote
Raven Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) My bonnet rusted in the same place. I'm also on the prowl for another bonnet as mine is twisted. Looks like a nice starting point though :) Edited April 30, 2007 by Raven Quote
ROLLLA Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Posted May 3, 2007 Hmmm i can buy another ke20 for $450 with a blown engine. U guys think its a good idea to buy that as well????? Quote
Retrospekt Posted May 4, 2007 Report Posted May 4, 2007 i think everyone will say yes.... i wish i had the space for more cars :S Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted May 6, 2007 Report Posted May 6, 2007 If the body is better on the other one it might be worth pursuing. That one looks like a LOT of work. But good luck with it dude. Quote
ROLLLA Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Posted May 12, 2007 Couple of days ago me n a few mates were havin a laugh, sayin we should make a steering wheel made out of rusty chain for my newly named ke20 called Rusty itself haha. Problem is when you joke about something to me and my MaGyver mates, we start thinking and end up making it purely for a laugh. LMAO i can't believe it came out this good. Quote
Teddy Posted May 12, 2007 Report Posted May 12, 2007 ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that steering wheel is the GOODS ! omg it cleaned up well with a wash :yes: ! Quote
ROLLLA Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Posted May 12, 2007 Haha the center is from a KE70 and ye i might even powder coat it or if I'm feelin generous ill chrome dip it. Quote
HEKTIC Posted May 13, 2007 Report Posted May 13, 2007 haha, that looks like the steering wheel off joe dirt! Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 22, 2007 Author Report Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) Well i havent posted here for a bit. Ive recently sold the 20 to my cousin because i ended up buying a v6 for my other rolla. Ill still post up the process here of the step by step way were gonna make this rust bucket a cruiser. Heres just a few pix of how we've stripped the car and started on repairs. The bootlid definately needs to be thrown out lol. Edited July 22, 2007 by ROLLLA Quote
