Name:

Jessica-Marée Jansen

Car:

KE55 1981 Corolla

Motor & Driveline:

4K with 4 Speed box. In other words Stock as a rock

Suspension & Brakes:

Stock

Wheels & Tyres:

Stock

Interior:

Very well looked after Tan vinyl

Body:

Mustard and old. KE30 all chrome bumpers and Tail lights.

Other:

plenty of plans for my car, I will keep you guys informed.

 

 

I'm getting the interior redone all black,

and I'm trying to decide what colour to repaint her ,

I've been thinking maybe a Lighting Strike Silver or

a Flourecent Orange with a Gold Peral. I've also had

ideas on a Metallic Royal Blue and a Metallic Candy Purple.

Hit me back and let me know what you's think.

 

In the mean time the stripping has began:

 

 

Cheers.

Looking good. Nice to see that its pretty rust free. I love the look of the square headlights with the KE30 bars and lights, tho I'd lose the Corolla badge on the rear.

 

I'll be watching this one. Feel free to check out my KE30's thread (Lolla The Corolla) for ideas.

P.S. Feel free to add you KE55 to my database thread (Links in my Sig, center pic)

Nice, I love seeing cars striped bare.

 

Have you seen the new green commodore with like a gold pearl, looks hot (for a commodore)

 

Would look even better on an old rolla :no:

have u ever thought of just respraying it beige?

 

i reckon its an awesome colour and will look much more period!

 

beige, bolt on flares, 15x8 superlites, lowered, your planned interior that sounds to be a good idea! (in my opinion) and you'd have an AWESOME cruiser! which you could build on everything else(engine, suspension, drivetrain) as you go!

Personally, I think if you plan to keep this car and not sell it why not do what you one to it and do it once.

Thanks and yes I always thought Corolla's looked better without that badge.

I never will understand why they created that one.

 

:y:

No I havn't thought of that but I really dislike

the colour. I'm one to pick an old car and keep

it lookig old but with a more modern day look.

I do like the other ideas though: 15x8 Superlites,

Lowered, My planned interior, and Yes I will be

converting her one day. But because of that power

to ratio thing and I get my L's in december so after

those shitass new laws came in I can't go any bigger

then a v6 and I can't turbo it or nothing untill I

get my blacks! Outragious!!! :y:

 

Stupid PIGS! and RTA! grrr.....

But oneday. :dance:

[ke55_sr20turbo]

Thanks heaps guys,

 

I will be doing what I want in/to MY Corolla.

lol. But like I said I still want it to look

flush and old but with a hint of modern

day :y: ...violations... hehe.

 

I'm respraying my Grill gloss black

and I've also repainted the Toyota

badge that is in my grill black with

the chrome again.

 

I'm trying to find cheap ass copy's

of the 5 spoked Simmon's in 15's"

and a plain black steering wheel

but with the chrome centre.

 

My boyfriend has been kind enough

and is going to make a dump pipe

for my exhaust, I hope.

 

But basically I'm just sitting on little

ideas and jobs. I am going to Pick 'N'

Payless at Blacktown this afternoon,

Gotta look for a rust free passenger door.

I got 2 rustcuts on that one. I think that

was about how much rust i got on there.

But yeah I was lucky.

 

Well keep you's posted.

Hey,

 

I'm stealing a Cortina diff, yay.

Have to get it shortend that but should

be able to get me off the mark quicker.

hahaha... me evil plans are rising!

[4ages]

You could always respray it in the Daewoo Matiz color, its like a bronze orange. I was going to use it on my car but went with the green instead.

it must have a custom centre in your corty diff? ke55 rolla diff ratio is 4.11-1, thats low! Hate to think what would make it quicker off the mark?! lol!

Celica or Corona.
