greenmac80 Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 man that sucks. Are you just going to get a new panel and paint it the same colour? Yep i still have about a litre of paint left over.. that'll easily cover it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78_7kRolla Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 That sucks dude, because it was looking so good. Been hanging to see this painted! Your next objective should be to get a set of ke30 rear lenses. With the chrome sorrounds it will make the paint look even better. Matt.

WinKE55 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 shit! thats a kick in the nuts. feel sorry 4 u mate. would sell u panel off my parts car but i banged them up a bit lol. good luck with the next panel.... :hmm: Ouch.. I'd be spewing. And probably trying to hold myself back from pushing the driver. And it is one kick in the nuts too.. I've got a replica panel, but it will take too much fart assing around to stick it onto your corolla. Only other panels I have, will have rust in the lower quarter and a few dings in it.

Clapped out Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Sounds like you put a rod through the side of the block yeah? cheers phatke30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE70-from-mt-panorama Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Maybe you shouldnt have painted it... Well maybe its just a subtle hint from the car that "well i look good but i need more get up and go to go with it!!" Maybe a time for your 7k upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 This is getting worse every time I look :cool: My Rolla is in the process of a bare metal respray, I would be shattered if someone hit her soon after! Good luck with the repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Nah i the second cylinder rings are gone!. so it still runs but its lumpy as hell.. i need some rings.... but my the block is tired... so i may as well get another one. and i need it on the road asap! Actually i'm thinkin of just building a tough 4k... maybe turbo... slappin it in then finishing the interior. then perhaps sell it and i'm leaning towards buying a soarer. but that is a year or so down the track!

67Rolla-Ken Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I upgraded from a Soarer to the KE10 :cool: They are great.... but expensive to keep. A timing belt kit is ~$1600 (not fitted) and they are too technical to work on at home. I loved my Soarer but $11,000 maintenance in one year....

leorolla1975 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 yep, stick with the old car, nothing can overpower a shifting spanner and a phillips head screwdriver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
