Gspec Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Posted June 12, 2008 Was this advertised on ebay a few months back? Best of luck with the build. How long til you register it? Yeah its probably the car you saw on Ebay a while back. I didn't pay what the asking price. Hopefully it wont be too long before she's legal, depends on my time and the weather. The only roady issues are rust, tyres, a lense... maybe brakes. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted June 13, 2008 Report Posted June 13, 2008 your wait wont be too much longer man.... and at that price its worth the wait. Yeah still finding more rust. Done a fair amount of cut n shut so far. I'll show you some before and after pics soon... rust repair with out using bog, this will be 1 rare rolla :dance: I've been looking around for cleaner body so i can get something on the road a little sooner (fix this one at my own lessure) but its seems that people want stupid money for rusty dungers that are in similar condition to mine.... either these people are smoking crack cocaine or the peaople that buy these cars have NO idea.... which may be a blessing in disguise.... if they are willing to part with 4 digits for rusty shitters, then once my rolla is returned to a rust free state it will be worth a small fortune :lolcry: The spit is getting closer to cvompletion so once the VB10 is done, i'll get my ksev on it a rust treat it from all angles. If you can get your 38 off the road for a little we'll spit it up as well and get some POR 15 all over its little body :y: The rotty looks good mate :hmm: Haha with the way petrol is, dad will probably park the commodore out back and use my car, but if possible that sounds good to me mate. A ke70 with no rust, not many can say that :y: Quote
Gspec Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Posted June 14, 2008 Here's the before pic of the boot rear rail. The pic doesn't do it justice... theres a lot of rust there. Where you can see bog, is rust. then after the basic cut n shut, its a fair bit tidier. No rust No bog... all it requires is bit a of dolly work and its as good as new :lolcry: Quote
Paul Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Nice to know i'm not the only corolla nut that takes the effort to weld instead of fill, when doing rust repairs. Quote
Gspec Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Posted June 16, 2008 Nice to know i'm not the only corolla nut that takes the effort to weld instead of fill, when doing rust repairs. if a jobs worth doing... :lolcry: ... filling doesn't really repair rust, if anything it just makes it worse. Quote
Kid-Ae Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Jeez mate that has come up quite nice :) When you showed me the pics of the rust in this, i was very surprised, now seeing your craftsmanship, it doesnt seem as big a job :dance: Keep it up dude, AND don't LOSE FAITH IN FINDING ANOTHER KESEV :dance: Quote
