Have got a bit done over few days.

 

Spent bit more time on passenger guard. fixed all the rust and stuff wrong with it.

The silver touch up paint is a bit lighter, but ohwell. will paint whole car one day.

 

Got the wiring loom in under bonnet, and inside car too, just have to fix dash and hook it all up.

 

Got a pic of me door trims too, dunno if the proper corolla ones but i like em!!!

 

 

Pic of how the guard sits now, needs a small amount sanding then few copats of paint on fixed area's, looks much better i think. maybe a clear coat or 2, then a cut polish. that should add some shine to it.

 

 

Few snaps of my garage.

 

And a shot of how car sits now, gotta get me some yummy rims lol.

 

 

Hoping to have my 4k and box in on weekend.

got some fully sik red silcon hoses to replace fuel hoses and heater hose ect. had to get new ones anyway so why not go red haha.

Also bought some brand new toyota clutch and brake rubbers $16 posted from Bangkok, of all places lol.

 

Will update again in few days

change of plans,

 

Looking for a Registered rolla to bomb around in, if i find one cheap ill strip this one down and give it a lick of paint sometime.

[dfunkt]

those door trims are the same as my partners ke55XX. except where your speaker is, her's have pouches.

 

its looking like a very nice buildup :lolcry:

[Falken_KE30]

yeah it will be good, as i said I'm hoping to find a cheap run about rolla to use while ill do this one up.

will be easier, will have much more time to spend on it.

was hoping to have this one done in few months, but thats not gunna happen.

[Falken_KE30]

Got some work done slowly.

This is how the car sits now. a little dusty from sanding.

got most of the drivers side front guard done, just some finer sanding, lick of primer and all done.

front is pulled off still. need to get a stonetray first.

 

also got started on the wiring inside the car.

was actually easier than i thought. main loom was a bit tricking having to manage it around bits. makes it easy knowing there wiring for the dash is seperate. just one plug to join them all lol.

also test fitted the 4 door carpet i have, fits fine. just have to cut some bits near the door. guessing they for the pillar between the front and back doors on a sedan.

[Falken_KE30]

small update,

 

got some new shoes for the beast, nothen special. just 13x7 hotwires. bit of dish and looks mad i reckon.

All but one tyre are stuffed. will hopefully replace with the same 205/60/R13's that are on them.

 

bugger all lip damage, one has about 1" inch rash on the lip, but its to be expected.

 

 

Also started on converting back to round Headlights. got a pretty much perfect grill, just need the mounting brackets and headlights.

 

[Taz_Rx]

Think I've still got 1 set of round headers left, will double check and let you know. :lolcry:

[boosted_rolla_dreams]

Looking rather stylish now.. definately go with the round eyes cause they just give it that more appealing front end i think.

 

good work!! keep the pics coming

[Falken_KE30]

Yeah i like the Round ones better.

Rims look mad too. got the other 2 now, and also got enough wheel nuts for 3 rims haha.

 

will give them a polish tommorow if the rain has gone.

[Mighty tas rolla]

:lolcry: :dance: :y: looks great man can't wait to see it running

[KE ping it real]

They are the same rims that i had problems with the calliper on. Just make sure they spin after you do up the nuts on the front. You may have to do some grindage too

[Falken_KE30]

nah mine spin perfect, and i got larger RA40 celica brakes up front.

Mind u not much room, but they 13x7, and a fair amount of room inside.
