May 11, 200818 yr comment_245754 Hey guys! My name is Leigh (aka Moe) and I own what was a ae82 1985 CSX sedan! I origionally bought the car as a run around back in early 2005 so that I could concentrate on my project car (XA Falcon Coupe)... But I lost my licence for 3 months and out of total bordom, one thing let to another and 2 weeks after handing in my licence I was sanding back the origional silver paint of the Corolla! The car has been thru several rebuilds since it origionally got resprayed (and currently has been off the road for 13months for biggest rebuild Ive done to it)! How it was when I first bought it: At the time, I had NO idea about the 4age motor and I spent a few grand on the 4ac... Included oversized piston, head port and polish, a custom ground Crow Cam etc, etc... I also had the interior retimmed in a felt like material: Edited November 25, 200817 yr by RollaBus_4agze Report
May 11, 200818 yr Author comment_245755 The ae82 dash I wasnt really a fan of, so I did a ae92 conversion: (smoothed, painted and airbrushed) Boot install: Had some 'brushing done on the bonnet as well: Finished result: Report
May 11, 200818 yr Author comment_245756 NOW... I'm very much into the show side of things, and as nice as the car had turned out, I really wasnt happy with it! So, I took it off the road a little over a year ago now! Everything pretty much has been changed, modded, chromed or painted in one way or another! The biggest thing to change was the 4agze conversion :D The engine is still yet to be started: Report
May 11, 200818 yr Author comment_245757 One thing I had alot of trouble with, was the 18" rims on the rear... bad rubbing issues on the gaurd :D I had not seen this done on ANY ae82 before... So hoping I'm a bit of a pioneer with this :) Report
May 11, 200818 yr Author comment_245758 The rear bumper also had to be modded because it no longer lined up with the new gaurds... I cut up my origional front bar and had it plastic welded and massaged so it looks like it should have been from factory! I have a ton on photos on the build up of the engine, dash conversion etc if anyone is interested! Awesome to have found another Corolla forum! Hope everyone likes the Rolla Bus!!! :D Cheers, Moe Report
May 11, 200818 yr comment_245762 Haha it's hell good to see a later model rolla being done up. How much money did all this cost you? You've done heaps to it... Oh, also those rims look really nice on it. Edited May 11, 200818 yr by Mybowlcut Report
