Ok i have my ke70 for about 6 months now, and i thought it was time to show it off.

 

When i bought this car for $900 it was completely stock new tyres all around with a 1.6 stick on thingo on the side and i was like wtf, which i still am like wtf about. and free rust.

 

it came with a 4k and yeah.

ok so i got some pics dug em up from the day i bought it, man my hair was long then, though it did all fall out :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And thats the ke on the day i bought her. what a good day, i didnt know a thing about it or corollas or cars for that matter apart from v8's are cool haha. :sob:

 

but next ill post pics of a few months later....

ok so now a couple of months on... i found ke70.com and then well i found all the other sites and i was like whoah!!! and yeah so i decided to go and hunt on here for stuff to learn about.

 

well in the meantime i did things i already new how to do + a lil help from rollaclub.com of course!!

 

this included wasting my money on a full service and carbi shit and now I'm about to change to a weber. i t cost me 400 bucks f@$kin rip off and he didnt even do a full service.

 

anyway he said mate your radiator is about to die itll cost you about 400-500 for another one i was like hmmm.... :wink: i don't want to spend 400-500 on a shitty radiator... so i devised a plan that saveed me money!! i went to autobarn and bought a bonnet scoop haha. now she dosent even hit the warm mark haha!!! and only 30 bucks!!! :sob:

 

anyway heres pics of the stuff i did to it around that time...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and....

 

 

 

 

 

and thats about it for that period of time.

ok then i had a bit of break and now ive started to finish some of the stuff i had been doing on it.

 

so i went to work on my bumpers and the rustand finishing stuff!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and yes.

:sob: that's a brutal bonnet scoop.

ok now to now adays...

 

and it is brutal haha scares the pants off people at the traffic lights!!!! rofl!!!! :sob:

 

 

i bought that

 

 

i put it on

 

 

i painted it

 

 

i love bunnings, it only cost me 40 bucks to do 2 coats of paint!!!. photos are from phone so not that good but you get the idea :wink:

 

and thats it for the moment, i will be checking out a worked 4k to shove in it which should be good!! :cool:

 

later guys and gals tell me what you think. :dance:

What a dramatic transformation! Looks awesome now, Congrats!!! :sob:

thankyou, ive put a lot of work into it, its getting there soon to finish hopefully by the end of the year, but i don't think it will ever be finished there will allways be more to do to it :sob:

 

its nice to drive around want more torque though haha

Wow to me that actually looks pretty good. I've been thinking about the bonnet scoop for a while now but haven't done anything about it. SA's laws about them confuse me a bit actually.

 

What part scares everyone at the lights do you know? The bonnet scoop or the bumper :sob: . Looking good for a cheap paint job.

haha all of it lol, yeah I'm pretty happy with the paint, stuff washing it just give it another coat of paint!!!

i would say you can make them for around 1k using good parts, or if your cheap using adm brakes non adjustable shock mabye $600
