Most of the seam welding has been done, and the underside has been painted.

Now on to under the bonnet and inside the car.

 

Should be close to painting the inside within the next 2 weeks.

Nice! I shall have to come and inspect it closer :dance:

ok, you are most welcome, but it's now uprite, and on it's new stands ready for more hard work.

Nice! Haven't seen much activity from the TRD brothers of late, hows it all going? This going to be another PRC 5K powered car?

No mate, the old uprite 5k is been put to rest, probably make a coffee table out of it.

 

The new engine will be twin cam, 4AGE with Juggs!!!

 

thought we'd update to later engine, more reliabilty, parts are easier to come by as well.

 

The ultimate would be for the corolla to win a rally out right, was close with the old car!!

The Toyota 4age......... Like a retard on viagra, they'll stick it in anything! :P

well said :P

More progress on the new shell, now with the inside of the boot and passenager compartment painted.

Next will be under the bonnet.

 

Looking good there ,4age in ke70 do you run amsag or cams rallys.Didnt think they would let you run it in cams events?

 

Unless theres a loop hole some where :) .

 

Good starting with a nice clean shell ,but a lot work,I'm helping a mate put his new subi together lots of man hours.

 

Keep us posted on progess. :P

Hey Rob, there's some new reg's coming out that may let us run under PRC, but failing that we'll run it under RRR, road reg rally car.

 

Yeah body shell wasn't so clean, we started this xmas last year and this is as far as we have got, but it all takes time!!!

 

I'm thinking it maybe another year before it's on the road again, but with alot of improvements.

 

Should be faster than it was before with better handling and traction.

 

Stay tuned!!

Sooooo pretty! Looking good...

nice, good to see another ke70 being done properly and hopefully road registered.

how you gonna go with the cage with the side intrustion? conditional reg or have i missed something?

atleast yours is progressing faster than mine! haha

good luck with it all, ill be keeping an eye on this one

 

cheers, andy

Good question Andy, mmm Tony knows more about the technical reg's from cams and how to get around them.

i think it has something to do with a blue plate, the car has been rego'd before so shouldn't be to much of a problem.

It doesn't get driven around the streets, it's trailer'd everywhere so the cops don't get the chance to stop it to check.

what happened to the trd 5k setup? i would be keen on it if you still have it

yeah we still have it, but sorry it's not for sale.

May see the car again if we go classic racing or rallying.

 

Have thought about making a coffee table out of it, surrounded by all the trophy's it's won, would be a big table!!!! :)
