Hi guys my name is Andrew this is my project KE55

I have been an avid reader on Rollaclub for about 1 1/2 years and have read about everyone elses rides so i decided to put up my ride

I bought it about a month ago and on the drive home it sat at hot for the 2hour drive never went above so when i got it home i ripped the radiator out i just have to get it recoed i need to replace one of the headlights and dye the indicator lenses any way here are some pics of her let me know what you think.

I might keep it auto but time will tell. I will be keeping the 4k in her. If i respray it will be the same colour she has her own appeal.

I'm gunna call here "Lil Red" . For obvios resons.

Thanks for the offer but I'm getting the other one done in the next couple of weeks.

I'm seeing about an account at work so i can pay things off.

Thats a pretty great starting point for a project. Let me know if you need any other parts ;)

[roladude]

The list i gave you is about it for now hopefully but i will keep you in mind.

yeah the front seat are perfect, i just gotta clean them. All the door cars are perfect to, its just the top of the back seat that lets it down.

I gonna see how much itll be to get the back rest of the seat recovered, but it might not be exactly the same colour.

The carpet is perfect no holes no tears just faded.

I am very happy with "lil red".

Little update done not much but.

When I removed the radiator the fan shroud was rusty and the skid pan under the motor was to.

So yesterday I sanded them back and rust treated them and to day I painted them gloss black

I also painted the spare wheel gloss black to. Ill do the other wheels later on.

Cheers

OK like i said slow progress.

On the weekend i gave her a sevice , Replaced ALL of the hoses Heater, Fuel, Vacuum. What a mission that was.

Looks better with hose that arent expanded. :y:

Still yet to reco the radiator. Once that's done it will be road worthy ready

I have a pair of XX ke70 seats how hard would it be to put those in. :P

YAY finally I have sold my wheels so that means tomorrow my radiator is getting overhauled.

Then i gotta fit it and put a stereo in the car so i have some tunes.

Give the radiator a work out and bring it to work to get the roadworthy done

Then shock horror it'll be registered :yes: ;)
