Rola Drifter Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Ok after a few days of frustration with my alternator not charging, i had found out from an auto electrical teacher at tafe, that i have a vn/vp commodore alternator on there & didn't realise an injector like plug that was missing :D so of course it wasn't wired in properly even though i thought it was lol Now all thats left to do in the engine bay now is to set the ignition timing & she should be running like a dream :cool:. Also picked up a little something from banzai this afternoon :D Enjoy guys lol Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rola Drifter Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Alright, not a whole lot happening as i've been a bit busy. Tomorrow i'm off to pick up a rear passenger window winder mechanism, front & rear bars from a fellow rollaclub member & hopefully start cleaning up my interior to get it ready & on the road when the bonus comes through in a couple of weeks. I had a strut brace left over from my old project so i tidied up the rust on it & gave it a nice few coats of paint to suit the car :lolcry: Also going to sand & paint my rocker cover in orange over the next few days to suit the brace aswell.

Rola Drifter Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Alrighty........Update is, well i have swapped the orange ke70 with my girlfriends younger brother for his half sanded ae71 with a smallport 4age, loom & ecu. Today i had off & started to finish off sanding & painting some panels in primer. Will update some pics when i get a chance but it's the half black 1 in the photo with 3 rolla's in it :(. But as of today the orange rolla has gotten a rwc & will be on the road next week. I know i said the orange ke70 was going to be my last rolla, but well technically it still is my last 1 because i didn't sell it then buy another 1. I just swapped for it lol Anyways thats about it for now & i'll post up some pics of my progress soon. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltzgmp-ke70 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 :) i can't believe you swapped ur orange ksev! i love that colour. as heaps of other people have mentioned, it suits it. goodluck with ur painting that youre doing. i wish i had the money to re-do mine, i have a red ke70 but the clear coat is gone and the bonnet is orangey and faded. oh well!

Rola Drifter Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Yeah i can't believe i sold it either. Back in the day when i first met my partner i had a satin black 71 with a smallport 4age & it used to go really well for a stock smallport, i have missed it ever sinced i had sold it, so i guess thats why when the opportunity come up i was like "why the hell not" lol & this time seeing as i'm doing my tafe course to become an apprentice mechanic i would like to rebuild the little sucker & whack a turbo onto it so i can have that extra little bit of power to play with :) So hopefully it will all be going to plan soon enough! At the moment i'm sanding it & just pressure packing it in the primer just so i can get it all back together & sorted out. Cheers for the kind words.

SLW42 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 looks like it's coming along nicely bud :bash: :y: good luck man Cheers Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rola Drifter Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks mate, & yeah its coming along slowly.........It sux when the compressor i have doesn't have quite enough power to keep the orbital sander at full speed :bash: But yeah, all that is left to sand & paint is the bonnet, roof, boot & to pull apart 3 doors & primer them. So it's not going to badly considering i been crook with the flu for the last 3 days :S I've still got to figure out what i'm going to do motor wise, as i've still got the smallport 4age, loom & ecu, but as i found out last time round was that my old smallport ran out of power in the end. So i'm leaning either towards a 20v or a later model 4agze converted to turbo or just to rebuild the smallport that i have with the stronger internals to handle a turbo strapped onto it :y: Anyways thats about it for now lols Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
