Parting out the KE70 aye :P

If I had time I would have done the same. The wagon is looking good fellas.

Thanks Jake.

 

It'll be experience for Josh and pocket money to get Paint for the P/Van.

 

Pics of the Ke70 are up on this thread: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/46279-wrecking-ke70-slant-front-corolla-pics-are-up/

No worries fellas. I can tell you now I'll miss seeing it every time I get work done to my car, as will my mechanics son. It was his "play car". For an 8 yr old he knew what he was doing was pretty funny, got head lights going again. I think he even got the engine to crank or something :P Not too sure.

any updates?

None so far. Just been sitting up the sideway under tarp, bracing the Rain. :)

 

Gotta wait until we flog off the Ke70 to start work on Ollie again. The Ke70 is in front of Ollie and it doesn't have a Diff under it. :(

 

There probably won't be any progress until next year. Till then, I should be getting some Parts for it, especially Christmas. :D

Well today we decided to let Ollie air out and check out how well the Paint has settled.

 

Josh went stupid happy snappin' and got a whole heap of pics. :lolcry:

Hi guys,just a little note of caution about having your freshly painted body stored under a tarp! I recently had an experience of having a body stored for a period of time under a tarp outside and although it was waterproof and did not get wet in any way,the humidity underneath the tarp buggered up the paintwork something terrible.Fortunately it was only a quick coat for protection while it was stored but I basically had to start from scratch again due to the damage etc.The paint really needs to be able to breath and allow the thinnerts etc to evaporate naturally.Maybe I'm wrong and maybe it was somehow my fault but this is the explanation I was given by an experienced painter..

Thanks Jimmy.

 

We let the paint dry in the Garage for a week, and then put the Car up the Sideway under the Tarp, and so far (since July), there's been No Scratches, Paint Bludge, or any sort of Damage done to the Car. :)

 

The Tarp does breathe Fresh Air to the Car, but we just wanted to Air out the Interior and the Roof.
