yeah if i can get my hands on part numbers i could probably get in any part they are still making new aftermarket overseas, its not the best quality but shits its better than the non existant bits we have available atm, unless you like mr opianas prices :S

I'm not sure if I have the front end caps spare, I know I have the pair I need and a slanty pair, but no spare fronts, Ill have a look though. I might have a spare rear pair come to think of it from a ke70 pano chrome bumper. Does that help anyone?

all my end caps are sweet I just need the metal parts of the bars.... I have panel van ones sorted but not sure how well they will fit up. if they aren't the same ill source some originals. body wise apart from the colour I'm keeping it as original as possible. speaking of which I've decided on HSV cherry black, or possibly a similar metallic color that comes on cx7s.

Opinions?

oh and jeep and corona are sold pending trade... for another corolla.... watch this space.

mmm i have a pano with a bar on it, has been painted black. no idea what its like underneath.

i might look and check the end caps, see if they suit the bar ive got.

ill have to do some searching and work out whats what, ive never looked into them cause i never planned on getting chrome bars :lolcry:

yeah i know right? I just planned on cleaning mine up but theyre too far gone.

 

ill see how panno ones fit up on my car and if you want i can probably come down one day and see how the panno bars fit on yours too

So I'm 80% sure through our suppliers at work i can supply jdm parts at much cheaper prices tham certain suppliers peddling bits at far inflated prices to what the parts are actually worth

Hahaha by any chance are you talking about some suppliers from asian countrys that want top dollar for shit parts?

But keep us informed mate , keeeeeen

interested, full seal kit for a 2 door ke70 (te72) would be rather handy ;)

sorry can't get seal kits, ebay should be pretty cheap for them though.

 

So I have come to a small fork in the road... The only way I can get ahold of the bits I need is by giving them photos of the car and a chasis number. Sorry guys I won't be able to go ordering too many bits for peeps.

 

loveke70 I should likely be able to sort you out with what you need as you have a chasis number I can work off.

yes yes i do

 

maybe you could PM me? what you can supply etc

 

seal kits off ebay, as you said, shitty malaysian etc copies, made with genuine moulds but terrible materials, and I'm yet to see the 2 door rear quarter window seals.

for what its worth the stuff i can get is similarly low quality stuff out of taiwan/china but its better than nothing, these parts havent existed for a very long time as a genuine item.

Righto so its been a fairly long time so here goes.

 

Been a lot going on in my life since my last post in here, but i still have the old DX!

 

Ive even been doing stuff with it.

 

firstly My partner Bec and i moved into a New house. With a HUGE shed, heres a pic of becs vitara parked in there when we first moved in.

 

 

then i filled it with cars and stuff

 

 

then we got drunk in it

 

 

somewhere in there i found the time to start stripping the DX for the next round of things I'm doing to it.

 

also can mods move this to the ke70 rides section?

Did a but more on her this evening, the only thing left on the shell now is a boot lid, the fuel and brake lines running underneath and the fuel tank. Need to find a way of organising everything atm its all just a mess on the floor lol.
