seabiscuit Posted January 1, 2010 Report Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I hope you're leaving the standard colour!!!1! My fave factory colour of all Corolla's :( Work is coming along very well :) EDIT: Love the "hoist!" reminds me of when I had to turn a wrecked car onto it's roof and all I had was a scissor jack with a max height of about 35cm and the wilderness around me!

1JZKe55 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 seabiscuit I hope you're leaving the standard colour!!!1! My fave factory colour of all Corolla's ;) yeah we will probably paint it the same colour but with a bit of pearl over the top just to give it that little bit Quote
1JZKe55 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 finished making the rest of the belly pans today didn't come up to bad just a little bit more welding to go and a clean up then ready for primer ;) Quote
1JZKe55 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Posted January 3, 2010 so what do you guys think of it....? ;) Quote
Doogs Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 Looks great man, you sure know your way around a welder and an angle grinder. Cute hoist lol, bet you it didn't set you back a couple of grand either ! Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 I think you're building up a true sleeper here. Nothing original left but the body shell... I like it ;) Quote
cuzzo Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 How much weight do you think it has gained due to the extra steel added? Quote
1JZKe55 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) How much weight do you think it has gained due to the extra steel added? I reckon it's about 60-80kg heaver than a standard body shell with the cage and the motor and box is good 50kg over a 4k i'm trying to keep it under 1100kg . So what is the weight of a ke55....?

1JZKe55 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 67Rolla-Ken Nothing original left but the body shell Oh if only you knew i don't think there is 1 part of the car that hasn't been modified in one way or another lol. I don't think i'll ever build anything like this again there's just to much work in it ;) Quote
