Oh-KE Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Just a small update to tickle your senses with.. Decided that the twin headlights I saw the other day at UPI on an old hilux (I think), would go nicely on the 38. So today I went and bought them after making sure they measured up alright. Started test fitting them today, looks like they wont be to hard to fit but the hard part will be the grill. I have a plan for that though :P.... The outer lights are already functional, they have high beam and low beam. Not sure about the inner lights I think they might only be high beam but I will have to wire them up somehow...

Nostalgia Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I love your 38 mate. Can't wait to see her finished! I'm on the hunt for a ke and seriously considering a wagon like this.. Quiet, sunny days on a quiet beach road, hop in the back and have a snooze under those venetians.. Only thing is I'd prefer stockies with whitewalls but that's just me :P Cheers, Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJT036 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 That sucks to hear Chris. Maybe he was just Jealous because he has to Drive a Slow and Gay Cop Car everyday, and you drive an AWESOME Corolla Wags. :) But yeah, Check all your Lights, the Oil, and Other Fidley Bits that they love to pick-up on.

Oh-KE Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Not looking good for this car at the moment. Basically haven't done much work on it and not sure it's worth it.... Upon closer inspection I'm confident that it won't pass the inspection due to things like front windscreen is not great, some rubbers are a bit dodgy, engine mounts possibly gone, wiper motor not working properly, front wheel bearings, possibly brakes not good enough, no heater or AC (not sure if this matters buts its annoying), steering column doesn't hold key in etc etc etc... and basically have no money at the moment, haven't even payed off the speeding fine yet! This is either going to be a LONG term project or sell it cheap, get it out of my face (sounds better and better every time i look at it, just makes me grrrr) or part it out and scrap it. Might still take it through regency pretty much as it is just to see what the list is like and whether i'll keep it or not. So over it.....
