I'll have to meet up with you and your old man's rides and we can take some photos one day!

If were gonna do that one day, We'll have to TOW my Ke36, and plus, it's still looking like a Bomb. :locked: I'm still waiting to save up the $$$ to Respray mine, and so far there's only $9.00 in my Wallet. :n:

 

The only Corolla we have that would go A to B would be Dad's Ke35. It still yet needs to go through what you have just done recently. He still needs to replace some things then he'll go to a RWC Place to check what he needs.

 

Anyways..... Did you end up getting this Rocket Rego'ed??

 

Cheers,

Josh :cool:

Hey guys more fantastic news! Got rego and insurance today! She's ready to roll (excuse the pun). And yes dF this will be coming on friday but my other rolla is working for now as well. Thanks Doogs this has been suprisingly smooth sailing (mostly).

 

Here are some pics from today.

Now to enjoy it for a little while :locked:

Congratulations on getting the car registered Matt, I like satin blacked brake components as its looks very neat. Now what exactly is the meaning behind the new plates? Would like to see this car or both in the flesh as they are very nice examples of a ke30 and 55. Now are you still after a good condition dash pad?

I assume GRN 055 is for Granny/Grandma KE55. Nice choice Matt, it is subtle but people can still know what you are on about.

Good point Doogs, I wasnt aware of that. One for the enthusiasts to know!

Haha spot on doogs. Granny '55 is her name. Oh and Jip it's the old man's garage but it's big enough to fit most of our cars :locked:

 

Just got back now from driving GRN-055 all night and she ran perfectly without even one hiccup. Mighty impressed i must say.

 

Take it easy all.

Matt you do a damned impressive job of detailing up a car.

 

Could do with your skills while I am putting my Celica back together. I suspect as much as anything its patience that is required, which makes it all the more impressive.

 

Great job and looking forward to seeing it tomorrow night.

 

ps. www.autocables.com.au is in Greensborogh and do venetians - no listing for a KE35 specifically, but they might have something since they list the "fully imported" model separately.

Thanks Adam. You'll get to see the beast tomorrow night for sure. As for when you are putting the celica back together just give us a yell and i'll lend a hand no troubles. Thanks for the link i'll have to go and suss them out.

 

Matt.

I so want your garage dude!

For sure...I think anyone would want that garage! :locked:

This car is truly awesome. I saw no less than 4 cop cars on the way home just now and even with a divisional van following me at 5km/h over the limit it decided to overtake me and pull over the magna in front! If i was in either of my other cars (both modified) i would have been pulled over every single time. Awesome..

 

 

Here are two happy snaps from late this arvo.

Top Marks on the Progress so far. Well Done ;)

Hey Josh, no updates thus far but i have scored a set of almost overrated rear seats for her (thanks to Dave - TE278U) and added fluffy dice and a Japanese Automobile Federation sticker on the back windscreen. Pics to follow soon mate.

 

Matt.
