hello all,

 

this is a badge on my ke20 rolla, does every ke20 have this? what does it mean I think it has AMI writen on it..

"Lucky your with"......... oh hang thats AAMI.... sorry, my bad :(

AMI = Australian Motor Industries... the company that used to assemble Toyota's here in the 60/70/80s until toyota took over local production

Yeah that... I took that off my ex ke20 project car and smoothed it over... As well as the toyota badge on the back. Tip: Bog a 5 cent peice on the inside of badge screw holes and sand over the top then paint for a dodgy shave! Worked a treat for me.

 

I'm a debadger. Someone said to me once that there are two types of people: badgers and debadgers. Debadgers like baby smooth keyhole-less door panels and blank boot lids, badgers put "GT-R" on thier R33 GTS-t...

thats weird.

Yep I'm a de-badger for sure.

VN commo boot solenoids work well on ke20 bootlids if anyone is interested

I like my v6 badge :)

I must be a badger (haven't badged yet, but have badges waiting to be applied). However I do like the look of de-badged cars.

I'm a debadger - if only I could work out how to grind out or fill the corolla lettering in the hatch handle. I'll post a pic and be happy to take suggestions

um, bog it?

um, bog it?

yeah bog is an option but can you effectively bog plastic ? and then I'd have to sand it ALL smooth or it would look weird and having it smooth would look weird because all the other plastic bits are textured.

fixed it and all i used was a jack hammer and a chain saw :)

mmmm much better - although I think you need to get acquainted with the clone tool in Photoshop - he is far more gentle than a chainsaw.

cut and paste works fine for me lol

yeah, bog it and smooth it back, bog again if you need to

it's hard to sand bog on plastic because they both are different hardnesses, a power sander is too imprecise, you'd be best to use a sanding block and do it by hand
