KeelzaMate Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 was this the one that was on ebay? Cheers, Keelan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Wow looks like you've got a bit of work to go but great start. Love the colour :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skd30 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 was this the one that was on ebay? Cheers, Keelan was wondering the same myself. looks pretty good in the pics. Any rust? chuck a magnet on the bottom of the rear quarter and front, if it don't stick well compared to a door or somewhere you know has no rust/bog then you'll know if its been bogged a lot or not. Might be worth checking before you spend a shitload on a conversion, also have a good poke around with a screw drive on the chassis to see if its rusty ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolla-king Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 So just thought id update everyone, the rolla now has glass (complete with RC sticker!) and locks :P All i need now is some weatherstrips for the doors and she will be water tight. Still looking for an engine though, if anyone has any suggestions of what i should put in it (with minimal modification to car) please let me know?

rolla-king Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Another update on the corolla. Since last update i have bought an engine!!! (thanks rob) Its a twin carby 5K, it was on rollaclub so I'm sure most of you have seen it. I have also found myself a steering wheel and a dash pad. I have started to cut out my door trims and back shelf, they are a light cream colour. Please give me your feed back and comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
