Ke50 - Fresh Paint!

[Ke50]

dan - cheers mate, someone appreciates it :D

 

rolla- i don't need one anymore, i fitted a modified ke55 one. came out quite well :jamie:

[Rolla__Boy]

someone?? Excuse me...I already told you I love it, KE50's are the r0x0r

[Super Jamie]

Actually they are hardtops :D

 

no they're not. a coupe is a 2 door car with a fixed roof. a coupe is differentiated from a sedan in that a sedan has full height side glass to the top of the rear windscreen, a coupe's roofline and side glass taper down before the rear windscreen. look at a ke10 next to a ke15, or a ke20 next to a ke25 to see this in real life. notice 2 door ke30s are sedans.

 

the term hardtop originated from convertibles with a removable fixed roof, however the term also incorporates fixed roof cars with no window frames, which apparently makes them look like a convertible. whilst you can have a hardtop with a b pillar, most body styles in this category are pillarless hardtops (eg: impala, xp falcon). the point that differentiates a pillarless hardtop from a coupe is the lack of window surrounds on the doors of any hardtop

 

hence, the only hardtop in the corolla series is the ke35/55 pillarless shape. ke15s and 25s have windowframes on the door, and the aforementioned sloping roofline, so they are coupes

 

:jamie:

yep, as Jamie said. :D

[Ke50]

many the updates, well kind of.

 

front bumper is now onskies and came up nicely with a bit of autosol.

 

 

 

 

ditto for the rear, although the bracket and rubber ends needed to be changed to fit my car, as i used the bumper rolla_boy sent me, which was off of a ke55 i believe.

 

 

 

 

also fitted the chrome handles which rolla_boy also gave me, just gives it a nice touch i think, just waiting on teddy so i can put some door trims on. does anyone know if door trims are nessesary for a road worthy?

 

 

 

 

the rest of the interior, just a few things here and there id like to do, such as the blue led;s behind the gauges like xany's car, which will match the blue led on the gain control. also a few gauges in the space below the air con controls. ooo by the way, the toyota sign lights up when you turn the head lights/parkers on :D

I am sorta confused...I was refering to my car being a hard top...since it has no door frames...and says Hard top on the compliance plate...I guess it is one....I know there is KE30 2 door sedans, like Kangaroosa's one. I wasn't trying to be a smart ass by the way...I was just teasing you.

 

And Tom I know here in Canberra you have to have door trims on for rego inspections. They don't like the occupants being exposed to all the sharp "inner door" bits :(

[Super Jamie]

you have to have door trims just about everywhere. even unregistered racecars usually have to have them in scroutineering

[Ke50]

ok cool. ill just have to put different coloured ones on haha. until teddy has time to make some :D

[Rolla__Boy]

Make them yourself, they are the easiest thing in the world to do. Stretch, glue, cut, stretch, glue, cut. :D

[Ke50]

i guess, and i have to do the handles too. i should try it hay.

[Rolla__Boy]

Handles are the devil!!

 

I will get mine done professionally next time..they were a pain in the ass

[Ke50]

yes indeedy!

ill leave that for ted i think :( he seems to know what hes doing. well i hope :D

i wonder if i made a gear boot from the same material whether it would look any good (same material teddy used on his trims).

[Xany]

hopefully i'll have time to get those calipers off the car out the back this weekend.....i might be down on sunday if i can get them off. :D

[Ke50]
