New wheels arrived. lips were overhauled on Tuesday, could not be happier with the results.

 

Now prepping for polish and paint. Extremely happy with the test fit, may have to run a 175/60 just to get it under the guard :dance:

The orange in the picture, same as the front's. It's like a pale orange in real life. They should look trick with the lips polished to a mirror finish

polish work done, just needs paint and tyres put on now :dance:

Almost done, Just bolts and tyres to go on tomorrow and the leading edge to be sanded off. Can't wait

looking good mate.

can't wait to see them on

No sun to show how epic the wheels are!

I love this car. makes me want a ke55 sedan

Sad news dudes, Car was defected on Wednesday night. As a result it will be put into storage for a year or two. Hopefully it will return with rebuild and engine upgrade.

well thats not good at all Hayden

 

pull it out for the cruise soon

No can do Carlos... Rego and insurance have been cashed in. The cops raped us pretty good. :(

Sooooo um kinda a little update.

 

Sold off many parts of the car in the mindset that I was selling the whole thing. The buyer didn't show and I was left with pretty much a stock car and cash money.

 

 

So on the weekend i went and purchased:

 

16v small port

t50

clutch

x-members

cables

tail shaft to suit

loom and ecu (on the way)

Mig welder

grinder

wire wheels

sheet metal

 

With that in mind you can kinda guess where I'm going. I'm looking forward to the rebuild, re-rego and the feeling of driving a corolla of my own again.

 

Pics are boring so I'm just going to write very long paragraphs from now on

Progress is slow in the build. I've been purchasing parts as i go and almost have the full list.

 

Need:

metal engine mount brackets (rwd)

alternator

surge tank

gearbox adapter plate

loom

 

Then it's ready to be put in :dance:

 

I also cracked out the welder last weekend to have a go at repairing some rust. I'm not the best welder and that showed in my work. Hopefully i'll be getting a helping hand by some mates who are planning on teaching me right, so i can do it myself.

 

Those who have me on facebook will have seen the pictures :wink:

Good work, practise makes perfect my friend :wink: , are you useing? a gas or gasless mig?
