79corollagun Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Well this is my completed ke55. I fixed all the rust and done all the body work in about 10 hours. It was pretty bad aswell. The bonnett and front guard were completely fcked so i replaced them with rust free ones. I then painted it with clear over base 2 pack paint, which was sprayed by me in the booth at work. i have replaced the motor with another 4k because my original motor had over 700 000 kms on it and the odometer didnt work lol. My newer motor has 179000 on it so I'm laughing. i picked this car up for $600 with rego and i have probably spent about $1500 on it. it just passed a pink slip yesterday and i am going for rego sometime soon. What does everyone think and what can i do to make it look better? Edited August 14, 2010 by 79corollagun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJT036 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 700,000kms? Wow. That's a really Nice Ke55 you have there. All the best with it. Josh :laff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-KE Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 What does everyone think and what can i do to make it look better? You have done a great job so far! Things which would make it look better in my opinion would be things like full chrome bumpers from a ke30. Maybe look into some nice wheels. The thin type of ke55 chrome strip for the bonnet maybe... But mostly the wheels. Not really a fan of those ones.... But seriously looking good so far!! :laff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
