Thanks Phil, looking forward to catching with you guys too.

 

 

 

Hi guys, its been a while since i updated my thread as i havent done much to the rolla. I started collecting all my suspension bits and getting them ready for paint and zinc platting. Ill have more pics soon but here are a few teasers.

Are you using the mesh as light weight re inforcement?

yeah wanted to reinforce the control arms to help stop them flexing and had the mesh at work which is quite thick, also looks better too.

Here are a few more recent pics of bits I'm getting ready to install in my rolla.

Looking good Mick. Colour is nice. Metallic?

 

Did you sandblast the crossmember and swaybar bracket? Come up clean!

looking good man, but i think theres a bit too much yellow, just my opinion.

but your doing great work

Thanks Adam, its a metalic gun metal grey i had lying around at work. I sanded all the bits back with a sea weed wheel and elbow grease, took frickn ages. Looking forward to installing it all in the car !

Hi guys, bit of an update on my Rolla.I bought a driving, slightly damaged Honda S2000 to strip and donate its motor for my engine conversion into my Ke30. Plans are to fit F20C motor and 6 speed gearbox, factory computer, instrument cluster and other small bits including seats retrimmed to suit if possible, here are a few pics, Ill keep you guys posted as it happens. Enjoy !

Mate, that makes me so happy, I can't wait to see this happen. F20 has always been high on my list of conversion favourites in oldskool toyotas.

 

Nice work.

Thanks Phil, looking forward to stripping the S2000 and collecting all the bits i need to do the conversion as i don't want to have the ke30 off the road for too long. Should be good once its all done !

So this will be street legal?
