the_ke55! Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 G'day all, I've recently brought a ke55 rolling shell off another rollaclub member, the shells in great nik, has a small rust spot on the back left door and a 1cm rust spot in the boot seal, easy fix :yes: it has abit of crash damage to the right hand rear quarter panel which the previous owner fixed up abit, so apart from that the bodies in awsome condition :) the plans for the car: well I'm gonna start by fixing the rust spots and start looking for front quarter panels which i hope maybe someone knows of someone selling them? plus i'll need a front end such as the lights which i wanna get from a ke30- the circle ones, grill, front and back bumpers bonet etc, if anyone knows someone selling these items it would be great help :) the engine- ill probly get a stock 4k or maybe a 4age depending on money at the time haha, fu*ckin money!! Interior will most likely all be stock And by the way I'm new to the corolla scene so ill most likely need abit of help along the way from some rollalclub members :yes: hope you enjoy my thread and whats to come :) my internets not lettin me upload pics so theres 2 that i could upload, so ill try the rest tomorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJT036 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks a bit of work ahead of you. Places for parts would be Pick-a-Part Campbellfield, and if you like a drive, Pick-a-Part Kilsyth. Andy's Autos in Campbellfield (Camp Road) is also a place that occasionally has some KE3x/KE5x corolla's for wrecking in there. I noticed you're in Sunbury. Can I ask which area? All the best with the Project. :) Josh :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-89 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) No worries :) Just google search pick a part Melbourne which will direct you to their parts list. From the drop down box select the make and model and it will upload a listing of Corollas at both yards starting at oldest from the top :y: I done the old trick of phoning up but as they're in the office they can't tell you whats been pulled off the cars.
