colonel Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi Guys, My name's Chris. I live in Epping and own a 79 KE55s. I called it colonel mustard but i've noticed somebody else calling theirs by the same name (I'll just shorten it to the Colonel) I'm currently using it as a daily driver although I have plans for it (as I'm sure alot of you have for your own corollas). I have always loved the shape and as of approx six months ago I finally own one. Its just a stocker running a 4k-c with a k40 box. have made a few little tweaks so far like head unit, parcel tray, removed clock from dash and replaced with a tacho. steering wheel, halogen H4 headlights and a pair of spotlights. There will be plenty to follow as soon as i get another daily driver. Cheers. P.S. Great forum, very informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfunkt Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 still kinda new, but more importantly, new car. Barry Crocker is the newest edition to the family. He's yellow, rusting out along the rear wheel arches, along the roof sill, the passenger side of the rear windshield, and there's a hole immediately behind the right rear wheel arch (curse toyota's for letting water in through the bottom corners of their rear windshield), the interior belonged to a dog (he was white, fluffy and barked at me alot) so it's in need of replacing and it had a rear louvre which i might be re-installing if i can be bothered remounting the points on the rear windshield. I havn't yet got a roadworthy, i need to get the rust fixed, a new drivers seat and seatbelt (thanks doggie), the steering column moves up and down a bit, and the stupid box surrounding the steering column rotates a bit...but hopefully it'll be on the road by friday and all for less than $2000. dfunkt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Welcome to the club Garth! A couple of nice cars you have there mate, looks like a stupidly good find! I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for something of the like! Anyway, hope you find Rollaclub as fun and friendly as I do, you will no doubt find most of the info you need on here and if you don't feel free to ask away! Welcome again and hope to see you at an upcoming Vic event. Jarrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webers4x48 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 welcome garth. All I can say is that your one very lucky person to own 2 cars that are nearly identical to what I have owned before. The KE20 is exactly the same but I had a blue KE17 not a red KE15. I'm Green with envy ;) cause out of all my corollas I've owned, those 2 I wish I had have kept :bash: Oh well :sigh: Welcome again n I hope to see these beauties out n about some day :y: Leeroy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey all, I'm Dougal, a 16yo from the eastern suburbs of melbourne. I don't have my rolla yet, but i will be buying a ke20 in the next few months (when i have the dough). I will be working up the 3k with hot cams, extractors, webers, harmonic balancing for the internals and maybe oversize pistons. It will basically be a cool first car for me, and hopefully i will learn a lot from the process, i will put up some pics when i get it. cyas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you've got your head on straight for your choice in what vehicle to choose. I've had a couple of those and they are alot of fun. Glad to see that you are choosing The Best Carbies on the planet (I'm not biased...hehe). Hope to see you on some cruises in the future.

dfunkt Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) It's great too see so many new faces with old rolla's... even better to know that they aren't being sold to scrapyards and destroyed! speaking of which, my 20 is a few steps closer to owning its place on the road... it's mechanically sound now, no leaks anymore. still needs 2 tyres and wheel alignment and gotta hook the heater up too (silly people replaced the water pump and didn't bother about the heater) today's another day i'm spending cleaning her up, windows and interior again, there's a lovely film of grease on the inside of my windscreen courtesy of the mechanics and subzero temperatures in the west :( WEBERS: i think i speak for everyone here, you need to get yourself an old rolla again :D drop the VH idea (i know you won't), find a nice old sprinter, bolt on your webers and away you go :D :) :D we know you want to, and you do too...
