Hello everyone!

 

I'm Andrew and I've been a long long long time stalker of this website and I was thinking it's probably time to post up a few pics of my 55 that I'm currently "fixing up", It's nothing special but I love it and I hope some of you guys do as well!

 

Anyway here's a few things about it!

 

It's has a stock as a rock 4k with unknown K's

 

32/36 weber off an escort

 

Set of extractors and a 1 3/4 inch exhaust with a lot of holes (it is very loud)

 

Nice little deep dish sports wheel

 

Set of 13x7 spitfire wheels

 

And a few other bits a pieces here and there

 

Once I jump onto a computer I'll upload a few more pics here's one to get you guys started

What a multi coloured pos! :P

Found some more pictures

 

This was just after i picked her up! not a very pretty beast

 

At this point it had a stock 4k with a massive cam and a horrible weber it never went the best

I rocked it like this for a while till the 4k blew up and i changed to the one i have in it now.

 

The amount of different carbs i went through after putting in this motor is just silly,

I couldn't find one that worked I went through 2 standard carbs, 1 weber and a set of 3k-b carbs until i ended up with the weber i have now. its still a bit juicy but does the job!

 

This is a picture of the 3k-b twin carbs

 

When i got the corolla the rear guards were cut out really bad both side so myself and a couple of mates cut up some ra60 guards i had and welded the flairs onto the rear of the 55

 

 

This is what the rolla ended up looking like once the rear guards were fixed ( i call this v1)

 

I wasn't a massive fan of how it looked but i rocked it anyway

 

looked a little better with the spitties on it

 

anyway i'll post some more pics later managed to find a whole heap on my phone

What a multi coloured pos! :P

 

best multi coloured pos getting around :thumbsup:

Here is another picture as to what it looked like before the rear guards were fixed.

 

This is mid way through fixing the guards

 

and this is the other side

 

this is how they ended up haven't done anything to them since

So I'm currently part way through getting a 5k built for this beast and I thought I'd post a picture up of my rocker cover and timing case that I've polished up for said motor

Sneak peak of the head for my 5k :D

 

The block partly assembled and painted :)

Today I replaced the brakes and steering components

 

Here's a pic of my new rotors :)

The engine today being attached to the engine dyno for final assembly and run in!! :D

Man I love those deep dished spitfires.

Man I love those deep dished spitfires.

 

 

Cheers man! They are a nice looking wheel, I managed to find myself another set of them so now I've got 2 sets of 5 :D
