My Ke11

[jamesrolla]

this is my 1970 ke11

bought it about 12 months ago,

when i first bought it, it was stock and had the 12" stellies and was one owner with its origional 3k motor and weak 4 speed

i left it standard for about 4 months and drove it around but got sick of how slow and stock it was

so first i put 13x6 mags on it

heres a pic

then i decided a 4kc motor and 5 speed gear box would make it go better so we fitted one and now it goes way better and i realised that the drums were a little under sized so i fitted ke38 discs on the front

it then had a respray in the origional whate and all dents were removed and in the process no rust was found at all

combining teddys boot tutorial and makeing up my own bits i have fully retrimmed the boot and parcell shelf my self and fitted a cd player and new speakers

latley i have fitted a tacho and a crochaed rug of the back seat for more sleeper styling

here is some pics of the rug

then i aquired a set of 13x5.5 mazda rx4 stellies and did a diff conversion to a stronger ke20 one because i was up to my 3rd ke10 diff. i started with quiet ones and then they all got noisey and eventually went crunch (ke10 diffs don't like racing or motorkana's)

the only problem with these diffs is the width so now i have to lip the inner gaurds

today i put an old RAC badge on the grill to make it look even more granny spec, i polished all the chrome again and fixed the dash using another tutorial combined with my own methods and am getting a dash mat and i got new carpet last wednesday

and i got new rego plates asweel

so look out for me on tassie streets and at the next south khanacross

damn, that's a really nice corolla :P

 

I noticed that you have the pointy number plate screws on the rear of your ke11, I thought about getting a set for my car but didnt in the end :P

[jamesrolla]

yeah i found them on a bike that my uncle gave me, they are kinda like a nut cover but they fitted on so they stayed, plus i love chrome

 

cheers james

i found a set on ebay by accident, thought about it, and decided I should spend my money on something better that pointy screws that could impale someone :P

man i like those jellybeans in the first one, not bad i do say so myself, i think u should drop it on its guts like my T-18 :P,

 

not bad though will have to meet up with u when I'm down hobart way one day :P

 

Cheers Sean

looks very tidy, the boot is awesome

[jamesrolla]

hi

 

roids70: i want to dump it on it arse like fayts car but i can't work out a way of doing it without resetting the transverse leaf in the front

yeah we should have a hobart cruise like you launnie guys do

 

evil twin: the boot took me about 4 hours and i just used a roll of carpet i got from a carpet shop for $6

i got a set of splits and put them in the parcell shelf and put the splitter boxes in the boot because they looked cool

and i got the big toyota badge from the tip shop for 50 cents

 

cheers james

Wuz up mate ! That's a clean KE11 ! You mention that the car was standard. I own a KE11 as well but it came with the toyoglide transmission. Where could I find that clutch pump and cylinnder.[

very nice job on the boot I'm looking to do something very simmilar on my ke11. Mine is very stock standard still with original 1166cc engine and 4 speed box only thing changed on it is the chev jelly beans lol

[Fayt]

wow counc, ur car is nice!!

[jamesrolla]

hi every 1

 

sorry carlitos i don't know were u could get one,

 

counc ur car looks very neat and i have the same mags as urs as burnout tyres on the back of my ke11 but they wont fit on the front because my brakes are to big

 

cheers james

[Tiger]

Done well, the both of you.

 

Sweet rides :P

[Carlitos]

Hey , thanks for the complaiments fellas ! I'm going to starting working on the front suspension and brakes shortly. I've decided to swap the struts for 81 Toyota Starlet struts and use a coil over suspension with slotted disc brakes. I hope that this swap turns out good it's kinda of expensive. So, are there any KE10 or KE11 with a rotary swap in on this forum ?

[disarm]

Very nice example! I'm very jelous!

love the rims Carlitos :P are they 15's?
