My Ke55 (heaps Of Pix)

[ROLLLA]

Hey all I'm just new to this site but i just wanna show yas a few pix of my rolla.

 

Previously i bought a blue KE55 for $650 with 12mths reg and 4 brand new tires. This car ended up gettin a bit battered so i decided to find myself another 55.

I came across this yellow one for $200 but the head gasket was gone and it was auto :cool:

I transferred the engine and box over, doing the manual conversion in my driveway hehe

i couldnt pass it up tho cos it was pretty clean.

 

Ok first things first i had to get rid of those ugly bumpers and put KE30 full chromies on hehe. ($20 each) I also bought brand new headlights and sprayed the rims gloss black. Afew touch ups were done 2 the body taking out old bumper holes and minor rust.

 

Then came the interior. The dash in this one had not 1 crack and was pretty clean, I just replaced the brown carpet with the carpet from my old 55, Sprayed the doortrims with vinal charcoal paint. The console was a spare 1 i had lying around from my old integra and yes it has 2 cup holders :jamie: The heater and aircon controls were moved below in the console and hole was there for the head unit.

 

Next i sprayed gloss black around the windows and found a set of 15in concept 5's for $250. LOL theyre worth more than the car. The front was also chopped a few coils to sit sexyer and since then the back has been lowered but don't have any pix yet

soon I'm going to start rubbing back the paint and I'm going to spray the car myself (with the help of my beater mate) Ill most likely be going BA XR6 Yellow.

 

Hope ya all enjoy

 

Cheers Pat

where did you get the gear boot from? i know it's a preety strange thing to ask but it looks so damn nice, also the gear knob it's self, thanks man!!

[Guest Brad]

[ROLLLA]

The gear boot and console are from a 94 integra. I had a spare 1 at home cos i also own a integra thats been turbocharged. The gearstick i bought at autobarn years ago, It was actually green but i sanded the green off lol

[JiP]

WoW, Thats the orange that i'm going :hammer:

 

Great colour. Would look great!!

[JiP]

I really like your headlights. they look so clear. Are those available in round?? The more i see the way yours look, the more i want to convert my car to a square healight model.

 

Has anyone seen a quare headlight 30 with a 30 bonnet??
