Tally

Cheers for that matt! Appreciate it! Funny enough my dad mentioned the waterproof bit to me but he said it'll be ok.

now you tell me haha, shoulda mentioned to ya on the phone, :) what type do you have? haha thanks its currently in its 'trimmed down' period... I'm going to Melbourne over Easter so I'm trying my best to get it all rubbed down and ready for paint when I get back :D

KE25's represent! good to hear man.

Thanks matt yea nah he told me to seal em with sikaflex so just doing it that way. I ended up getting Sikaflex 252 instead of the automotive 227 one. Its more heat resistant so better for engine bays. Thanks to Mick. Dad got the bonnet, roof, boot lid and drivers rear quarter rubbed down last night, few low spots but we will touch em up so should be sweeeeeetttt. can't wait.

Why's that? My dad's painted many cars over the years and this is how he told me to do it, also my uncle is a panel beater and ive watched him wet rub like this many times... I'm using 600 wet as that is good for painting acrylic. That's just what ive learnt so far as this whole build up is a learning experience for me :)

Thanks ryan! motor traders right? How do I get to said work place? lol! How much for a tube?

Hey guys Well I'm currently 60% through blocking the engine bay down. Firewall was a real headache haha but I got through it. I'm going to get some automotive sealer to seal up all the gaps in the engine bay, been a bit paranoid and don't want the engine bay to look tacky. So I'm going to track down some of this Sikaflex automotive sealer and seal up all the gaps in the engine bay so no water can get in and no rust can form :) or if anyone can recommend another product that would be good :) yep thats me in the engine bay :)

sometimes you just need some motivation ;) KE20 with your wheels man, look how wild it could look :lol:

ok so today did a lot of work. Finished off repairing the passenger door and got it in primer/hi-fill. And started blocking down the car getting it nice and smooth. This is the time where I can get the shape and lines of the car perfect and fix any places ive missed etc etc so ill be spending a bit of time getting it right. Aim now is to have it ready for paint next Friday, see what happens. Thinking White with Red interior Frank KE10 styles ;)

car looks tough with the convo's!!!!

haha yea I'm most likely painting it white paint stripped the door and started metal finishing it tonight, shouldn't take too long to repair and get it in hifill. Then ready to block the car down, can't wait. Was also thinking today about when I get to the mechanical side of things. I'm just gonna keep the 4K stock but with a nice exhaust system while I gather parts for an engine conversion later on.

Direct bolt into KE2#???? so bolts to crossmeber and castor rods and sway bar bolt up no mods??? What ball joint do MX62 use?? KE70/AE86 one BJ145? Dave at A.J.P.S is a distributor for cusco who make #E2# camber tops: http://www.ajps.com.au/news/cusco_distributor.asp

Check out this 12A KE25 and check out his tunnel mods, nothing to hard to do: http://www.nsdperformance.com/index.php/ga...-12a-turbo-ke25

nah got it for 50, i didnt hear back from you man, so i assumed u didnt want to part with it, anyways its all good, got a door at least 3 on one side and 4 on the other, also at the top of the door they are braised with brass from factory so we grinded them back heated them up and tapped the frame out...

Thanks guys appreciate it. Ok so today's effort. Got home from tafe around quarter to 4 and went straight into the shed and didn't get out till 10 lol Picked up a door of sleish on Sunday, had minimal rust but it did have shit loads of dents, but id prefer dents over rust any day. So as it was a KE20 door the window frame was too tall so unpicked it and welded in my KE25 one. here is the results of tonight's efforts, haven't lined it up 100% yet but all seems to be spot on so I'm real happy. also ive got these rims for it, they are 13" and 4X110 Formula 1 JDM wheels, very lightweight, similar to Watanabe or Superlight style. I wont be needing them as I am going 4X114.3 so if anyone is interested drop me an offer.

Hey man what brake master cylinder are you using for your brake upgrade. Ive got FC calipers as well and will be doing the same conversion soon.

ok so picked up a new passenger door yesterday. 99% rust free so pretty happy about that. Thing is its a KE20 door and as everyone knows KE20 window frame is higher by 2cm. So we going to unpick it and swap my KE25 one over into it. Way easier then cutting out rust sections and fixing me KE25 door, pics in due time and you'll understand LOL Colour has been chosen = White, but I'm still yet to decide what type of white, I do want to stick to a Toyota white though so if anyone has some colour codes with pics please post >|

Good to hear mate. sure looks like a dodge conversion. Will be wild, another rota-rolla in SA! haha whats deal with the habib part lol

plenty here in Adelaide :jamie:

mate its nothing just by a wrecked out doner car thats 5speed.. and actually it does make your car quicker as the auto sucks up plenty of power. When I hopped into my ke70 after doing the conversion it felt like a whole new car!

Pictures of me guards & bonnet in primer: now just got doors left to do. will get right one done but waiting on a rust-free passenger side one as mine has rust all underneath it :no2:

:( :D :D :bash:

yea nah staying a flat colour. here are some of my favorite pics of the shape corolla in some colours that look great.

Today I got the front guards and bonnet repaired. Cut out rust and replaced with new metal. Body filled them lightly, sanded them and got them in a couple coats of hifill and guidecoat. no pictures tonight but will get some tomorrow (monday) Ive ditched the mustard colour and am thinking white or orange, leaning towards white...

Love the convo pros! Looks rad!
