Red Velvet cake like i used on my trailer for the panno, with a white roof, a chrome or galvanized roof rack and silver pin stripe like the hardtops had.

Cranking Issues - Fresh Built 5k
KE30_KE35_KE55 replied to philbey's topic in KExx Corolla Discussion
5K's had reduction starter motors fitted to them. the following can cause voltage drop, small leads, bad earths, even dirty battery terminals -
When are all of Your new panels going to be fitted to the car? I must try and make it to UPI to check it out. :y:
-
Jack it up and block it up so it is safe. give the tyre a good kick at top and bottom, if to tight continue with the mallet. if still too tight use a jack wedge or port a power between the chassis and wheel and push off
-
Was it a white roof you saw?. they use to do that a lot on 60's 70's have white roofs it actually makes the cars interior cooler in summer.
-
I am not usually a big fan of brown but I love it :y: that is one clean car.
-
Great idea :y: . I like vinyl roofs that are in good condition. it is something different that you don't see much any more.
-
I Know panel vans have heavier springs but I also fitted pump up shocks to my ke30 rolla with a tow bar it helps. I have seen 2.5 tonne pulled successfully behind a Datsun 1200 wagon with a 1.6 l. Add a brake controller as well and you are in business.

I Know that the side vents are supposed to be for air exiting the cabin, I have wondered if in a massive downpour if some water may enter the boot.
-
The seats look great!! , being a work horse will you be fitting a tow bar?
-
I agree with you about the vents leaking, also the taillights can leak and cause rust.
-
this will make a tidy little project most 35's that i have looked at are full of rust, this one looks quiet tidy. I look forward to watching the progress.
-
All most ready for the great ocean road cruise :y: Let me know if SA brake have any trouble with the brakes.
-
That is the way a little bit at a time and you will soon be painting the final coat,
-
This hard top is cleaning up nice. :y: how long before you get your license?
-
I am Very glad to see that you finally renamed the car. Good work with the car alarm also,
-
Do you have a source of new panels for Ke30 55 ? reason I ask is I would like a few spares.
-
I know how these projects can blow out of budget. you now have a tidy little corolla mover . but it would drive Me nuts having to drive the truck up the ramps each time to load or unload, could you make longer ramps.
-
It must be there for an accessory like the blanks where cassette players are, maybe some thing like a wiper delay, light or brake controller. I will copy some of your accessory's fitted above for mine.
-
The wheels look great, I like the look of accessory's of the era, wheels, steering wheels, wind deflectors etc, I have a set of mags the same put away as-well.
-
Finlay got my calender Good work and thanks to all involved. :y:
-
does anyone know what purpose that slot is for on a KE 3X 5X ? I would hit the wreckers and find one that will fit, I have been eying off a few universal cup holders off earthmoving equipment that would be very functional in a car.
-
I hate painting and panel beating as-well, Be disciplined and work at least 1 hour a day after work. try to do a small area at a time and undercoat as you go. the vehicle will soon be painted.
-
interesting idea using alloy ramps and tray, what sort of speed do you get out of the truck loaded? I have just done the exact opposite sold my truck and built a car trailer.
-
I had a similar experience a few years back, with a car in bare metal, I had a small fire in the shed and put it out with a dry chemical fire extinguisher, it contained a wetting agent and the next day the car was rusty brown so I had to start again. I now only keep a water & co2 extinguisher.
