Queen20v

Good to see the pano again Will. Our little bro, Perry drove the 20 the other day. Hoping we've converted him to rollas. He loved it. No progress on B2 yet but looking forward to seeing the stockies with whitewalls on your van. :)

We don't get a lot of attention from young'uns in the 20 but the oldies love them. I've been stuck talking for ages with old codgers who say the 20 brings back memories for them. One middle aged couple said they felt "affection" for it because it was like their first car. Hah hah The 25 on the other hand gets many a look. Love it when we pass rotors and they break their necks looking because half of them don't know what they're looking at. Must say, I'd like an rx3 but the tidy 25s are few and far between. Makes for an eye-catching ride at a fraction of the price.

Love your work. This rolla is going to be the hottest thing out when you're done! :)

Why do I never see you at the village?? Do you still work up there?

Quick update... Got that pedal box for you Troy. We bought a 4 speed for the 25 not long ago but have now found a 5er to run instead so Punchy, you have first option to buy the gbox if you're still interested. Thought we'd do a little detailing so the 3k is out for a polish. Won't be fitting the 4age anytime soon as the original motor's only done low kms and runs sweet. :D

I don't get time for the forum for a couple of weeks and come back to THIS!! Troy, it looks awesome. Where did you get that grill. Something tells me you got it for a good price too. Any chance you can help me get a set of those superlights? :D

Hmmmm. thanks for the feedback. Cheers for giving me some examples via Photoshop too Troy ;) I kinda like gold centres for the 25. Need some better wheels though. Maybe panasports or technophantoms with gold centres and polished lip. Love the whitewalls too! I hate the thought of hacking the guards up but it really does need bolt ons and a tonne of peelback over 8 inches of rim. How hot would that look! Will, poor B2 is still sitting. Undercover of course so she's safe and dry. The panels are here ready to be prepped. We've just been so busy. I might get a chance to give her some loving next week. :hmm: Sure hope so. Manual gbox for the 25 next week also. It's all clean and painted now so will post photos asap. Just a 4 speed but we pick up the 4age within the fortnight. That'll be coupled with a t50 as soon as I get my hands on one. The conversion will be a bit of a slow one because we'd like to milk it a little for some extra kw and it's gotta be eye candy under that bonnet too. Will keep the thread updated with pics.

Love these panos. Can't wait to see how yours turns out. Gun metal grey would be awesome or a dark shade of blue. Good to see another enthusiast doing the hard yards to get it looking great.

The wheels look awesome. Go with option 2 or 4 and sell them to me. Lol. Then I can convince the other half not to go with bolt ons. Creeps me out thinking of hacking up my guards. :jamie: On the other hand, done right, it would be awesome. Have you ever been down to Buddy Parts? Last time I was down there he had some awesome Panasports in 8's or 8.5. Wish I'd picked them up.

Just gotta say that your car is even better in the flesh! I know that photos make our cars look tidier but they don't capture the full effect of all the different things each of us do with our rollas. I always love seeing them in person. Love those wheels from Nickyboy too. Hubby was very impressed with your Dynaudios (spelling?).

Wow, that is some serious talent!! Yep, mine is either the 400D or 450D. I'd love some tips. Sure reckon you should get back into it. Love the photos of Sam too.

You obviously set your camera to manual? Do you ever find that the focus is really touchy? I've always left mine on auto focus because I'm never very confident with it. Hmmm, photos were taken in a fave spot of mine. When we organise the cruise we'll all go there and get some pics. I reckon you'll love the place! I ran out of ideas but there's a whole lot of scope for creativity.

Got the ke25 registered again and took it out for some photos today. First time I've really done a photoshoot with it. I've adjusted the exposure in a few of the pics but nothing else. Hope you like them. (Troy, help me with some technique here!)

Phwoar! Awesome photo of my beast. Wish I had your talent.

We'll be there for the drive in too. If I had more time this evening I would've loved to go to the cruise. Might make it. Mitch, Benzo, Philbey, Will... c'mon!

Ben, if you want a hand actually getting it over the pits, sing out. I've taken a mate's in for him before and we got it across easy as. Had a nice chat to the mechanic and all. ;) Took a rag with me to wipe down the site of the oil leak on that particular car. Meant that I could drive it there, give it a quick once over and voila, neat as a pin. You'll want to make sure your horn works. What brakes have you got on there? Why do you need stockies? As long as they're upgrades and in good working order, you won't have any trouble. Also make sure your seat belts retract properly and your indicators, brake lights, etc all work. They'll check track width too so you might be better off with stockie wheels on the day. Sucks. :D

Well that sounds like a possibility then. Am heading down towards Morphettville now so will see how I go for the T4 cruise later on. Otherwise, is anyone free on Monday? Oakbank might be a goer. If not, I'll get my act together and organise something well in advance. I've got your number Troy. Anyone else who's heading to T4 today, flick me a text on 0406421293 and I'll get back to you. Thanks guys.

Yeah cheers for that Mystik. Sorry for the ignorance but who exactly are T4? I did see that thread. Just thought some of the ke2# owners might feel like doing something a little more local. Adelaide hills sort of thing. Are there many turning up to tomorrows cruise?

Went for a bit of a drive today. Lobethal through to Oakbank and on to Hahndorf. Was a pearler day for it. Thought a few people might be doing the same tomorrow or Monday even. Would love to cruise with a group of peanuts/mangos. :dance:

Spotted a bronze ke70 at BP Golden Grove the other night. Low as with whitewalls and double black stripes along the body. Looked sweet.

We always replace the leads, dizzy cap, rotor button and often sparkies too on a new car just to make sure we give them the best chance to run well from the very beginning. Maybe give that a go. :bash:

Ohhhh, Yellake20 looks like B2! Neat 20 you've got there. So c'mon, what're your plans? :wink:

Major aircon envy from me :) Lol, awesome 25 you've got there!

Seeing what you're doing here is making me want to get out there and do the same with mine. Looks like you're doing a great job. Imagine how proud you'll be when she's finished!
