  1. Cheers for the feedback guys. Hah, Will, there is no way I'm parting with B2. She's part of the family now. I'm not going to spend a lot on this baby as she's my daily that will have to wait a few years for resto. B2 on the other hand will hopefully get the royal treatment much sooner than that. :) Took Joansy for a wash yesterday. Want to clean the interior today. Cracked dash needs some attention. Threw the covers in the bin. :( I couldn't take a decent photo of how filthy the engine bay was because the sun was so bright. Filth everywhere. The radiator is totally stuffed. Apparently all the grime is copper. Cooling her off. Mine have all ended up having the cream interior. Love that. Hubby at the wheel. He likes to pretend it's "ours" Lol. Notice the RAA badge we found. Very nanna-spec crochet blanket. This would suit B2 better so I might replace it with the plainer one.
  2. Hah, you're on. Always wanted to cruise on up to NSW in the rollas :( Just brought the baby home. Will detail her tomorrow. The family who owned her are so lovely. They're even chasing up old slides showing Grandma with it in its heyday. We're going to keep in contact. :)
  3. Ohhhhh, Nick :) If I ever part with her I'll give you first option. You can even drive her in the Bay to Birdwood if you want :( Sorry mate...
  4. Cheers. Will take more pics soon. :) A mate's grandma made this so he passed it on to us for the 20: And another mate found this on the keyring when he bought his ke30. Cheers Mick!
  5. Yep, interchangeable :) Is it just the 7 rib from the 4agze that has the extra oil squirters?
  6. Go for it. We've driven several of ours interstate, up the river in summer, down to Victor many times with no troubles. You'll be right. Just take the usual- coolant, a spare hose or two, oil. If anything breaks, they're pretty much a piece of cake. :)
  7. Meet Joansy. Owned by the same family since 1974. Saw a post by another member in the spotted thread. There was a link to the trading post. We called. Got to the owner's house by about 8:45pm and took Joansy for a short drive up to the servo so that we could check her over under the lights. She hasn't been modified in any way but the family weren't enthusiasts so though she's been well loved, any little repairs haven't been done the way a meticulous collector might do. Nothing major. Just little things like the door puller on the passenger side has been replaced with a handle from a set of drawers. :) The seats have "Playboy" covers heh heh and she desperately needs a new radiator. It also has speakers installed in the rear skins so we might try to get our hands on some replacements eventually. Despite a couple of small things we'd like to change, she looks a treat and even comes with good old hubcaps. Plans are to fix a few things properly, lower her, whitewalls, venetian and an old crocheted granny blanket for the rear... maybe a tissue box too. Hah hah Many thanks to Hayley and her family for trusting us with this little peanut. I'm already in love! Here are the pics from the advert:

    Oh man. I want one in blue!! :)
  9. Glad to hear you've saved a 20 from being wrecked. Bamboo too which is a great classic colour. Will look forward to photos and to seeing this corolla being restored.

    Spotted a cornflour blue ke20 today on Main North Road. Boy do I want me one in that colour. It's the ultimate grandpa style. Also spotted Shapertos' 3 race corollas at their workshop this arvo. Love those rollas!

    Hah hah, yeah it's good but it's going to be my daily so you can't leave with it. Lol Sorry guys. Anymore that come up are all yours. I didn't want B2 to be a daily. She's too nice. This one is neat but not as tidy. We'll give her some loving. :hmm: Spotted a beige slanty nose at the Village Shopping Centre at about 12:30 today. Fairly tidy. Only a small amount of rust above the tail lights. Anyone on here?

    Oh yeah, also spotted a ke25 in the same browny green colour as Punchy. Had a ding in the driver's side front quarter.

    Yep, love it. You drive up to the house and there it is just sitting there like some little treasure. Hubcaps and all. So sorry Nickyboy. :P We'd already bought it before I saw your post.

    :P :hmm: :( Oh and on the way home: Spotted a ksev wagon UWV 792 in white. Flatnose. Looked cool.

    Spotted a dark blue ke70 wagon at the Lower North East/Darley Road intersection last night at around 8:00 I reckon.
  16. Love your 26. Looks like you've got the skills to get her back to her former glory. What condition is the interior in? Noticed you also have an IS200. Now that's good taste all round. :y: Also, about your english. Peter Solburg accent = instant sex appeal. Lol
  17. Picked up most of what we need to convert the 25 to manual. Just a 4 speed at this stage as it's the quick, cheap option but will still make a huge difference. Also got these. Ohhhh yeah! Many thanks to Nigel and the Shaperto team. :y:
  18. Love the work you've done here. Have you noticed a big difference in response with the flywheel machined? The whole car looks a treat.
  19. Yep I'm sure glad it wasn't parted out too. Will, it'll definitely have the hubbies and whitewalls!
  20. Hey, Haydo. Meant to get back to you about the venetian. Sorry to say but I'm keeping it. This 20 is going to be granny spec remember. :D Benzo, also meant to get back to you. Come over for coffee and a muffin sometime. I work Monday, Tuesday, Friday 5am-10am and Thursday 9:30-2:30. Told my boss you're the spitting image of JT so she wants to have a look. Lol Will, got some panels for B2. Thanks to Brock in QLD who sorted it out for us. These were delivered this morning. Oh yeah and a pic of some of the parts we've removed...
  21. You really need to hurry up and lower it already Will. :P
  22. Hah hah, awesome. Another one for the collection Haydo :y: Yeah Mitch, I know, I know. How filthy is the 25!! Gotta get a cover for it.

    Spotted Benzo again today. He's following me!
  24. Hey there! First thing I'm going to do now is check out your rides threads! I LOVE ke26's. Large fries sounds great. We're always down Victor/Goolwa way. Should organise a ke2# cruise down to catch up with you and get RA28GT to take pics. Reckon it would make me all shaky seeing Mitch's 20, RA's, Nickyboy's etc etc with a few 25s, wagons and panos in the mix. :y: Last of the photos for now so I don't bore you all. Stupid me forgot to drop the bonnet on the 25. Grrr
  25. Love those pics. Miss the wags and would love that ke25 of Punchy's. My brakes in the ke25 are majorly delayed and crappy too. I have to keep a good distance away from the car in front and brake well in advance. Doesn't really bother me at this stage because it's not like I'm going anywhere fast. hah hah
