KE ping it real

Well we had a pretty good day considering. Went and picked up paint and a whole lot of other gear and then got to work masking up to strip the roof & boot Paint stripper was being a bicth it took 3 coats and still didnt penetrate all the way so we got the sander out to finish off polled most of the mouldings off and found 20 years worth of crud After that we applied wax n grease remover and put rust converter on the roof Roof is Back to bare metal and it looks awesome And we decided the roof is going to look so good we are going to respray the whole car this weekend The majority will be just rubbed & scuffed up a bit and then full 2-pack respray yo Anyway here is a few photos of progress today with more to follow tomorrow

Well i got my blue slip yesterday first go woohoo The wife has ordered me some personal plates so i'm gonna wait till they arrive before i register it I am going to start prepping the car for paint today and hopefully get some primer on the roof etc Then with luck i will get it painted on the weekend I also bought a bigport redtop for it as well (for a steal)which i may or may not rebuild before i put it in. I do plan on turbo ing it at a later stage so i might put it in and pull it out for rebuild later when i decide to boost it I will post pics of the progress later this arvo

Ok So i havent been on here in a while as i have been torrying around for a while as some of you know but the financial crunch got the better of me and i was forced to sell up I Then decided i really wanted a revvy 4 banger again for a bit of fun driving (and something i could park anywhere without worrying) Soooooo an early birthday present from the wife got me this gem Needs some paint work mainly on the roof & bootlid interior is pretty damn good (tacho dash FTW) but it runs and drives like i just picked it up from the dealership Not a powerhouse (4af woohoo) but its not too bad up in the rev range and very responsive So plans for now include Blue slip & rego respray roof & bootlid & pop out ding in drivers gaurd for now respray & fit rear wing from ebay (factory version not ricer special) And then in a couple of months Fit full pedders suspension setup New rims & tyres Fit Cd player speakers e.t.c New window tint (is done now but a shite job) possibly new exhaust but will see And then even further down the track 20v or ze implant It will be my daily for a while until i get some actual power in there and then will reside to weekend duties Anyway enough chatter, a few pics

I'll drop in and say gday at villawood checkout a few of these beastsand then i'll leave the rollas alone so they can cruise....Wish i still had one :D

I might drop in and say gday at this one, either homebush or see you at palmy :)

Try these guys http://www.otomoto.com.au/

Do the job properly, reset your springs and add a leaf. Blocks are illegal in most places because they are dangerous

Hey Marty, that leaves you less than a month to get some Billet rims LOL

That rotissarie is awesome Luc well done, and as for the fire.......spit roast corolla??

That would be fun Kev, going for a long cruise in my shitty work ute....LOL :)

I'm definately keen to come to the AMF to see Marty's car but probably wont come down to Canberra. Got my first Torana show the following week and i don't want anything to go wrong before that :)

+1 for the black grill....... so when is the 'Marty's Car is finally finished' Cruise?

Another keyboard tough guy.... how original

Hey Trav, i didnt know super cheap sold actual cars..........lol

Car looks like sex on wheels but i still think it should be a v8 even if it is only 500hp. 1000hp sounds nice but i've been in a car with 1100hp at the wheels (passenger)and it was the most frightening thing i have ever done, thought i was going to have a heart attack and you can't see a thing

I'm sorry to hear about all the problems Jon and i hate to say it but i think the spirit of Lolla is haunting your new car and causing issues to pay you back for selling her :dance:

I'd be happy to help out too Mick seeing as i didnt finish mine, Not too sure what i'd be good for but i'm sure i could find something

I hope your only joking Luke You just got her finished and how you want her and your thinking of selling???? If you do sell i reckon you will regret it for the rest of your days

Nice to see this one won't be purple Martin LOL :wink:

Yeah well i was just trying to be helpful ffs, i misread a bit no need to be a bitch about it

Have you checked the voltage while turning it over? My mate just had to replace his battery, it was showing 12v but as soon as you cranked it it dropped to 5v

Must work in a fibreglass factory

Hey Guys Well i officially resigned my post as rollaclub region leader, mainly because i don't own a corolla anymore But i still think it important to keep this club scene alive Everyone i have met through the club has been great but i think the Sydney region is a bit lacking in enthusiasm in some respects Radrollaz does there part but that is basically a quaterly cruise and unfortunatly not everyone can make it on those days so i think it would be better if perhaps even a monthly thing was organised even if it was just everyone meeting up at a maccas for an hour or so to catch up and talk cars I'm always keen for a mini cruise or a meetup or BBQ or whatever (as long as you guys are happy to have me there in the Torry :y: ) So please people ....Ideas thoughts and lets go from there Cheers - Andrew :y:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear that Adam, the main thing is that you are both ok This is the death of an awesome car :y: :wink: :y: :lolcry: :)

Hey George Havent you put this together yet? Wheres all the progress......LOL 8/ In all seriousness, hows she going? Cheers - Andrew
