HEY Rolla club members,

if ever you are stuck for lenses,tail light indicator etc.

there`s a bloke at carrara in the gold coast queensland by the name of Dale Mc shane he runs classic plastic and makes reproduction lenses from good original ones (makes a mould and pours like new with good colour in the plastic).

around 7 yrs ago i use to sell chrysler repro lenses made by him.he does a lot of hot trod stuff and usually advertises in the cruising magazine etc.

hope this helps people out

cheers

tenyeargarantee, i got the lights off the guy i bought it off, donno how he got his hands on em i think through toyota but he said was the last ones made by toyota so i thought i would have a brag! and about the hilux diff i must have to agree! the hilux diff was just an idea! my new idea is to fit an old skyline diff in! that wouldnt way it down to bad don't think!

 

anyway on the weekend i pulled everything off the front, like the guards, front bumber and things like that, i wire brushed the the inner guards (think thats what they r called) and painted em black! this avo i measured up new door trims and parcel shelf to be cut out tomoro arvo! when i do the interior (which will be soon hopefully) i will carpet and vynl it all make it look overrated anyway here is a pictures update!

 

thanks for all the comments, Myles!

hey every1,

 

sorry about the new account i was on holidays for a while and didnt come on this site so it stopped signing me in automaticly and i forgot my password and everything and it wont send me the email to change it! it says it has but it wont so this is my new acount sorry!

 

anyway onto the ke10....... nothin more has been done to it other the surface rust and the mdf cut outs for the interior! I'm still waitin on a mate to cut the rust out! and i havent begain on the interior just yet! my brother who is gonna help me tells me we will do it soon but who knows.

 

but i have some good news! i was given another corolla! a 1980 KE55! it is full of rust and was only used to bush bash! which is my purpis for it aswell as i have 6 and a half aches with less the half doing nothin! it has good parts on it still includin grill and lights and stuff but extior is shockin i think the drivers side door is the only thing that doesnt have rust fallin (literally) off it! the only thing that is wrong with it and the only reason it was given to me was becasue the starter motor doesnt work! so i hav to clutch start it! but it does great donuts! lol when it stops raining here in QLD ill take some pics! if u want any parts off it just let me no cus u can have nething off it cheap! so let me no!

 

will have pics soon

 

take care! Myles
