My Ke25...back Off The Road

Sounds like its going to be a beast. When you say molested you mean cut up for 4age? or molested most parts?

[Felix]

That looks pretty good. The hotwires suit nicely. :P

[Jono]

yeah, cut up a little for the 4age - nothing major. also sold a heap of the original parts.

Well i was picking my sister up from work today (supercheap) and the manager comes out with a jvc head unit, Just been reduced to clear as it was old stock. $99 special. Would be better if i had of gotted staff discount on top of that but hey it was still cheap as.

[KE70-from-mt-panorama]

Hey all. Update!

 

I painted some of the plastic bits that were all old looking, now they look much more presentable.

 

The fender garnishes, the vents behind the bonnet (don't know what they are actually called) and the tail light surrounds.

I will be painting the grill and bits around it very soon. What you all think so far?

Well i found out something completely awesome about my car the other day. i pushed the aerial down on my car just in case some one didnt come along and bend/snap it off. then when i did the transition between my headunits i had to go to town without music so i just thought, hell ill listen to the stock radio. i push the button to turn it on and the aerial popped up. holy shit its spring loaded!!!

 

How cool is that.

[JiP]

Thats pretty cool. I wish my arial would actually go down.

Hey champ,

 

I stopped to get dog food today from petbarn on the way home from work, and had a quick look at your rolla in the car park. It looks good mate I really like the shape of these things. But yeah you need to paint those bits around/under the grill, It'll look heaps neater.

 

I'll come in and say hi when I'm not so rushed to get home.

 

Cheers Dan

Yep on the list of stuff to do when i get money. And motivation.

 

I might do the grill in black tomorrow as i still have some left. hoping it looks good when I'm done.

 

Not happy with the engine at the moment, just little things giving me the shits. Changed the points and condensor because they were shagged, Changed the plugs and leads while i was there. Fixed the timing, played with the carby to get rid of the flat spot.

 

And thats about the extent of it, but need to play with it a bit more, it starts to idle rough when it gets hot, may just need the idle bumped up a little. all in tomorrows work i spose.

 

Cheers

got a few photo's of my rolla with the grill painted, and got a bit artistic (as in i parked it in the middle of the yard and took photo's...just after i washed it!!! :dance: )

 

Enjoy

Looking good man, now you just need to paint the metal parts top/bottem and it will look tops :dance:

[KE70-from-mt-panorama]

The top metal strip is rooted (rust) and I'm still in the process of checking how to pull the bottom metal part off.

 

Bought 5 cans of degreaser today to do the engine bay. and then some wrinkle paint to do the rocker cover. hoping it looks good when I'm done

 

Bought a Carby kit should make it a bit better, will buy a fuel pump soon also as i think its on the way out.

 

Cheers For the kind words

I'm really digging that '25 with the hotwires. I keep thinking that it would look awesome with a set of deep dish hotwires and flares.

[Kid-Ae]

Yeah Deep Dishes and whitewalls :dance:
