67Rolla-Ken Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Howdy all. I've been meaning to start a thread on here. I haven't got much in the way of pictures at the moment, but they will follow. 67ROLLA My 3K powered KE10, as yet the only mod is a 2" exhaust that I just got today. Sounds friggin awsome!! Also I have pianted bright orange the rocker cover, air filter holder thingy and the fan. Now just need some new hoses, new battery box installed, tidy up the wiring, and that should be it for the engine bay. I am getting her painted in March, bright orange, with 2 x 2" white stripes off center on the drivers side. Some time in the future I plan to get the interior changed to orange with the white stripes continuing inside on dash/carpet/seats. Edit: Wow, I change my mind a lot! Now going to be white, with red stripes on sides and up & over. Interior is getting trimmed to red. Edited August 31, 2014 by 67Rolla-Ken Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 OK, here's some pics. Just gave her a wash and wax(2.5hrs in the stinking heat!), came up a lot better than I thought it would! Can't wait to get the new paint job and rims!! Quote
JiP Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Looks great. Its in such good condition. Look forward to seeing how she turns out. By the way, in four photos you posted there are two rollas in each. Quote
Gavclassic Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Go the yellow stripes over the top of the car,a set of Mazda 626 13" painted white and the car will look loke a 60's retro racer! :jamie: Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks guys, I don't know about the yellow... Do you have a pic of those rims?? The rims I want are on that red KE10 for sale at the moment. Quote
poodle Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 you can't paint that. it looks so nice red. Quote
TOM Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Those mazda stockies are cool - i had a set of chrome RX4 ones on my first KE11 and it looked sweet The rims I want are on that red KE10 for sale at the moment. I dunno man, I thought they looked a bit odd on that one for sale actually... In my humble opinion those wheels should remain on GT falcons where they belong... Sweet rolla man Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 Here's an engine shot... Not the tidiest but getting there. The red looks good in the pics, but is cracking from the bad bog job it had last respray. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 :jamie: at the "safety chain" on the oil cap. Not a bad idea though, I nearly lost another one yesty! Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 Yeh, he's cross threaded a screw into it so I can't get it out without a lot of hassle. Meh, it doesn't bother me that much. Quote

67Rolla-Ken Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Posted February 5, 2008 @#$$&^!! I didn't notice yours! Oh well, your's aren't black as well? Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Posted February 8, 2008 I just paid for my rims, am getting in platinum, with nitrogen in them :). Also, I went out and had a look at my car this moning, and she had small scratches all over the bonnet that weren't there yesterday!! She was parked in an fairly open garage (carport with rollerdoor), with no trees around, I'm thinking a cat? :( I hate cats! Quote
Taz_Rx Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 I love cats!!.......But I couldn't eat a whole one!! :) Had a flat mate with a cat who loved to sleep on the bonnet of my white mazda and leave muddy paw prints. The "panic button" for my car alarm was quite good at fixing this problem! :( Quote
