azza91 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Posted December 15, 2013 so much work went onto this, congrats it looks great! Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Posted December 15, 2013 Hi there Ken and Aaron thanks heaps for your great comments, and it really was the red grille badge that gave it the finishing touch LOL Ken ! thank you . And as i just put in your rides thread yours next year for sure COTY it is looking great :2thumbs: . Cheers;- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave: Quote
kickn5k Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 I'd forgotten how burnt she was. I would have given up after the fire and the first camshaft issue. I know first hand how much grief Tommy and Stu have gone through and it's a credit to their dedication. Hope this makes the short list. Will definatly get my vote. I'd love to see how much it would make, with a bit more cam and some more fuel. Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Posted December 17, 2013 Hi there Stu ! Yeh got to admit i felt like giving up a number of times but Thomas had put to much money in it to quit , so it just got better each time ( Version 1/2/3 or was it 4 :doh:) HAHA LOL lost count . As for more cam and fuel :hmm: well as Thomas put it not until next year when he has finished uni and not traveling all the time ( And here i was thinking this thing was finished :P ) thanks mate he docent need the encouragement :no: . But anyway if it happens you will be the first to know :thumbsup: . But he will have to wait between PROJECT 25- my 57 inter pick up and now my youngest son is hinting on wanting to do a project car next year ( Little 69 corona i have hidden away in the corner of the shed ) so it could be a while ! Nothing better to do in my spare time :elvis: LOL. Cheers:- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave: Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 You sir are an awesome dad! Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Posted December 18, 2013 Hi Ken thanks for the compliment but i wouldn't say awesome ! maybe a little bit crazy :elvis: but as i said in one of the earlier posts i just enjoy working on old cars and its great to see the finished build . Looking forward to next year with a couple of big ones for myself ! once i get the WB Holden ute that i,m doing for a client out of the shed . I will have to start a thread of my own just need the boys to try and teach the old man how to upload pics LOL i think i may have to call it PROJECT-25 be warned this will be different and no i,m not telling HAHA you will all have to wait and see. Cheers:- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave: Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Posted December 20, 2013 Hi all just wondering if anyone knows if the KE10/11s came out with factory air conditioning and if so has anyone got one they may like to part with? :hail: as we would be very interested ! or has anyone fitted up one from another model?. Keen to here as it is getting BLOODY hot up here :bright: and might have to put the old man back to work LOL just when he thought he was finished ( there never really finished are they ) sorry dad .

67Rolla-Ken Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 Very good question... I don't think there is such a thing but I'm not sure. Research time, after Anchorman 2 :-) Quote
Feral4K Posted December 20, 2013 Report Posted December 20, 2013 stu, theres a guy on here from the phillipines i think that had a 20 with what looked to be factory air on it( retro underdash style ) can't say ive seen a ten with any but, perhaps one of the vw missile type ones that clip on the drivers window thatd be funky lol Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Just realized Thomas had posted about air conditioning for his little Rolla ! (good one HAHA fill in a bit more time :hammer: ) i might have a look at the factory air in the Charade in the shed and see if i can retro fit it in the donor car first :hmm: or go with Cleveland,s idea ( VW missile type on the window LOL :lmao: ) thanks for the suggestion Cleveland but not really what i had in mind and i don,t think Thomas would agree either and yeah it would be funky :rock: . I will keep you all posted on any progress that i make. Quote :- ( Nothing is impossible just some things take a bit longer than others 8/ ) Cheers:- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave: Quote
Feral4K Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 If you color coded it , that would look cool i reckon.. Quote
TOMMYS Ke 11 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Yeah that would look real coooool Cleveland HAHA :lmao: lol i might just have to find one just for ( shits % giggles ) still have enough paint :P . Cheers:- Stuart ( Thomas dad ) :wave: Quote
