ngh Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Brand new member of the female kind a little technical but not enough to finish this project. We have a KE70 Panel van (imported version) that we have got to registration standard - ALMOST. we had a safety cetificate but it lapsed because the window tinting did not comply with rules. I removed that easily enough with a home steamer. Now I want to drive it! Needs some minor finishing off - Bumper bar on, Side Panels on Doors mounted and battery in place. All of it is here somewhere in house and garage. Yet my hubby has gone on to other projects and this car has sit idly in our front yard for nearly two years. I would like to be able to drive it! I am looking for help to get it up to scratch - I do not think it should be more than half a days work - providing I can find the parts. Can anyone help me? :no2: Quote

Not at a job at present and I can work around other people schedules. Do I post my email address to you here or can you get from the forum site? Quote
JiP Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Just send PM's. When you send a PM, rollaclub sends us a reminder email telling us of the message. For me only weekends would be okay, but the coming weekends are booked, so it would be in maybe a months time. Quote
goldke70 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 WOW.... now thats a nice panno... Welcome to the club.. How come hubby wont help you finish it off, only sounds like a few hours work tops..? :sob: Quote
Nitephyre Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 That looks good in black. All those things shouldn't be that difficult for the hubby to fix. Good luck :fuzz: Quote

Good luck :fuzz: The picture comes out black - but it is actually Brittish Racing Green! I know hubby or son could do it- but they have so many other things they would prefer to do. I think I will have a go myself - watch out women at work! :fuzz: Quote

So I thought I would see if I could hire someone who had a passion for corolla's to help me out. Quote
ngh Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 Update on my progress on getting the KE70 1981 Panel van up to scratch to register it. You may recall that it has been sitting idle in my front yard for two years in an almost finished state. After getting in a tow truck driver who could not move it. Then another mobile mechanic who told me what I needed to get it up to saftey certificate standard. 1 - Engine degrease 2- Door trims in place 3- Bumper Bar in place and finally a wiring tidy up. My husband did all I asked him to this week end and the car looks great. Washed Polished and works fine or should I say worked fine. Murphy struck! Whilst it was reversing the installed viper alarm set itself in immobiliser mode - in the driveway in the way of my normal drive. (I do not think it should go to that mode whilst in motion!) The siren was going off - we could not stop it. Eventually we gave in and disconnected the battery and pushed it back to where it has been sitting for two years. But we will get there, and soon very soon I will be able to drive this car! :y: Quote

goldke70 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Doh, I hate alarms, for that very reason... Yep.. Unless its an easy fix I'd just pull it out and run a basic manual kill switch. Any pics of it all washed and cleaned up..? Edited September 22, 2008 by goldke70 Quote
