Just read this thread and holy shit! I swear to god this is probably the best looking ke55 that ever existed! I just got one and the inspiration this car has given me... I'm speechless man, it is almost too awesome! :)

It's such a shame that its gone now, but such a beautiful car won't be forgotten very quickly! There are some parts of this car that are definately going to be seen in my car and I really don't doubt that there have been many others who have been motivated and inspired by your car as well.

It's good that you were able to get another rolla to work your magic on. Hope you have the best luck with future builds man!

Ok, so these cars came with 2tc's, right? Could somebody tell me what the difference between this and my TE51 is? Because they look identical, except I have mustang taillights and grill, and the back doesn't angle flat. But they seem like they should be the same car.

These came with K motors. The TE51 wasnt sold in aussie, it was sold as the KE50 with a K motor, same generation as these though. Not many around, I heard someone call them The Orphans because nobody wants them.
