Mason. Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Hey all, so i have just purchased a ke36 windowless panel van, i brought it off 'sleepercorty', who brought it off 'jip', so shes abit of a rollaclub slut. When i went to see her for the first time, i pretty much fell in love, even though she looks pretty ratty. Was thinking about a name on the way back and couldnt come up with anything. So i put my ipod on shuffle and the first song that came on was "Strange kind of woman" by deep purple. Nice song about some bloke spending every cent he had on a girl he love, but was a prostitute. Her name was Nancy. thought it kinda fittied because this pano is also a rolla club slut haha and i plan on spending all my money on her. Anoher trip to toowoomba seeled the deal. Drove it home down the warrego with its 4 speed screaming the whole way, good fun :lolcry: Got it home and played a game of spot the rust with my dad :lolcry: lol another great memory. All in all quite happy with the buy, thanks sleepercorty. Ideas: I have been joking with my dad about getting a mattress cut to fit in the back, and other stupid shit like a larger mirrow fittied to the inside roof, above the bed. haha would be cool, probally not practical. Who knows might give them a shot. Was also think about some black and red widend stockies. if i decide to keep the rat rod look. The possibilities are endless :lolcry: I put the meshies i had on my ke70 onto this, tell me what you think. I think they suit Edited March 27, 2011 by Mason. Quote
xmoht Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Nice ride. For something truly unique, get a custom made mattress for the roof and a mirror for the floor. That way you can sleep on the mirror and it will give the appearance you're on a mattress. Quote
Oh-KE Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Cool car! wheels look good too.. That photo is giving me a sore neck though. I was wondering can you see anything out that passenger side peep mirror from the drivers seat? Thinking about getting some but not sure how practical they would be. Good luck with her :lolcry: Quote
Mason. Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Posted September 4, 2010 can't see a f@$king thing hahaha. but hey, they look cool... thats all that counts right? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted September 4, 2010 Report Posted September 4, 2010 Mmmmmaaatttt Blaaaaaaack!!!!!! FTW!!!! Quote
Mason. Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Posted September 6, 2010 Hey so i have for now decided to go for the rat rod look. so I'm chasing some stock wheels that can be widened or are already widened. maybe from a vw? if anyone knows places in brissy that will widen stock steel rims give me a yell. just going to paint the centers black, the lip red and maybe a little whitewall. haha i know people don't like this look on corollas but f@$k it. The way I'm looking at it is. I'm not molestering it but flaring it and doing illegal shit to it. haha saving it for another day. Quote
MattyZ Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 van looks siic, if ya goin with the rat rod theme should get a white rear venetian Quote
Mason. Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Posted September 6, 2010 yeah I'm hunting one down. theres some on ebay. $200, not sure if thats over priced or not Quote
MattyZ Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 yeah I'm hunting one down. theres some on ebay. $200, not sure if thats over priced or not i got one for my celica off ebay, its heavy duty as not flimsy at all just a bit heavy but nothings made dodgy, if its mounted right ya wont have a problem Quote
Mason. Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Posted September 8, 2010 Ok guys just brought a pretty high tech performance part for the panelvan. should add an instant 25 hp to this beast. RED SPRAY PAINT FOR THE ROCKET COVER! got a little sick of looking at a dirty greasy engine bay so went down to supercheap and picked up heat resistant paint and undercoat. definatly wasnt supercheap. pulled off the rocket cover and gave her a wash. its all nice and shiny now, keep alret for the pic updates when its RED! Quote
JJT036 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Posted September 8, 2010 Nice P/Van Mate. Good to see another one on here. They're starting to become a dying breed, especially the Windowless ones. Good Luck with her. Josh :D Quote
Nostalgia Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Your plans are exactly what I was planning to do with a ke26 I'll have my hands on soon! RAT RODS yeahh :D I agree with MattyZ, go the venetians Quote
Mason. Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Posted September 9, 2010 Ok so rocket cover is re-mounted and looking nice and rice spec. maybe it stands out a little too much... lol especially if I'm going for a rat rod look. umm well got bored walked into supercheap today, came across something i have always wanted. lol no van is complete without one. what is it your asking yourself? take alook below! got home and mounted it, i think it looks sweet! stay tuned, obuying some veneitians off ebay tomorrow can't wait for them to arrive, their pricey but look the part Quote
MattyZ Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 rocker looks overrated nice work if ya worried bout the red stickin out, should throw a bit of white in the bay too keep the theme through the whole car just simple stuff, like white spark plug leads, or if ya later on put extractors on, you can get white heat paint/coating just a few more ideas for ya keep up the good work.

Mason. Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Posted September 10, 2010 so i waswondering if there are any places locally in brissy that will sell rear veneitians, I'm worried about getting them from ebay incase they don't fit. that shit would suck lol Quote
