neesh Posted July 16, 2011 Report Posted July 16, 2011 My names Neesh. I'm a second year apprentice in light vehicle. I'm 16 and on my l's. i still go to school so i don't get much time to spend on the rolla. this is my ke38. my first car. the day i decided i wanted a rolla as my first is the day i bought one. but i didnt want a average ke30, 55 or 70 because theirs a lot of em round melbourne. i was at work one day and a guy came in with this ke38 for a roadie and i fell in love with it. i told my dad i wanted it and made a offer to the guy. he wanted 1000 bux for it but i hassled him down to $750. it came with rust in the usual spots. the front panels and l/h doors wer bent (easy fix). the interior is in really good nic apart from a hole in the fron r/h door card because the old owner decided to change his mind on putting speakers in. the car came with 5" speakers in the front doors and boot. it also had central locking. so far ive had the car for bout 8 months done few little mods here nd there ive chopped the front springs (i know i shouldn't but i couldn't help it) can't remember how much but it was more than 2 coils. and got big lowerin blocks in the back. ive copped all the mufflers off and stuck a cannon on its arse. i did have painted stockies with rim trims on but i decied they look too skinny and put sonam nice 14" watanabe's on it (which i picked up from the old owner of the car for $250 with 2 road worthy bridgstone g-grid's) it got a pretty decent sound system. a sony headunit, 2 kenwood 350 watt amps powering a 1000 what JL and a 1000 what pioneer (in one box) I'm aiming for a jdm look with a little rat. ive scored a free paint job from tafe but i gotta get it straight frist.
