The "why Haven't You Finished Your Ke10" Thread

[Jono.C]

Hey guys,

 

I've had a lot of people (From here and just mates) ask where is my green Corolla, Why i haven't finished it, and wondered why i haven't been on rollaclub.

 

Well, This is why...

 

 

 

 

 

I've wanted one for as long as i can remember. I bought it in very poor non running/ rego condition 2 years ago.

 

Since then the car has had the entire electrics gone through, All the large dents and miss alignments fixed, All mechanical components have had a once over and been upgraded or replaced.

 

 

 

Car is a 1972 Crown, MS65.

 

Body remains factory with just a few small subtle mods, and keeping the original patina'd paint.

 

Interior is also mostly returned to stock besides a hidden sound system and gold mooneyes flake wheel.

 

Car is lowered and has GT GAS alround on 15x8 and 9 US Steel Wheel Co Steelies with Spyder caps and painted walls.

 

At the moment the plan is to just enjoy it finally being rego'd and driving..

 

Future plans include Matte Clearing the original paint, Replacing the motor and box with something faster, and air ride. I want this car to sit around 3" lower when parked than it does.

 

 

 

BUT... Now this car is done and moving, It answers the question of what i've been doing..

 

So now, Within the coming months i'll be getting my KE10 from my mates house, Stripping it to a bare metal shell, And finishing what i started years in the past.
