ancullen Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Yeah, it's amazing how much of an effect the new headlights have - they just seem to brighten up the whole car. Very nice job, and I especially love the steelies with the centres painted black - always loved that look. And the KE30 bumper on the KE55 front looks excellent. :hammer: Quote
Dan Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 A KE30 with square headlights will essentially look just like this blokes car. There is f@$k all noticeable difference in the bonnets unless you look close. I'd actually think it would look good with the hybrid 30/55 look. For the reference, I'm pretty sure that Hilux headlights are the same as the KE55 headlights, which opens you up to alot of headlight styles (minitruck culture :lolcry:). I think the headlights that this guy has are called diamondbacks or something along those lines... Anyway, bloody nice car mate :hammer: Dan. Quote
JiP Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 These headlights are available in round, YAY. I've ordered them and they'll be in the morning :hammer: Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Posted July 20, 2006 hehe yeah these headlights i bought from autobarn off the shelf and yeah they had round ones. I got these because they aint sealed beams like the originals which means if a globe fails ya don't have 2 change the whole beam. Plus ya can put bright white lights in 2 make the car look new at night 2. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 what were those headlights worth each!?? they look really good! Quote
JiP Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Buggar, AutObarn QLD is a rip off. But i'm sure many people already know that. They charged me $48.00 each. :hammer: And when i asked for my discount... they typed something in but no $ were subtracted from the price like usually. :lolcry: Edited July 21, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote
ROLLLA Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Posted July 27, 2006 I priced the paint from Ford and lol they said itll be $1730 for everything i need (paint, thinners, hardener etc) Fuked if I'm payin that money so i rang up paint mobile and the same stuff will be costin me a lil over $400. This weekend the cars gonna get stripped and were starting to sand back and repair rust and damage. Ill take pix to show the steps if yas want? Quote
teknostorma Posted July 27, 2006 Report Posted July 27, 2006 nice car mate i wish my yellow ke55 looked like that :lolcry: Quote
ROLLLA Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Ok well ive completed all the repairs and the cars in high fill. Gonna start sanding back the guidecoat and spray it this weekend. YAY Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 So are those headlights the aforementioned Hilux lamps or specifically for ke30/55s? interested in a pair in the long run, the 55's lights aren't the best in the world at the moment Quote
JiP Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 They are aftermarket. Try AutObarn for a pair. Quote
Mickoolz Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 Nice ride man, those headlights look hot!!!! Might have to invest in some for myself. I like the colour too, orange's my fav! Can't wait to see her when she's sprayed! keep up the good work Quote
