Dean_k_:) Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 Yo this is my ride! it's a 77 ke30 and i bought it for $2000 with a years rego, no rust, paint job, rims, aftermarket racing wheel and quality tyres. IT's my first car and i am 16 and on L plates so I'm very happy with it. what i have done so far- -Big clean up inside and out. -Seat covers -Lowered- blocks at the back and pedders sports ryder springs at front -Removal of centre console- it wasbroken and gettin in da way -Sound system- head unit and 6x9 with custom parcel tray (looks well hot and will post pics later -Chains for door handles (classic!) -racing pedals -Central locking -new starter motor and new wiring- relays etc -New rubbers all round -respray in a nissan metalic blue- (yes i though it was ford blueprint blue at first to) looks great at night and under lights! -other little bits and pieces i ripped of a wrecker -it's booked in tommorow to get a 1 3/4" exhaust with a resonator and canon tip. what i have planned - New carpet all round and black - painted dash (light blu) - good shocks and struts, sway bar even - Some gadgets like neons, funky switch panels, gauges etc. - New motor! - I got hold of a Ke55 with a 4k in it for free. when i rip ir out I'm hoping to work it a little bit ( lighten flywheel cam etc). it won't be hell fast but it would be fun and i am only on Ls. Another thought was to wait a bit and save and put a 4age in it. but i don't no whether id be over the car by then. any way here are some pics. i hope they work! ") and let me now what u guys thnk.

Dean_k_:) Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 Sic. thanxs for all the good comments. ill post some pics of the parcel shelf and exhaust 2nite. Got the exhaust yesterday. 1 3/4" with one resonator and canon tip. It's not hell loud but its deep and troaty and it flows better to. sic keep the comments comin and any suggestions. Quote
Gavclassic Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Good looking ride, Balina is a great place, i've got a house in Lismore i spent 6 years living up there. A nice little 4K or 5K would be great for it. Not to expensive or costly to run. Good luck and happy Corollaring !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Quote
HEKTIC Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 do you have any idea how much it costed for the re-spray? Quote
Dean_k_:) Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 do you have any idea how much it costed for the re-spray? Nah i don't know exactly it was painted when i got it. I'm sure some dudes with more experience could tell ya! i rekon some where between $1000 and $2000 and if you put in labour with sandin back and crap it would bring the price down. i got a mate who sprayed his 323 panel van sparkly black and it cost $1300 and he did some labour. the paint is a factory nissan colour so its not some hell house of colour shit so the actual paint wouldn't cost to much. Hope i helped. :D Quote
Dean_k_:) Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Posted September 12, 2006 Hey yall. Here are some pics of the exhaust and the custom parcel shelf. The zorst is 1 3/4" with a resonator and it sounds great and breaths a little better! gonna fit extractors when i put in the 4k in a couple of months. Also bought a helmet and fire extinguisher today cause I'm takin the rolla to grafton hillclimb in a few weeks. it's gonna be slow with the motor it's got now (3k) but ill have heaps of fun! Ill post some pics of the meet later on. Quote
