ke55 project Sat, 18 September 2004 11:16 Go to next message
hello all,
this is my project car that i am currently rebuilding.
i got it for $400 from my nextdoor neighbours sisters boyfriends friend.
its been lowered, 13"/185 watanabay look alikes, 2T celica engine that has had head work, new cams, extractors, 2 1/2" exhaust system, with only one muffler left in the system and a polished rocker cover in its day. its a little bit dirty now but nothing a little bit of elbow grease cant fix. it is currently in pieces as im re-spraying it in a more pure white instead of a creamy white. and fixing all the dents.
please keep in mind that this was when i first got it, it will be looking like it came off the showroom floor when im done Smile http://server5.uploadit.org/files/garagegrandiose-outside3.jpg

oz boy, yea ive fixed all the rust now. and coated all the iffy parts in rust convertor as well so it should be alright.

EMP-2TG, i have another one like this that is a ke50, and its yellow..using it for spare parts. but the previous owner told me this was a ke55..basically the same car, just a different year model. but its still pretty cool. im happy with it for 400 bucks. its like my little race car. im hoping to turn it into some sort of club car later on.
