Toyota Corolla

[KPARRIS-JONES]

sounds good dude, what colour you done them in?

I've painted them black and they look awsome!

I've just got to lacquer them next and then I'll be done!

Should be finished by tomorrow.

[corolla_dude]

Finally i stood up of my butt and did some work :D

pics will be up soon!

[corolla_dude]

so you get the idea of what the plan is of the engine

[KPARRIS-JONES]

How do they get those engines so clean!?!?

How much to get everything chromed?

[corolla_dude]

mate the chroming is a a lot of money, my brother cleans his with meg quick detailer, does it every week if he drives it of course lol. which it dosent. :D

i got quoted £800 for all the welding and metal work, paint is gonna be tad over a £1000 at the place im planning to go thats the engine bay only.

wont be happening anytime soon

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Yeh I thought it would be expensive!

Chrome paint for the body-work is something like £120 per litre!

I do know a guy who could do it though. I wont need his services anytime soon though seeing as my savings account is about as lively and full as the Abyss!

(Is that spelt right?)

[corolla_dude]

im only going to chrome some parts. rest will be polished or colour coded with the interior.

canyon red on the outside and a brown leather interior :D

UPDATE!: Well my corolla is getting prep ready for its re-spray :yahoo:

Car is almost sanded and welded and filled just waiting for me and my dad tp decide on a colour.

any ideas chaps?

Brilliant!

It'd look great in a dark metallic midnight-blue with blacked-out tail lights and black 5-spokes or something, anf tinted black windows.

Proper custom Executive!

i am thinking of this copper colour from the avensis or a bmw red looks a bit orangy in some angles.

im think of doing all red rears, and smoked front head lights. and i have scrapped putting it on coilovers and am going to save up for an air ride system for the right drop on the wheels :D

dont want to do any tints as i am going all out on the interior, so i dont want to hide one of the best spots

anyone know what colour the avensis copper colour is? really liking but i think it will clash with a brown interior, too much brown.

UPDATES:

right guys cars not gone, just i have forgot to update the thread for al long time

been busy with the inside of the car, DO I HEAR YOU SAY LEATHER? lol

For any of you who want to get rid of your tacky grey a,b and c pillars, headlining and much more, i have done a guide on how to do it.

got to work on the A pillars:

things you need:

A material that you fancy (can get it any shop in material shop)

Very sticky glue (evo stick is good )

Mum's hanging pins

patiants (need alot of that)

now i will shut up and show you pictures :P

EDIT: If you are wondering why i am using mull some mullgrips on the on some of the bits is because, i had to over lay 2 layers to the each other. And the hanging up pins arnt strong enough to kepp it down.

1st spread out the leather, and measure up how much you need for the pannel you are doing.

2nd: cut out the material to size

3rd: clean the pannel with a de-greaser (clean off the dirty and oils)

4th:apply glue all over the front of the pannel, do the same to the other side of the material.

5th:Stick it!

its not hard at all im 14 so if i can do it, im sure anyone can do.

all comments welcome :)

cheers

Sorry bro, But just heard the bad new about my Dad, he is in the hospital and the rolla was doing a daily run and some stupid idiot has written off the car.

main thing is my Father is okay, the car can always be replaced as it is only metal.

looks like i got to find a new project car.

[dawesy]

hope your dad is ok

[KPARRIS-JONES]
