A few more from the day......

A couple of pics people took of "George" yesterday at the "Fuel4Charity" day in Sydney.

Got my centre caps (Domes) for the Dragway wheels and decided to remove all wheels and give them a good polish with Autosol. Vast improvement. The dull centre of the wheels are all bling now and the domes finish the Dragway look off nicely. Worth the effort of polishing properly. "Fuel for Charity" car meet on this weekend in Sydney......so time to clean and polish. Dragway centre caps (Domes) Unpolished wheel and no Dome Polished wheel and Dome fitted

New red and black gear knob now on too, arrived today. Keeping with the red/black theme in the cockpit

Never been a fan of wood finish steering wheels so have bought a OMP old school style steerer and a Sparco quick release in black and red. Old wheel I wasn't keen on. New deliveries today......

Drove to Sydney today to buy a cut and polish kit.........want to get the paint back to awesome for a car show/meet in Sydney in about 4 weeks. So I'll be spending about 12hrs sometime soon.....Cutting, sealing, washing, polishing and waxing. Not looking forward to the job, but keen to see the result. $350AUD well spent.....lets hope.

Hi Guys and Girls, First post here. Just thought I would share some pics of my new ol school ride I bought last week from a guy here in QLD, nice guy. He was pretty emotional about selling the car. And I know why.....I love it!!! - It's a 1969 2 door Corolla KE18 wagon. - Engine is a 4K from an KE70. - Gearbox is also KE70 5 speed. - Rising Sun roof decal professionally fitted. - Thermo fan - Extractors to stock exhaust (quiet) - Lowered 2" blocks in rear with KE70 top hats in front. - 13x7 +10 Dragway Wheels with 175/50 tyres. - SAAS woodgrain steering wheel and gear knob. (New OMP steering wheel and quick release ordered and fitting soon) - Temp, tacho and volt gauges. - H4 semi sealed headlights with mesh covers. - Bullet style fender mirrors. - Darkest legal tint all round. - Re-trimmed interior, not perfect but still damn good looking. (headliner is original and a bit ratty). - Original TEQ key! - Old style roof rack. - KE35 retractable seatbelts. Future plans are to upgrade engine to possibly 4AGE 20V, new wheels (14 inch), full respray and suspension upgrade. PS: Ol school Stickers!!! Would like some suggestions for hot wheels for the KE18 (pics welcome) Hope you all enjoy these pics I took today. Cheers, Steve
