  1. hey guys, I'm looking at this ke70 tomorrow and the ad said various rust spots, as its unregistered i would just like to know if anyone knows where are the spots to look for where rust can't be repaired or make it so the car can't be registered, thanks!
  2. oh awesome haha where do get one of those twinky steering wheels? off any twin cam rolla? haha also another thing, i want to put a new head unit it but i noticed the stock one is part of the dash...do i bust out a jigsaw and go to town on that bad boy or what? is there an easier way? haha
  3. yeah i did, i drove for like an hour and a half and the car didnt start haha wasnt too bad inside though
  4. haha yeah cheers guys, i was wondering what other gearboxes could fit someone told me a a manual gearbox from an ae80 would fit but couldnt find anything on the net about it and thats a good idea with the 5k, what was the 5k originally in? and so no tilt steering? cause I'm apparantly pretty tall and my knee hits the wheel pretty bad haha i guess it something i could get used to but i figured seeing as i be all up in the dash anyway it couldnt be too much hard to install a steering colum with tilt adjust...ah well haha ill get on all that thanks again guys
  5. oh and whats the deal with tilt adjust steering wheel do they just not have that? is there a way to install it? cheers
  6. so I'm going after a ke70 its pretty nice but its auto, hopefully ill have it by tomorrow which means I'm going parts hunting tomorrow, its a 1.3 and i want to convert it to manual...can't seem to find many manual gearboxes around for one so could i get a list of compatible manual parts? and also, whats a cheap/ p plater friendly way to get a little more power out of it, as my driveway is a little steep and my current 1.6 hatchback rolla struggles a bit haha cheers
  7. woah thats crazy haha dibs when you decide to sell that car :P
  8. yeah ive seen that story before, that girls pretty lucky haha does she still have the car? I'm going to go see that auto one tomorrow or thursday and work out some stuff cheers again for your help ill post something here when it finally happens haha
  9. oh and as far as how much bodywork...no welding but ive replaced some panels thats about it and mechanical...everything that doesnt involve a hoist haha
  10. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/51978-20v-ke70/ what do you think of this one?
  11. thanks again for all the help guys i appreciate it :)
  12. i saw that one, was very muchly considering it, with the manual conversion ive never done something that big before...would i need a hoist? i do like that one though I'm just worried if i buy an auto and spend the money, i wont be able to convert it and ill be stuck with an auto car haha i dunno do you think its possible to do it on my own? and safely? i mean i kinda know some stuff but I'm more then willing to learn as well but i don't really have anyone that can help me do it haha
  13. haha I'm in sydney, yeah i have tools and this forum gives me the know how cause everyones so helpful haha yeah well I'm desperate for one so i might just do that haha ive got tyres already so should be golden, what about rust whats the deal how do i know how much is too much?
  14. so i found another ke70 thats unrego ed but has low k's and based on the pics looks ok they want 400 for it but i was just wondering how hard is it to rebuild a car back to rego ableness? haha and what do i need to pay specific attention to when looking at a car that i plan on doing this to? cheers again youre all awesome
  15. yeah i thought 7kg was a bit much, i dunno its easier to say i wont pay more then 1500 for one than to actually get one especially in sydney cause everyone wants them i don't actually want to drift it i jsut really like the shape of them ive explored other options and as you said with the unrego-ed ones i was pretty keen to buy a shitter and restore it but its just too hard to get one to me on the northern beaches and then it would have to get a blue slip and go over the pits which as I'm told isnt very easy but yeah thanks for your advice I'm still not really sure what to do i just want one so badly as I'm sure you all understand haha
