one side started. looks better already :) let me know of what you guys think ey?

all sweet anyway ive got a 1973 ke20 with bits cut off it anyways.

the welding will fix n keep it strong. its just a way to shave and clean the bay up. just photos of my nokia haha couldnt find my camera.

soo on tuesday i dropped the old girl off to the sandblaster. went to pick it up wednesday to find one of the straightest, cleanest, rust free bodies ive ever seen... one patch of rust in her ( picture below) ive now got it in the shed in epetec ready to start. as u can see in a few engine bay shots ive got red marker round the seems and holes. there all being welded this weekend if all goes to plan :) cuting the edges off the shockie towers. shave the engine bay because lets face it the k motors don't really cover much so you may aswell take the time n show some skill and how clean u can make a car look. if your going to build a car. you may aswell put time and effort in and do it 100% perfect. not half arse like some hah... please leave feed back :) cheers gareth. alll sandblasted! body in protect epeteccleanest body ive ever seen! only bit of rust in her!

definatley part of the fun haha. definatley will pay off wen its done. the old girl gets sandblasted on tuesday so panel work will start as soon as ive finished welding the bay n what ever lays under neath the paint... shouldnt be to bad tho. i was going to build it with a 12a bridgy but ive got everything for a 4k block ( extractors ect.) and I'm pretty keen to get back into a ke20. so the blocks been stripped n ready for paint. if anyone has pictures of 1970 ke20s id be really happy. this old girl will look original but just a few things custom ( dash ect). i need pictures of the front end mostly .... cheers gareth.

havent updated as I'm in brisbane for tafe as a spray painter. wen i get back next week i will hopefully have engine bay starting to be welded up (seams) n shit so itll be all smooth. few mods to fire wall and should be sweet.

hopfully ill get pictures today. finally cleaned up the shed to theres room to bring the ke20 in and start some serious work. made a sheet metal dash to fit in. so all thatll be origial is the metal peice down the bottom. no more plastic :) sheet metal dash's are so much cleaner. i want to mini tub it so i can slide a nice set of wheels under the back. really don't no what i wanna run in the bay. i do have a 12a bridgy lined up. no rushing this car. cheers. still needing early guards/ bonet/ front peice/bars. if can help please pm me.

hey there. ive had a few ke20 projects before. but ive had the right price offered at the right time i couldnt resist. haha i found a 1970 ke20 corolla. body is sweet panel wise. doors are good. bootlids good 2. it didnt have guards or bonet. bars lights or anything. booked in for sand blaster next weekend to see what I'm working with but i work in a panel shop so shouldnt be to bad. got big plans for it. original but custom. ill get pics up tomorro probably. Everywhere i look i can't find 1970 rear lights? are the 1970 ke20 rare? i need guards, bonet, bars, lights 2. if anyone can help me out be much appreciated. I'm not rushing the old girl. will be killer wen finished.
