finally..! will do a proper post soon. just a teaser for yas. i will say a huge thankyou right now, to Kristian, Wan, Gavclassic, and any others involved in getting her to the standard its at to when i bought it...! i literally do not have to do a thing to it. i love you guys..! for real more info to follow info here as i believe it, please correct me if i'm wrong, guys. will not put any names in, unless you guys want your name in in the late 90's, one of the R.C guys owned it with a 1200, auto. then it went to a mate of his, who put in a 7k EFI, disk brake conversion in then he got it back again in around 2004, removed the 7k, and put in a warm 3k. then the next info i can find was when Wan owned it, either he or someone around that time, put in the Ksev 4k and 5 spd. it then made its journey up the mountain to Toowoomba, and lived a sheltered, caring life with the owner i got it off it's currently running that KE70 4kc, and 5spd, extractors and 2" exhaust. thermo fan, with temp sensor, disc brake front end i had a 5k to go in her, but i just couldnt bring myself to touch something that runs so well, starts first go, choke is hooked up, heater works(WELL). and to be honest, when i did the round trip from Tmba=>Brissie==>Caloundra on Sunday, it never missed a beat or ran close to hot. a true testament to the previous owners..! /salute plans are to tint the windows, do the hoodlining and dash. then enjoy it for as long as i can. my son has booked it for himself in my will, and wants me to HTFU and die, lol once again, i thankyou, guys who got her to this stage, and Joel for your awesome advice, and help.

thanks Jesse. at least someone may have benefited from my bunglings here, lol and yeah this has gone to a good mate, now. he may or may not do a rides thread.

love the work you guys have done. it's a great story seeing father and son working together on a project like this. my eldest son was too busy playing xbox and FB to do anything with me. me next eldest son was the same, til i took him for a spin on friday in the red KE18. the looks and cheers got him hooked. he now says he wants to help me build one with him hopefully, we can build the relationship, like you guys have. it's awesome mate. oh and stance on Ollie is perfect..!

truly a great find, Dave thanks..!
