The bloke at the panelbeaters taped this up as an idea to paint the inside black while still having the rest of te bonnet red. What do you reckon... Opinions?? Think i finally got this pic debarcle sorted... Huzzaaaa

Cheers KE70DAVE. Now the search begins... Also are the engine mounting points the same on both varients? Cheers. Glen

"Cheers mate, only thing stopping progress are my apprenticeship wages. Need to buy a belt driven compressor, whole bunch of air tools, guns for spraying, welding gear etc. I barely have enough hand tools to do my job let alone restore a car. " I hear ya mate... Doin the same thing with a KE25.But i plan on winning the lottery soon so it shouldnt be a problem for much longer... :2thumbs: Found a local panelbeater, only a small place that has let me put the car in his workshop and go in and do the work myself with him helping out... Hes not even charging me for storage. Plus you better start saving for those longchamps...

Cheers mate... Pretty excited. I should see a tow truck rockin up tomorrow to take my baby for some lovin. WOO HOO. This has been a long time coming... Thinkin of going down the 4AGE path now. Got an AE82 in my driveway i can use the motor out of. Anyone done the conversion from fwd to rwd?

Hope u put up some pics and a vid of what it looks/sounds like when its done...

Hi all. This has probably been discussed to death before but i can't find. Restoring a KE25 n am deciding what to do engine wise... I have an AE82 sitting my driveway awaiting some TLC however i have been thinking about ripping the engine out and putting it in the 25.. I have had a read in the faq bit and it seems pretty straightforward as far as converting the engine goes. Just wondering if anyone has done this and weather there are any performance issues when this conversion is done. All info small or detailed would be appreciated. Cheers. Glen

Lookin pretty neat man... Should be a weapon when u finished with her. Will be watchin this build.

So what the hell am i doin wrong with uploadin pics??? All i can get is these little thumbnails n not the large pics!!!

Strip complete now off to the workshop for some rubbin n bangin...

Man this thing is nice... LOVE it Nice work

Nice mate keep going with it n don't give up on it... Love seeing cars like that given a second chance at life. :thumbsup: Any plans yet? Glen.

Hey man lovin this thread and the sound of how this build will go... can't wait to see how it turns out... Will be watchin this space Cheers. Glen

OK how the hell do i upload pics into an old album??? Or do i just have to make a new album....

WOW has it really been this long since i touched this thing.... Time flies when your....Doin stuff Anyways got some coin so time to get off my a$$ n get into it. :yes: Had the boys round the other night gettin the last of it stripped, minus engine n gearbox which is comin out tomorrow night. So hopefully she will be goin down to the panelbeater tomorrow... The bloke there is gonna keep it there n let me go in n do most of the work myself. Works better for me as he has all the tools n knowhow there plus i get all the warm n fuzzies when its done. Pics comin...

Yeah the grey/charcoal colour is def the go... :yes: U gonna slam that bitch on her fat ass??

Nice rig mate... Good canvas to start with. Any thoughts on what your gonna do with her yet?

Needs some work but hopefully u stick with it n make something decent of it... Nice lookin sev wagon will make a few people on here drool i reckon. :yes:

HAIGHIE... The car looks and sounds like its coming along nicely and just as you want it to. I know what your going through with the time commitment issue as I'm doing the same myself with my ke25... Was a bit disapointed to read that your changing your paint scheme. It would have been nice to see something different on a sev as the white on black has been done.. Still a great look don't get me wrong. Anyway mate keep up with the progress. Look foreward to seeing how you go with this one

Hi all. "Sold" my AE82 twin cam to a "mate" who was supposed to pay me off but after having it for four months until it ran out of rego, then conveniently dropping it off at my house while i was at sea and doin a runner... Anyway,, apart from destroying the interior i found he had cut the wire to the alarm and now the thing wont start... I got reds but it wont crank and the hazards and all sorts of shit starts to flash and carry on. I have tried rewiring the alarm but still no good.. Put a new battery in and the same result. Any ideas?? Cheers

Hey guys... Was nice to meet a few of u today. There is actually a few of us up here (well more than i thought anyway) :y: Got a bit of an itch being there n have spent the arvo in my garage. Now my car is in even MORE pieces :(

Sweet :) I got a AE82 which has been my daily for a few years.. I still drive it a bit but i got a lux so it gets shared... (dependes how hot it is as it has no aircon) :laff: Got a KE 25 which is in pieces at the moment as I'm in the process of restoring... So anyone know where i can source parts for both??

u guys meet up or go cruisin??

Hi all... Any members from the Cairns area? Havnt seen too many rollas round here but would be nice to see if there are people around who may be keen to meet up or get somethin started... Cheers. Glen

Cheers Ninja =)
