Not many left in the world.

Getting the carby tuned tomorrow properly. Hopefully getting the exhaust leak fixed next week. The heater tap was leaking and when i removed it from the thermostat housing it fell apart in my hands so no more heater.

Fatty and myself are in. Sorry don't know how to copy and post on my iPhone.

Are you going back there soon trev ? Does the ke30 have a Borg Warner diff ?

Radiator is back in and now just some carby tinkering and fix the exhaust leak.

Scored a 32/36 weber and a holley fuel pressure regulator today.

Pictures ?

Have you seen their purple Impala, I think he got it back yesterday ?

Monday for the radiator now, They stuffed up ordering the core.

I didn't get the radiator back today, They rang at lunch time and said lunch time tomorrow. I finish tafe early so i can get stuck into it for the afternoon.

I'm excited, I will be puting around on the weekend if I get the radiator back. I'm hoping to get it back tomorrow and be up early Friday for a drive.

I was quoted $516 for an ACL rebuild kit. Head gasket, all bearings, seals, pistons and a roll master double row timing chain kit with tensioner and guide.

Friday.

Changed water pumps. Now registered too.

22 23 24 is a good week end.

T18 = steering box Ke70 = rack and pinion. Cross members are not interchangeable unless you can cut the rack mounts off and re-weld them. Custom mounts ?

Also needs to have auto cooler inside it. Going to add a over flow bottle soon.

Don't really want to go alloy in this case. Not the look I'm after. Thanks anyway Trev. Dropped the rad off today so ill let ya know how i go.

Nothing else on the car is red so it looks out of place to me. Gloss black looks like shit on standard rims too.

Hey Hey, I sent my radiator to a shop for a re-core. Both top and bottom tanks are corroded and have pin holes all through them. No one makes tanks anymore so they were going make me some and re-core for it for a sum of $800, Bit rich for me. Another place is getting tanks in and cutting them up and welding back together to fit the frame with a new 3 row core and charging me $385. Has any one else had their Ke1X or Ke2X radiator re-cored ? if so did you run into problems ? Des ;)

Who has rear seat bealts and who doesn't ? What year and month is the car also. 5/70 no rear belts.

I can do anytime on weekends. We be rollin in my ke11.

Should be able to show up with Fatty.

Comfort is overrated.

Thermo fan has been remounted. 3rd set of mounts. I'm still not happy with them. Radiator is off being recored with a 3 row core or something, Not really clued up on rads. I'm using the exhaust pipe off the 5k to fix the leak for now. Fixed the seat belts, They clip on the pillar now. The air flow flap now closes and i can demist the front windscreen now. Fixed the combination switch for low beam, Poor contact between the switching tangs. Bought a water for the 3k, Original pump has corroded out where the hose connects to it. Should get the rad back on tuesday or wednesday hopefully.
