KE26 Wagon

Yea I see that guy around alittle at the burnout comps. Old school car with a 383, turbo 400 and sailsbury. the cars get mistaken a fair bit

Hurry up johnny boi and get it back. Need some other people to take there cars out and do skids

havent been on here for ages. Really miss my 26 but cannot go back now. Anyway the HQ has been going good. Went to summernats and entered the burnout comp. Ended up coming 18th out of 350+ competitors. Only blew the power steering up on the sunday finals, drove home without the power steering so all is good getting my KE fix soon as John will be bringing his wagon around for some more work

ahh now your thinking john!! Gas, converter and transbrake. You know its the way of the future :yes: We could get you running in the 10's on a standard motor and upset a few people???

Well done John!! when can I tub it???? and throw the gas at it?? please

Well used the Tuff mounts - ended up remaking the lower sections 60mm taller cause the didnt fit and didnt allow the extractors or sump to fit. No clearence to the tunnel was needed although it is alittle tight in areas. The harness was sent to a guy in QLD I think his name is killer Kustom Kables. He did a great job and had the harness back to me in 4 days with all the extras that i needed on there. Other than that I did it all in the shed at home with help from a couple of mates for the wiring part = i.e I hate wiring. Any questions or if you want photos just ask. Cheers for the positive feedback even though its not a rolla. Still miss my Ke26 heaps aswell

I havent been on here in ages. I previously had a KE26 and loved it, however it was stolen and burnt. After going through a couple of other cars I have now decided that I cannot have a good daily (KE26) and a nice weekend car. So now I drive a POS vr wagon everyday and Have my HQ for weekend duties. After helping John build his 13BT Ke26 I had the hankering for building my own. I know its not a Toyota / Corolla but I though I would put it up. Anyway it was a 253 timatic combo but now has: 2003 Ls1 Extractors 4L60e auto Hilux diff (done by curly) Prostars and a few other things

No racing for you tonight big boy - its raining!!! Nice photos John. Geez its been a while since I jumped on this site. Oh when are you going to let me put a LS1 in it and come join me in burnout comps :P

It is allowed in NSW check the RTA for the calculator and the NSW laws state that they are "Guidlines" which means you just have to find an engineer to sign off on it. However, to engineer it in QLD I believe that it is possible, maybe instead of asking for everybodies opinion, get the facts from you local authority

Yes it had a hidden kill switch and was a little bitch to start. Putting all that aside if they got it started the gearbox was noisey for the first 3 gears, the diff was welded with one weld broken so all the power went to one wheel. For shit sake I bought a sigma because they are a piece of junk. It is really starting to get annoying. I don't like new cars so I buy older ones but it seems that they are just too appealing to the genetically challenged part of our society. Thanks for all the comments guys. There has to be some good karma coming my way soon I hope.

Hi Guys, Well it has happened again. My 85 Sigma wagon has been stolen. Again with my kids car seats in it. It was taken from my driveway in St.Marys NSW. Rego - BH59TW If anybody see's anything please give me a call - Justin 0407775859

I did see this at the nats and its a very good little thing however the guys were having a couple of little problems with it. And yes it has been built puerly for skids

You have a pm! re head ligh surrounds

Thanks guys for the kind words. Like I have told other people when you dog dies you can't replace the daog straight away or even ever, well its the same with this rolla. There was so many memories made with this rolla. There are a couple of reasons that I am not going to repair it. 1. The metal has had the zinc coating taken off it and is now open and pourus which will rust quicker. I know there that the body can be dipped again. 2. The roof is like looking out at bondi beach, very wavey. All the hanging panels are buggerd but I have replacements for all of that. 3. I really don't have the 20k to spend to rebuild it and would rather put that towards my HQ. I have bought a sigma wagon for a replacement, so its still old with a bit of cariture. Cuzzo - I will talk to john tonight and see if he still has a set. How many are you after?
