the rear parcel shelf you can do yourself. i did my own one piece out of some masonite i had in the garage. you can also do it in two pieces with MDF or something thicker and cover it with a rug or carpet after installation.
your dash pad could either be repaired/recovered to look like new for $300 or so. the one in my 20 has just been carpeted over hiding the cracks below
yeah, don't believe everything you see in pics. it's absolutely shocking, like it should be...being a KE and all :(
it'll probably take a few (3 or so) more weeks to get this back on the road, and another 2 after that to get time on the dyno for a tune and jet swap (if needed)
well, you missed me being late, alot of cleaning and painting, swapping stuff between engines, pizza, drinks, and getting to hear a kangaroosa's 4k with big cam idling with twin 40 dellortos (for about 10 seconds)
well, since you're bringing the 7k rolla, just leave the 7k behind and i think that will be fine ;)
it'll look much nicer in the ke26 out the back :lolcry:
honestly, we should have everything...pizza money if you stay that long should be all you need.
all the goodies will be arriving on saturday, courtesy of no less than 5 members :lolcry: should be an interesting evening of (insert a substance here) fuelled fun...
can wait to see everyone again and hear my car run...
since you got the te27 over there, that would be your first choice, since the XE2X had the same front ends.
if you can't get hold of one, you could just cut the mounts off the te72 cross member you have and put them onto the ke20 one you have.
anytime in the arvo Matt...3:30-4pm should be others arriving. you're more than welcome before hand to help with some spraying :dance: pizza isn't free....you gotta work for your food when you go bush HAHA :)
and directions, just check mrmoparman's post :dance: i would give a proper address, but i just know it as the house with the valiant.
i've also just found out that i've got paintballing happening at 1pm this saturday, so i'll be there early for a bit, bailing, and returning sometime after 3 depending on the situation...
funnily enough, there's no right turns needed once you get on the westgate freeway to get to nobblers place!
and if you do turn right, you'll end up in sydney soon enough! HAHA
oh, and cam, if you don't forget to bring the foot pump, i won't forget to take it from you this time :lolcry:
as it appears, there'll be a few people coming for the hike out to our (humble) region leaders' house.
so might as well turn it into a free for all...
if you're able (or wanting) to get out on saturday with no excuse, we have one for you.
Place: Bacchus Marsh
When: Saturday 21st June 2008
Why: Because you can (and help put a car toget.........drink some piss and eat some pizza)
Time: Whenever you arrive after noon....
Mr. Peter, edit this if you will/need
cheers dF
i'll try and be as helpful as possible.
know that i know what the intended purpose is, which should've been the first thing you said, you can either spend +$1000 on an aftermarket kit from the states or a locally put together one that will "bolt up".... or you can custom make brackets and other bits to put commodore discs, hubs, calipers onto the existing struts.
regardless of which v6 you're throwing in, steering should still be plenty manageable with the standard setup.
the tacho dash needs to be paired up with the 3 gauge heater control panel, which has oil temp, water temp and something else i can't remember :P
(most likely fuel gauge)
grub screw on the choke lever/knob, remove the black plastic knob, unscrew the nut from the dash, pull choke thru into the car (once you've disconnected it from the carby)
install new one in reverse
