ke55_sr20turbo

Hey guys, Wayne gave me some rims for our anniversery.. AWWW.... :laff: May have just gotten my hands on a 7K, we'll see. :D

Not yet. As we'll all probably agree we are at that busy but jolly time of year. So not much is going to happen the next few months but once we clock over 2010 i'll be working like crazy to get her done! It'll be an overwelming feeling to see her on the road! :S

Hey, Here are some more pictures.

Thanks guys. I was so excited that i took this pic when it was still dusty from spraying. I'll get some better photos of it in the light soon! :y: :)

STARTED LAYING DOWN COLOUR!!!

Sorry Guys. Yes has been a while. more so trying to help Wayne finish his 55 rather then working on my own. But all in due time. thanks.

Heres A nice clean one mick after finding a rag.... :y: Now it truley is nice to see an old rolla striped back WITHOUT finding bog :lolcry:

Adam. Sorry that of all people and there cars that this had to happen to you. I think everyone has spoken. IT IS TIME!!! REBUILD A NEW AND BETTER BABY! everyone is going to pitch in when you need and ask for it!

Hey, I know very well about the work involved in any conversion. I would love to put them in there one day. but not for a looonnnggg....... while. I am going to rebuild the 4k maybe put a tiny little turbo on it. for the moment the engine bay is being sprayed so I can put the engine back in and that way its easier to take it to the spray booth.

Hey, Grinded back the wield and made smooth. Finally found a good passanger door so I can now get rid of the rusted one. As you can see, I'm still working on that rear corner. Last time we had a go at it with the fibre glass and bog... This time we got rid of that and actually tried weilding it. Now we just gotta work on getting it smooth. LOL! See, The new Ford Festiva panels can come in handy... :bash: used it to mend the rear quarter. Painted the subframe black. Soon we shall be painting the engine bay dropping the 4k back in so it's easier to take it to the spray booth. Found Some of dads parts lying around the shed... should I put this stuff in the KE55??? 4 Link 9" 31 Spline, Full Spool Centre out of an ex Pro Stock car. I should find some GT35 Garrets to go with it what do you's reckon? Cheers.

Hey Guys, Corollas still going slow .... :yes: I get my P's back on the 18th of this month so I bought a new car to drive in the meantime. 1980 200B Datsun. Nice and clean, extremly well looked after. Cheers.

No Probs. It was a good turnout!

Heres Some Photos.

The box is open on the drivers side. I am also going to cut a section out of the front panel which is right behind the headlight and then I also have another plan which I may try to do and I will put up pics when I do it. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the bottom corner further to the front of the car and put a pipe from there to where the bumpe bar comes through the front end. Do you think that will be a sufficient flow of air? :y: I hope so. OOOOOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSIIIIII. Just realised my girlfriend wa logged on and not me. Oh Well.

see you on the day.

LJ Torrie...

Is that even the standard bonnet? its definatly way bigger than a corolla. so many 1970 vechiles have the same bonnet profile as that. thats not much of a good clue andrew! so... the guessng continues.

Gee, ... Not quite sure what it is but it has exactly the same bonnet profile as the 1972 oldsmobile toranado? or close to the ss chevelle? but I reckon it could be a TC Cortina?

Hey, Just been migging up some holes. Just gotta grind back into shape.

the KE30 would look awesome with the dragways on it. my fault it got stolen.

Well I sanded the bits I could which apparantly is pretty bad for it anyway, then put the paint stripper on for maybe... half hour then hosed off with a pressure washer. Primed it then went arrr... shit. so yeah sucks ass. havnt seen many bonets the same though, well where i am from anyways, but gotta find one.

Slowly More Work... Bonet Warped When Paint Stripping. Also filled in all badge holes and Antena Holes. As Usual back right hand qaurter panel is rusted out completely. gotta borrow a mig to fix that soon. I have picked a sky blue metallic, it's by protec paint. looks awesome.

Hey Guys Lots of News, Well first things first. Had a car accident and totaled the KE70. Then whilst going to pick up a car trailer within 3 and a half hours the KE70 Got stolen!!! :P Lost 2 of the boyfriends drayway rims and his car, that I now owe him. kicking myself!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Yeah alot to go. No i havnt picked a colour yet..... theres are few i like but depends I'm waiting on samples. got a few in mind. i'll let you all know soon enough!

Hey, The camber on that is nuts! & I love the blue finishings on top. matches your cam gear. I wonder what you got planned for the raidiator??? That is one nuts 55!
