Owner: Charl Cars Name: pending! Colour: ford au regency red Engine: 4K-C, 4 speed manual Date Of Manufacture: ??/80 Model: KE55 Hardtop VIN: KE55S - 934385

i don't know, just what the guy i bought the car off of said. but its cool now. got standard seats back in and put some seat covers on them for now. theyll get a retrim later.

i noticed in the pics my rear wheels seem a bit too far in under the gaurds. any suggestions for getting them to stand out a little bit more?

Awe... come on. Its not that hard! all up it took me about 2 hours to do. Probably would have been quicker if i didnt keep going to the fridge for beers! But seriously, thanks for the positive comments!

well i promised some better pics and here they are!!

i think so

well as much as i value everyones opinions, its too late now! and installed i really like it. ended up putting it a bit higher up than in the test pic though. ill get more pics tomorrow as i ran out of daylight!

thanks admins for moving this into the right section! My car came with a shelf under the dash that had been water damaged and was pretty much useless!! i like the idea so i thought i would improve on it! the shelf itself is made of masonite and is not very strong so i am going to share what i did to make mine better. my original shelf. this is what I'm replacing the masonite with, 3mm steel sheet!! on the original shelf drill out the existing rivets so you can keep the fittings and stuff. keep these bits as youll need them later! use the original shelf to trace onto the steel sheet, trace the holes and these cut outs as well. my steel sheet was too short so i had to add a bit. you don't have to do that if you get a big enough sheet beforehand. bend the end bit up same as the original shelf, easier if you didnt use double steel on this bit!! check the fit on the plastic bit over your new shelf. re-assemble the whole thing with some new pop-rivets. get your missus to trim it for you. may as well paint these while they are out. Heres the new shelf all ready to go in. after a test fit, i realised i didnt bend the back of the shelf so out came the hammer again. installed and looking shmick as and so much stronger than the original!!

so that a good thing right?...

wow mate looks like youve got your work cut out for you on that one! can't wait to see how you make this baby yours.

yes sir you are correct!!

well ill tell you a secret... it is actually a rear boot spoiler off of a newer corolla hatchback... :wink: SHHHHHH!!

thanks, it does make sense! but the car is as low as its going to get!! on another note, whats a reasonable price for a standard 5k engine?

another poor ke10

found this 4age at the wreckers along main north road just before you get into gawler. said he would take 550 for it.

ok so heres a little something ive been thinking about... with, or without?

for shaded_shadows_KE55

on the way home from work near brahma lodge on main north road at about 7:15 i saw a white ke70 a little bit beat up with some nice rims, a mustard ke30/55 with roof racks and 2 tyres on the roof racks and all sorts of stickers all over the car, and then a white ke25? looked really schmick! all in the space of about 5 minutes...

spotted last night in semaphore parked at the pub near the tattoo studio at about 18:50 a white ke20 coupe? number plate started with rzy. looked nice and minty.

Damn, now i have to makes sure I'm logged in as me to reply to threads..... :)
