SLO-030

Thanks again guys!! Fusion, I may be a meanie with a KE38. But least i got a 38 :D

i dunno, didnt know time went back that far :P Just realised, I'm getting more of a happy birthday here that from my family....

Id put fuel consumption worries directly down to the tyres. Remember, its only 1.5lt's turning 31 inches of rubber and steel. Mainly in stop/start situations where you need to get them going from a standing start, once your going inetia helps out.

Hahaha, your getting there :laff: Cheers man :)

Booking plane tickets to commence aformentioned karate chopping of Beau's neck.....

Spotted Mitch and his 20 at the BP in blackwood this arvo. Looked awesome

Thanks Guys. Feelin it. Gotta get my wagon done before i get as old as that Luc dude......whatta fossil. Happy 21st for a while ago Luc

I know it, you know it, everyone knows it......This car is TOUGH. Love the stance, the convos and even the colour is doin it for me!!

You'll need the tailshaft out of an early KE30 (74-77) Difference is the flange where it bolts to the diff. rest of the taishaft is the same. 1 thing to watch out for is that the splines on auto and manual gearboxes is apparantly different. So if you have a manual, grab a manual tailshaft. and visa versa.

Your telling me Josh!! Some days i wake up and think "hmm, wonder if the elves finished the wagon for me?" But its a big learning experience for me. Just want the body work to be out of the way. Oh, and if anyone comes across a VGC passenger front 1/4. please let me know. its the only panel I'm missing at the moment. Scoping out for door and window seals aswel, figured id get a bit of info on em rather than going out and buying the first ones that pop up. Who have people found to be the best? a few out of thailand and singapore seem a bit too cheap. Phil's Rotarys is another ove checked out. $180 for 4 door seals. Seems a bit excessive, but really its only $45 per door. Opinions wanted.

A little more work today. got the 5K sitting in the bay on mounts. Decide to start figuring out wher the wires would be run. At that point i realised i was meant to call up the wire suppliers abot 3wks ago :D Sorry Jono. Also decided i don't like standard K engine mounts. Looking at them, the design seems to encourage tearing of the rubber :D Hmm, just another project i spose. Modified shifter hole seems to be in the right spot, now that i have an engine in there to get the gearbox in the right spot.

don't do it man. you've come so far with it. If future plans involve a dirty nissan engine or rotary, i swear i will come over there and karate chop ya neck.

Fixed :)

GOLD!!!

Too late Mick-o, already put my name down on whats left after matts done with it :)

Weight for a 79 manual KE38 CHEERS Ryan

probably a good chance the windows are made of Lexan. There is a van in the US that does all that db comp stuff. Has lexan windows around 1 inch thick. serious stuff.

Even if the undercoat and filler do absorb some filler, as long as it has time to dry it should be ok?

Imagine explaining the fact he neudered himself to a future gf/missus?........ "It all started when i got on the meow meow"

Its automotive stuff. But I'm sure i can get boxes of almost any type your after. Yea, if i knew thats what you were going to buy i woulda chucked ya a couple tubes.

Looks assum man :)

Did a bit more work to this thing this arvo. Stripped back part of the tailgate, just need to fix up a problem areas then its ready to get primed again. Contemplated cleaning out the interior and start getting that ready for some work. Motivation for body work atm is nil :) Going to get in contact with the uppolsterers that did the interior of my ute soonish, to see if they can hook me up with the same material for the head lining and rear seats and door trims.

If it helps, I'm getting my block machined by Charlick engine services in Brighton. And you wont need to modify the tailshaft when changing to a 5spd.

Just another search result from Evan googling scrotums? :) All i can say for that guy is OUCH.

Lookin good Tally :) Shoulda let me know you were after some Sikaflex. I got boxes of the stuff...
