SPOTTED, yellow/bamboo KE38 parked at the Forbes Park Shopping Center in Plympton about 8:20am today and Corolln, parked in his driveway:P
Yea, i would say going buy the BHG and how long it took to pop up in the dealership its had been givin s bit of stick by the previous owner. as the guy that built it sold it for $3,000 and about 6-10weeks later it was already in the dealership.
details as far as i kno:
'74 (i think) KE25 coupe deluxe
overrated black interior, some sort of wierd bent shifter?????
Ford XC orange
Fully built and balanced 7K, Turbo Head, Custom Log Manifold, Hi mount T25 (i think), drawthru weber sidedraught carb,cold air induction, 5 speed commercial trans and 3.36 or 3.55 Holden Banjo diff with fresh LSD.
Last time i saw it every alloy part in the engine bay was polished including turbo compressor housing.
The guy who built it goes by the name of Mark and was VERY meticulous (spelling?) in everything he did. apart from the BHG it would be a very nice corolla. was told by Mark that it is pumping in the reigon of 250rwhp. And yes Mark built the whole car including everything in and on the motor
yes I'm kicking myself now as i had the chance to buy it for just $3,000 which woulda included a shed fulla parts and a 5K setup for turbo which the eng# came from. But unfortunatly apprentice wages arent all that generous:( live an learn.
CHEERS
