:thumbsup: What more can I say, i'm loving it already!

Don't I know... I'm only 15, therefore unlicenced, and when I was over that way, the old man let me take the VT (lowered, 17s, real hoons car) for a run around there a few times.. I can't tell you how scared I was when I drove past the copper in the Landcruiser coming the other way, I thought then that I was gunna lose my licence before I even got it :thumbsup:, especially when he looked straight at me in the eyes.. lucky though, he must have been half decent because he didn't turn around. Needless to say, I didn't go for another lap... Mad how people live on the circuit, eh!

To be honest, this is one of the most inspirational KE's that i've seen on these forums... everytime i see it, makes me want to go out and work on my car :thumbsup: You may be able to do a XF Falcon style spare wheel, in the drivers side inner guard, sitting upright, though this most probably wouldn't work due to a) sadly, pre-82 KE's have leaf springs :cool: and b) i think your putting a sub there... You could, perhaps, cut out the spare wheel well, and weld a similar (or same one, i'm not the best in the fabrication/welding game...) upside down, with a securing bolt welded to the centre, and a large wingnut for keeping it up there, similar to what you would find on a four wheel drive or pre-WB holden ute. This would then free up your floor, you could go as far as flat floors, cupboards, hell, even a kitchen sink (would make a sick sub enclosure :D).... If I was going to do up a KExx that would be my plan... I've also heard of people who want to toy around with wagon rear ends, but I don't want to ruin there achievement, so I won't bother explaining... That all said, I'm pretty sure that as long as you don't cover more than 1/4 of the spare wheel with the cupboards, you're not going to run into any problems, it should fit in and out without any problems. Toy around with a spirit level or piece of bar and you'll find out whether i'm right, or (most probably) wrong... Anyways, good luck anyway... one inspirational rolla :y: Dan.

I second that emotion :thumbsup:

Fair enough mate, good to hear the problems been sorted out... Ironically, I slept for thirteen hours and was tired all the next day after posting that I would like to be tired all the time :thumbsup: serves me right, oh well it was good for me. Sorry that your thread went to shit :cool:

Could ya give me a hand with that? :cool: Lol, it IS a minitruck dude. Surfs are based on the Hilux platform, hell, this one even runs a 2WD chassis! I class it as a minitruck :thumbsup: and a damned fine one at that...

That helps out f@$king heaps man, I wouldn't have known about this if I hadn't been told.... Now I gotta work out what the go is with heads (Can I fit a K, 4k or 5k head to up the compression on the 3k?), and I think I might just remember something about Hayabusa pistons bolting onto the K motor rods and being the right width etc.... Can any of the members give me any advice on this? Cheers, Dan.

Amen to that, brother... that reminds me, better clean my monitor sometime.... Nice car btw, must be sweet being able to use bathurst as your test track :thumbsup:

For my good luck of nothing getting hurt when doing stupid things, makes up for itself in the fact I always get caught doing stupid things :ninja:

picsorban! Good stuff!!!!!!!

That is f@$king overrated... I never could think of a colour for a rolla other than matt black or dark green, but I've got to say, that blue is sweet az!!! Is it Ford Blueprint? I love what you've done with the interior as well dude! Now just lower the bitch, paint the wheels gloss black and leave those trim rings on, and you'll be pimpin' (I hate that word)!

Hey, mate, in no way was that a positive point to you. You play the exact same role by continuing it... I feel for the poor bloke that made this thread, which is now f@$ked because of a minority. And for the potentially new members that read this shit and get worried about the 'mentality' of some of the members.

And yeah, I did argue with Trev. After thinking about it, I knew I was wrong; and I got warned by the Mod's for doing exactly that. Just so it don't get used against me. I'm tryin to be friendly btw :ninja:

And to be honest, I'd reckon that goes for ALL OF YOU - except Nick. Trev, can't you see that theres something about you thats been pissing people off - people are seeing it as a 'shitstirrer' approach; myself included, sometimes. And everyone whos been arguing with him, f@$k, all your doing is littering the forums with argumentative trash and starting up arguments in threads where there shouldn't be arguments. Warn me all you want :ninja:

So, if I have a Jap housing and diff that I want to use in a KE55(BW), its gunna be a real headf@$k to do? Thats shit, didn't realise that.

Was the 4 speed a K40 or was it the Aussie 4spd that usually backs the 202? If it was the K40, what modifications did you do to the bellhousing?

All I can say to that is... WTF! Wish I had that problem... (slight jokingness)

Yeah, I got a few, one nice big chunk out of my arm that will never not be there... bicycles are a wunder-fool thing.... And my legs have thousands of lil scars and ripples and shit... but thats what you'd expect...

Yeah, KE20s are rare as rocking horse shit in WA. I'm sure I saw this in the quokka too, Lappy. First thing I thought of it when I saw it was this....

I might give that one a shot, rb30 boy. I often can't go to sleep at night because I will sit and think about something, not be able to stop thinking of it... its a right pain in the arse. Also, if your the sort of person who always drinks coffee or coke, take cod liver oil tablets... they're tasteless, clear out whatever the thing is that all the caffiene blocks up (which causes difficulty of good sleep). Man, this thread is f@$ked. Why can't everyone get along and not argue with each other? Getting to be a right pain in the f@$king arse.

I fourth WTF to body parts... what were you supposed to do with all that sort of shit!

Damn, I didn't know that it wasn't bagged, NoPsi... How the f@$k did you live with having such a low car everywhere, damn! Shame that you had to sell her, she was a beautiful car. f@$king overrated, actually; amazed that it came to WA, I'll keep an eye out for it on the streets! And keyboard warriors, don't disrespect cars. People build cars the way they want them, not the way that YOU want them. Dan.

Angle grinder usually works for me... Any news on the 'thing' with electric windows yet?

Whoa... that things f@$king awesome, sweet az. Biggo just wants a ride in the torrie mate, ignore him :ninja: (j/k)

From what I know its a 4runner/Surf riding on a bagged and notched Hilux 2WD chassis. f@$king sweet car, you'd never find a better looking Surf.
