GJM85

they've got $450 on it and I offered them $250. It's at southport autorecyclers. They have 48 hrs from yesterday to respond or I have to try again. They'll wait and see if I come up anymore...

bye bye AE92 it was fun loving you and ever better playing with your bits. Hello KE20, let's see what your insides look like......

There are some engines out there, not many people talk about them out of pure fear.... i've only ever heard of a few round these parts and they call them, freaks....... DUN DUN DAHHH!!! Nobody knows how they come to be. Whether they were abuse as children, seen there parents murdered with a axe or if the man in the chair poked them in the head with an oversize mill bit. They're what some call the 1 percenters. You can find em in the beater boxes or in a new ride, all I know is you treat em' nice and they shit all over you. You give em hell and they'll love you for it. DUN DUN DAHHH!!!!

You don't really need to flare the guards with those wheels. You''ve increased your wheel track plenty just by dishing it out. I'd go low and stiff from here, but each to there own. Also you don't want to put your wheels at risk by using spacers. As for the blower... side drafts don't blow so good. I'm going with a sc12 on my 20 but using a 1n3/4" SU carb. Not too hard to set up. For a blow through carb set up all you'll need is a aircon crank pulley and mount from a k motor and the blower. You'll have to match a top pulley to the pressure you want run and pressure seal your webber. Set up your piping and your just about good to go. Just don't let the 5-0 pop your hood for at least 3 years. I'm going with a draw through set up where the blower sucks through the carby. SU's are good for high velocity delivery and there will be no need for pressure sealing it.

made an offer on a 88 liteace 5k for the build. fingers crossed.

Do you know what the paint colour and code is?

nice ride man. nice ride.

yeah, dad went in today with some photos and apparently its ken who'll be doing the car. dad said he was wrapped.

Not entirely sure when the 55 will be here. Gotta pay the man and then organise to get it towed down from Caboolture. Expensive. The 20 is going in for panel work on Monday. :dance: :dance: Apparently shouldn't take more than a week or two. :dance: :dance: I've got the next two weeks off starting Monday :laff: so I guess i'll try and get it down early next week once the 20 is out of the shed.

Just won the ke55 for $661. Say hello donor car.

Just came across this a few months back. Tried to get a handbook from the Trans Dept. and they were all like, "we don't hand them out anymore. you can download it, so yeah..." and I was all like, " well LAH DE DAH!" so yeah here it is.... Light Vehicle Modifications Guidebook Probably worth pinning this thread...... and also they state on the front page that it is only a guide.

From the Queensland Government's Modifications Guide.pdf

I take it there still his wheels then.

Happy with today's effort. Cheers Dad and Nick. ;) Got the windscreens out. Was easier than I first predicted. Rust in three corners in the front window sills and none at all in the rear. Pulled the fuel tank. Mananged to get most of the dash out though I missed the photos. It's going to be f#$ked trying to get that and the lume all back in. Pulled the lume obviously. Got the front guards off and they are pretty clean. The only think left under the bonnet is the master cylinder and brake lines, fuel lines, accelerator cable, heater hoses and the steering column and rack. The rack is sweet. Has been rebuilt in the last few years i'd say but i'll rebush it anyway. Remaining under the dash is the heater box, wiper motor and arms and can't really think of what else. I figure if the body guys need to take anything out, i'm sure they'll manage. I'm going to stay with standard steering, use the 55 struts and brakes, gearbox, diff and rear drums from the donor car i've found. Dad will shorten the difff for me. I'll use the K50 gearbox, get the flywheel milled with a HD clutch Under the hood will be a 5k, balanced through and through, good pistons, big port and polish, solid lifters, cam and extractors with a 2inch exaust. I'll feed it with a sc12 blower running 6-7 psi and a 1n3/4" SU in the draw though style. If i don't manage to find a good 5k i'll use the 4k that's laying around, bore and deck the block and run oversize pistons but it will be a sacrafice in torque and power probably too. With the cam i'll be looking for something with next to f#$K all over lap, quick lift and long duration. Colour, i'm looking for something dark blue possible the saphire blue from the 72' toyota colour scheme. I'll go black under the hood with a blue, black and chrome colour scheme. Interior is still a bit undecided. I will keep as much original design as possible but i really don't like the willow green and baby poo colour scheme it has. Think maybe dark grey carpet & light grey roof lining, blue and black dash or something. Not real sure just yet. The wheels. Just happened upon a set of 13"x 6" cheviot meshies. They came off JP's KE70. I'm gonna use them though he doesn't know it yet. I'll get them cleaned up, polished and powder coat the centers. Colour unknown at this stage. Hopefully get the KE20 into the shop this week. I'll get the 55 in and stripped in the next week or two. Thanks for keeping up.... here's some pics.

You should see if Des still wants the 3k and 4 speed for his KE10. If he does, maybe you can trade him some AE71 gear.

Today i'm going to finish clearing the engine bay, pull the lume, the dash and have a chop at the windscreens....

touch boobs.... need i say more.

L-muthaf@$kinwicked-O...... .......save your pennies.

Beer, bbq, breaker bars & bitches. ;) That's how today unfolded..... minus the bitches. It just sounds better that way. Would like to start out with a few big thankyou's to the pit crew, Chris (Undertaker), Keiron, Nick, Ryan (bbqist) & JP (CA_ROLLA). You guys rock. Also I final thankyou to Jen for staying home with the kids. :) :) ;) A lesson for those who want a low low ride. Don't flip your leaf springs. It shears nuts and bends U-bolts. :bash: Managed to flip them back though missing nuts off the left rear spring mount, a left side U-bolt and a couple of bolts off the front right spring mount. Took a good few hours but managed to get the arse back to grandma spec. BIG. Pulled the tailshaft while I was under there. JP started on his 70, which you'll see a build thread soon but stopped to help us work the gearstick out. Meanwhile the crew started under the hood. Or so we thought, removed the radiator and mount, the beaver panel and anything else that was in the way. Had a problem with a gearbox mount bolt but Dad helped us out with the impact driver and breaker bar. Pulled the donk & Ryan blew an O-ring. :blinks:... The 3k and 4 speed is now for sale. Spot it in the sales forum. :rock: Here's the pics....

I'm afraid my grandma spec smell will go with the old upholstery.... ;)

hopefully get down to the shed today to get some more done. today's goal is to return the rear springs to where they are supposed to be, get the front and rear windscreens out and hopefully get the 3k and 4speed out................if the wife ever gets out of bed.

my car smells. It smells of that musty old smell you can't buy. That smell only your grandma leaves. That smell I just paid for.

well played but the blower i'm talking about will blow the skin right off it.

looking to supercharge a 5k. seems to be the best bang for my buck whilst keeping a degree of originality. Anyone know the ideal cam specs for blown k motor>?

looking into blown 5k. Just found a 55 on ebay, need the driveline...... made a bid. winning. :dance: :fuzz: :)
