I found this pic of my old KE70. She was great fun to drive. Model: I think 1984 Model - Slant front Motor & Driveline: Stock 4A 1.6L with 32/36 weber. Locked diff. Suspension & Brakes: cut springs and stock brakes Wheels: I think they were 15" Sparkos

After 7 Years of build time its finally on the road. Its been great cruzing and finding a lot of teething issues along the way. Front wheel bearing carked it on my first lap out. She is running pretty good except for the brake booster needs a rebuild as the diaphram if wearing and the weber needs some new jets and tuning. I know the 32/36 weber is a bit big for the 4K, but what jetting are all the 4k drivers using? Passenger control arm was also rooted where the lower ball joint fits. Had trouble finding a second hand one but a mate had a mate who had a set of racing arms with camber adjustment did the job. Looks awesome but need some adjustable strut tops.

Awesome 72'. I love the height. It can never be too low. lol. :y:

Sweetest build. Any updates?

Finally got my finger out and getting close to finalising the interior. Got the new dash in. Cheers to Raven for organising that. Ran some new cables down to the boot and installed the new underlay and carpet mould on the weekend. Oh and got the rear windows in, although I'm missing 2 of the chrome dome nuts that hole the windows in and had to use standard bolts. Can't find these parts anywhere :bash: .

Sweet 20..... No doubt with that planned power you're gonna throw in something like a Hilux diff?

Have you considered giving it a go yourself. You can buy the hardware to spray your whole car for about $300 bucks and paint for another about $200. Just need a clean sealed area (carport or garage with plastic drop sheets) and about 50 hours of your own time. I've seen heaps of guy on rolla club do some great jobs backyard style. There is heaps of vids on the net that can show you lots of tips. Good luck with it.

Finally pick up some vinyl and have been working a bit more on the interior this weekend. I pretty happy with the end result.

Shmico ride...its gonna be nuts with the 5K.

Damn HOT 70...... :y: Have you raced on 1/4 mile? Times?

Cheers Davo..... The bog has come in handy. When you heading to Sydney next?

:y:

Great effort... she polished up nice. I agree with ya mate....painting a car is mission, especially at home. But the end result is magic.

The paint looks awsome....bangin build dude. Can't wait to see this 20 finished. :y:

TRD Shocks sound pretty cool. Who distributes them is Aus? Update: Started some cabling in the drivers door and installed all the rubbers, glass and Central door locking.
