wow gavin i am speechless love the collection mate , can't wait to see the blue one finished

Gav you are a true inspiration :)

I'll have the blue one please!

The blue KE10 was just going to be detailed but i ended up pulling it appart to get into all those nooks and crannies. I removed all the bright work & lights, side glass, all the interior and everything from the engine bay except actual engine.I had to replace the front apron because it was bent and i also had the wheels repainted but other than a major detail of all the bits the car is still basically unrestored.

Jesus that's neat!! So that's a factory colour? I've only seen the dark blue before..

 

I still love that ke17 as well! Have a photo of it saved on 3 wheels :D

finally going to get my ass into gear and get the ke10 painted, organising it when I'm back in tassie next week. only needs painting and somewiring done and then swap the red interior out of the donor into it to be finished. can't wait to get it brappin away!!

Hey guys! Will be picking up my KE10 on Fri and this is my first classic/vintage/old car. Who is the best insurer to go with? Will upload pics once I get my hands on her! Cheers!

Just thought I would share some pics of my new ol school ride I bought last week from a guy here Reed, nice guy. He was pretty emotional about selling the car. And I know why.....I love it!!!

 

 

Future plans are to upgrade engine to possibly 4AGE 20V, new wheels (14 inch), full respray and suspension upgrade. Would like some suggestions for hot wheels for the KE18 (pics welcome).

 

So far all I have done in the past 10 days is clean the shit out of it and polished the chrome (Cut and machine polish next weekend). Ordered a new OMP steering wheel and quick release.

 

Hope you all enjoy these pics I took today. PS: Yes Reed I'm looking after him...... :y:

 

Cheers,

Steve
