ScottKE1X Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Thought it was about time I put up a project thread. Since selling my ke11 I've felt the need to get some work done on my ke10 project. But seeing as I live 70kms from it and never get time to do anything on it i figured Id show you all where I'm up too... I Found this on the side of the road on the way home one night, it was getting ready to be loaded and taken to the crusher. So when the truck came to pick it up, i got it directed to my house instead. For a small fee. heres the specs: 1969 ke10-b white 4k with original 4 speed 95% complete. Rusty, but most contained to permanent panels. Unmodified And here's how it looked the day i got it: Rusty? these are the worst areas So, i started to strip it. Always good fun. Cut out the rusty spots, making sure I got it all Thanks to my 1967 ke10 donor car I had a panel just the right shape Welded it in Good thing I had a fire extinguiser handy, this is the roof lining on the other side of the C pillar I was welding...

Felix Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Best of luck with it. :jamie: Not worrying about the rear pillar vents? They look better without them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke11restorer Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Best of luck with it. :y: Not worrying about the rear pillar vents? They look better without them anyway. But it orginally had them? And it is used for the flow so the rear window doesnt fog up hardcore? :jamie: Someone, Please, think of the vents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 And it is used for the flow so the rear window doesnt fog up hardcore? Possibly... What did they do in the earlier ke10's? I've got 2 earlier ke10's myself (not here though), but never really had a good look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 2 earlier ke10's myself (not here though), but never really had a good look. :hmm: I dunno, but its clear that the vents go onto the back window Its either that, or to create some rear end downforce :jamie: :y: :fuzz: :lolcry: :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottKE1X Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 The vents are definately there to attempt to defog the rear window. I had a good look in there when I had the hole cut out... As doug sais, there's none on the early models (as thats where i got the metal from) and i think it looks better without them, cleaner. My ke11 rear window was always fogged up anyway, even with the vents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
