awesome rust repair job keep it up the KE1x look good they are a toyota icon keep them going :jamie:

Got some more pics of where I'm up to now.

 

this is the current ride height ;)

I've also taken the front 1/4 panels off to work on at my place

 

here is the result of my rust removal on the vent areas

and around the fuel cap etc. pretty happy with it...

especially the drivers side.

 

 

and this is the passenger side

 

 

 

cheers,

 

Scott.

Yeah, i agree, we need more pics .... i hope you've still got it.. :D

That's cool, it is bloody difficult to find the time to do these things.

I'm sure you will bring it back to its glory... :P :P

UPDATE!

 

I got all of 1 day to work on this over Xmas.

I've now got the roof and LHS rear 1/4 ready for primer.

 

Roof before:

 

Roof after:

 

Rear 1/4 before:

 

Rear 1/4 after:

 

I've also sourced a shitload of parts for it. At this stage I'm thinking

of using:

 

Keeping the 4k (found out its a dished piston)

Factory Sprinter twin downdraft carbies (with factory air filter)

Extractors

Sprinter Tacho dash

Full original vinyl interior

 

I'm still chasing a few parts if anyone can help out:

 

1 pair of std height ke1x front coil springs

seat rails for front seats (mine have been modified)

 

I've also got some "custom" number plates for it which I shall reveal

at a later date

 

Cheers

 

Scott.

now this is a proper long term thing.

 

managed to get some primer on there in a space of 18months.

 

no doubt she'll be sweet when shes all finished.

 

i believe someone once said, "Rome wasnt built in a day" it may have been AC/DC or maybe meatloaf :y:

 

cheers, scott

you taking the piss?? haha.

 

Yeah... if i thought about it, probably actually had it for 3 or even 4 years!

 

Not going for a showroom ride, contemplating Matt blacking it. and going Green

interior, I did a mock up, check it:

 

 

Maybe a pale green though.

 

Scott.

nah scotty, wasnt takin the piss, sorry if it came across that i was.

 

definate like the idea with the matte and the green.

would be a show stopper and giv peeps alot to talk about.

 

something fresh indeed.

 

cheers, scott

Is that a KE16/18 in the background???

 

Please tell me you're saving her next........

That 16 is a lost cause, don't worry I've already been over it looking for bits to pinch haha.

 

I'll be dropping round regularly scotty to keep the motivation bug biting haha!

 

Either that or I'll take possesion of your half built project in 2 years time heh heh.

Nice name change by the way.

 

Green interioris good, I'd put a bit of black on the seats too.

All good scotty just messin with ya :cool: you were right though.

I don't want a ke10 that people think looks the same as another they've seen.

Thats why I did my ke11 the way I did too.

 

Toms right, that ke16 was long gone before I got it, its help build many others though.

- for example: Toms manual conversion.

You can rest assured knowing if it was even close to possible to be resurrected, it

would have been.

 

I tell you what, you gotta be careful whats in the background of your pics on here!!

 

Cheers,

 

Scott.

i like the green idea, its definately something different. i tihnk this is gonna start a new trend in ke10s instead of the usual matt black or white with a red vynll interior.

this thing is coming along great, you really are an inspiration, i was starting to think my car is far beyond repair but my rust was no worse than this so i guess there is still hope for Claudia XD

 

i think the matt black and green will be absolutely killer!

 

look forward to seeing more progress!

The car with matt black and green interior reminds me of the riddler? in batman!

cheers
