WE didn't get the 4 door until '71

I don't think you need longer studs, just a standard shank 12mm 1.5 mag nut

Dad reckons they will be fine as well so i will see how it goes.

 

Should be getting the front end bits next weekend/23rd to be precise.

 

I'm looking at buying a MIG welder as well, Any suggestions ?

 

Des :)

Best one you can afford dude.... the cheap ones are really terrible... the wire gets stuck and the amperage is irregular and blah blah... get a gas mig if you have the cash they do a much better job.

Difference between a sedan and a coupe. The rear end of a coupe is more streamlined.

 

For example.

KE10 2 Door Sedan

KE15 2 Door Coupe

KE20 2 Door Sedan

KE25 2 Door Coupe

KE30 2 Door Sedan

KE30 4 Door Sedan

KE35 2 Door Hardtop Coupe

 

Cause it would be silly for the KE20 & KE25 to be called coupes

buy a gas/gasless (helps if your stinjy and run out of gas), ive got a mini mig, wasnt too dear and is really good to use, comes in handy a lot

Got any more info on ya MIG or a link ?

Flux core (Gasless) is no good for sheetmetal (I.E. rust epair on panels) Mine is a bitch and it's not clean. Fine for thicker guage stuff

The sprinter is the coupe, Des's is a 2-door sedan. They also came out in 4-door sedan. That was overseas though. lol i guess thats being a bit pedantic though.

 

if you want to see a example of the four door, check out my project post

Spent about an hour outside today.

 

I need longer studs.

13" alloy jelly beans

Will be running these for a while.

Grille.

18 rims and tires, 14 of them fit my Corona :P

Yup

Inverted jellybeans = dish and loads of negative offset but not safe.

I'm sure this isn't legal

 

Hey Des how hard are those grills to find if I wanted one? I like the simplicity of it compared to the ke series grill

He found it only by luck. We were at a wrecker that had KE20 parts and asked if there was another wrecker near by that also stocked KE20 parts, They sent us to one up the highway. Once there he asked if the had a KE10 grille and BAM, he had one.

 

Best bet now a days are car forums or chasing down the elderly as they drive around in their KE1X's.

Mine is for sale as this project wont get finished, Pm me if interested.
