ke70dave Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Material posession it may be, but it physically represents all the time, money, blood, sweat & tears you've put into it. So being sad is perfectly acceptable :wink: May I enquire as to why it had to go? Don't tell me you've fallen for a dirty Neesan :lol: well i bought an s15 in November last year. so sort of dirty nissan .....with the intent of turning the ke70 into more of a track car, but i just didn't have the time:( and the poor blue car was just sitting there wasting rego as i never really drove it at all. the s15 has absolutely no character though, where the ke70 was full of character. that's what i'm going to miss about the ke70 the most i think! Plans for another any time soon? to be honest id like to start another project, but maybe something a bit more classic. ke70 was cool, but nothing really special (no offence all you ke70 owners!). if i could get my hands on a 2-door datsun 510 that would be sweet, or maybe an old 260z? something with some cool classic lines..... even an old ford cortina maybe? escort would be cool also. and it would be the kind of project where i would do it all properly, spend 4 weeks on painting, not 4 days. since the ke70 never came off the road for more than 1 week in 5yrs, all the work i did on it was always quick, would have been nice to spend more time and make it perfect. unfortunately at this stage project cars are out, as not much room at my current rental, and fairly sure I'm not allowed unregistered cars anyway. Beats crashing it bud. Farewell blue rocket. :thumbsup: thanks mate, i think i bought a good percentage of the parts off you for this thing! Did you have a name for her Dave? I could not see through the thread no real name as such..... i always refered to it as "the ke70" or "the blue car", or back when it wasn't painted "poo car" or "poo ke70".... when i first met my girlfriends mum, she called it "the old blue car", and i quickly snapped back, "more like 'awesome blue car'"....so 'awesome blue car' sort of stuck in that family.

67Rolla-Ken Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 All the best with the next adventure, classics are fantastic to cruise in :) I think I'd have to go on bereavement leave if me and 67Rolla ever parted ways :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 even an old ford cortina maybe? escort would be cool also. I have been chasing a 2 Door Mk1 Cortina, and do what i did to the rolla with a 13B in it My mates family has a total of 5 in the family, like I'm gonna get one of those, haha So stick to the 510 or 260Z i say, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 hehe. i have 2 brand new (or very close to, look pretty good to me.) 12a housings in my garage. along with a polished front cover. ive had them for years, and i would love to build up a turbo 12a and put it into something old and classic.... really annoy the purists. 2 door datsun might be the choice;) given the ridiculous amount of awesome aftermarket parts available for the 1600/510 cars.

GTR32 Brakes and Wheels with semis, paint it creme, polished half cage with CF backed Sparco's, takata harnesses in green :yes: :yes: :yes: and put your washing machine engine in it How easy does that sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedSpirit Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Keep it toyota! MK 2 Corona coupe. Add a 1jz since they take an inline 6 well, and you have a Z beater! I love the body of a MK 2 Coupe. Especially the front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
