Jip's Ke25 - Tabitha

Recommended Posts

Here we go again. I've bought another car. :lolcry: I really don't know where to stop do I.

 

I know a lot of you have been wondering who bought that KE25 that was at the Ipswich wreckers up here in Queensland. Well I'm happy to say it was me and I'm making it official. I kinda don't know what I'm doing venturing into uncharted territory as I'm use to dealing with the KE3X/5X's. Thankfully she is pretty much complete other than a couple of bad spots.

 

So... I've taken a few brief shots of the car showing what she looks like in her present state. I'll take more on Friday after I have her cleaned up and polished like I have done with all my cars.

 

Tho dusty, the body looks great!!

Toyoglide!! and maybe a spot for a tacho?? If not I might try to track down a stock tacho dash, but doubt I'll find one.

Well done I am so glad You saved that from the crusher, that car will clean up nice.

 

Look in the background 2 ae82 corolla seca's, Have You been hiding something else from us?

 

I had to talk him into it when we went to look at it.

 

Nah they are mine, It was taken to my house as I'm only about 2km from the wreckers and i had the room to store it.

thanks guys. Um... future plans... :D

 

I'm going to start with simple things. Like rego and having rust cut out of the front quarters. Carpet and dash restored. White Venetian Blinds and whitewalls with hubcaps. Might even try redwalls.

I'm also thinking of an upgrade to a 5K the the current engine isn't bad. Now I haven't mentioned the engine that it currently houses. It has a 4K which I might keep for a while. As for the paint... I'm leaning towards white with Pearl.

 

Any more thoughts??

 

Hopefully Friday i'll have more pics posted of the car cleaned up.

 

**EDIT** Also, does anyone have a pic of what KE25 hubbies look like??
