JiP Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Posted February 3, 2008 So I drove Tabs home to my sisters house last week, the tail shaft was rattling a fair bit. The bonnet was bouncing too as the latch broke. I had zip tied it down just in case it flew up. I thought the zip tie had broken on the drive home as it was rattling heaps, but it haddn't, so I just tightened it. Worked great. I started her today, still starts after a week. I also may have tracked down the passenger side seat adjuster. Bought this on eBay... Lastly I've tracked down a rubber kit for $500 that I might buy soon. Oh and and look what fell out from somewhere under the dash while driving... Its a Tobacco Tin. Quote
Trev Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 That uni joint was very flogged out tho, Ha how did we not see the tobacco tin in there before. Quote

Its a Tobacco Tin. probably someones Cash stash once, it was about the era the 1966 decimal currency also flushed a lot of stashed cash out.(70's) elderly people didn't trust banks, kept reserves of cash so it wouldn't effect their pensions, Quote

JiP Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 I've been watching the Thia shit for a while now and yes they ahve been way overprices, but when I saw the price for this then the cheap postage I couldn't resist. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...N:IT&ih=022 Quote
Des Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Good shit, After market part which is the only reason you got one. You wont find an original one in good nick for anywhere near that price. Quote
JiP Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 Came close to telling my parents about this car tonight. They were no more than 15m away from it. But I decided not to to spare myself a lecture about "When" the shed will be built. Quote

But I decided not to to spare myself a lecture about "When" the shed will be built. Hahaha. Don't worry Jon, my missus only recently got told about my Wagon (but still hasn't seen it coz of the other car in that shed that she doesn't know about) and won't know about my 25 for a while..... She doesn't appreciate my Rolla's, so why does she need to know about them hey.... Quote

PMP020 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Posted February 5, 2008 a very tidy ke25, early model aswel. top marks for cleaning this baby up. minus 2 pionts for not adjusting handbrake ;) it will give you a better pedal feel, and it wont sound like a commodore when u pull the handbrake on. cheers, scott Quote
JiP Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Posted February 6, 2008 Here is another Quick Fix that I'm doing to help me get her on the road. Since the carpet was cut out just in the foot wells, I've bought another set of these Michelin mats. I've had a set just like these for about 5 years now and they are currently in my KE30. Hopefully they will cover all of the non carpeted spots until I get the chance to buy new carpet. Quote
