November 2, 200817 yr comment_286750 can you get 7 letter plates in WA? You could do [DOGHAUS]. Report
November 3, 200817 yr comment_286794 oooooooh yeh! This is coming along. Block looks excellent. So so bright! Can't wait to see update pics of the painted body. This car makes me feel happy :jamie: :D :D Edited November 3, 200817 yr by Chobis Report
November 19, 200817 yr Author comment_291526 Genuine KE10 glove-box handle arrived earlier this week, thanks a lot Paddy. I think I got more excited about that than most of the other bits :jamie: Spoke to AJ (Brother-in-law doing the paint at 'Smash & Restro, Goomaling'), body in getting the final coat on Saturday!!! Interior is nearly finished painting, engine bay still needs a bit more rubbing back. All in all sounds about 2 weeks away!! Engine just needs the kits for the new carbies, new cam, piston rings, might buy a new water pump. Are the 3K water pumps different to the 5K?? Have someone who might be interrested in sponsoring her, I was thinking $3K (Borg warner diff conversion) and they can put their name down both sides? The company in question has a red line under their name and use red and white as their colours, so should look quite good. Report
November 19, 200817 yr comment_291530 Mate, I got excited when I saw the revised title of this thread. I was hoping to see pics of a fresh white KE10. I feel ripped off! :jamie: Hehe...... I guess I have to wait a bit longer but I reckon this is gonna be one awesome car. As for the sponsorship, I have never been a fan of that stuff on cars..... however, it means you can make the car a bit more fun.... and..... at least red and white will suit well with the car. Either way...... I can't wait to see the end result of this car. Report
November 19, 200817 yr Author comment_291532 Will be getting pics over the weekend. Hoping to submit a couple for the calendar. The sponsorship thing is just pie in the sky at the moment, but I think it may get a bit more serious when I can show them a car... still, I'm only dealing with a company rep at the moment who wants me to continue to spend thousands of $$ per week with them :jamie: The bosses might not be interrested at all...

November 22, 200817 yr Author comment_292161 OK.... not getting pics until Monday when extirior is finished and dry :( it's killing me! Gearbox is painted red, turned out ok Interior, boot, engine bay are getting finished this week... Car is coming home next weekend! :) Will take a couple thousand pics... :bash: Oh, and the engine rebuild is starting next weekend. Edit: I think I'll start a new thread when I get the car back?
