Ke30 2door

[ROLLLA]

Well ive been searching long and hard for a decent 2 door ke30 and i finally found one which i purchased off ebay today. Its a 1974 model been resprayed blue. Apparently an apprentice spraypainter owned the car before this bloke and this was the first car he'd sprayed. So the paint is average but will definately come up shiny with a light polish. I basically was looking for one that was pretty dint free and minimal to no rust or previous damage in the rear and doors as the front half of the panels are easier to find than the back. Anyway i found her and heres a pic that was on ebay. Ill post up more as soon as i get her home and keep ya all posted with all the build up.

Nice score mate, i love the 2 door ke30's make sure you keep those pics coming. :cool:

[ROLLLA]

Well the cars home now and i only managed to give it a wash and autosol the bumpers today. Heres a few pix. It has the battery mounted in the boot, brand new carpet and brand new roof lining which i will have to fit better than what the previous owner did. enjoy :cool:

Tomorrow ill figure out why the car doesnt start. The build up will be slower as i would like this car to be a keeper for a while. I will be focussing on the interior firstly. I have a few ideas which i would like to do but please share your thoughts and ideas.. Eventually i will do an engine conversion with something more engineerable than a V6. I'm thinking along the lines of 13bt or sr20. Another good reason for this purchase is because the car is a 74 model, its pre EPA so it will pass emission tests alot easier with engineering. You basically get away with a shit load more modifications.

Decided to take out that horrid white dash that was in the car and put in a spare dash i had sitting around. The dash top has no cracks too which is an advantage :cool:

 

 

 

[KE ping it real]

Looks really nice

 

I love the colour

 

Score :cool:

[Clapped out]

That dash makes a hugh difference to the overall appearence of the interior :cool: ,

 

cheers phatke30!

Dash looks alot better, I really don't understand about the GAY white interiors thing people but in their cars.

[ROLLLA]

ye got me nackered why people try going the white theme. especially in this case where they just sprayed it with a cheap white spray paint. Well ill soon change the look of the interior. Ive pretty much decided that ill be putting in my Mitsubishi GTO seats i have in the orange rolla. then from there will be going the same black grey theme with re apholstered rear seats and door trims. Havent really had much time in the last week because ive been putting an ecotec in my mates hilux. Ill definately be playing with the car this week with updates. But I'm definately going to do things right this time :D

[Falken_KE30]

hey mate,

nice score,

do u know what that steering wheel is?

I'm looking for one the same to fit on the boss kit i have

 

Cheers

you should do the door trims in black vinal like mine, comes up alright and would suit this car i rekon.

[ROLLLA]

ye i don't mind the black vinal. thanks for the tip. Just in case ya all didnt know, i was putting my roof lining in properly. Popped out the windscreen to stick the vinal. When putting the screen bak in i leavered it with a flathead, slipped and poked myself in the eye :yes: Just thought id add that in the buildup lol just in case ya didnt read it in my V6 rolla thread haha
