well for my birthday last year my dad got me a 1971 ke20 here are some pics of my first two stages of fixing it up

 

i am 16 and hve done it all myself so far with a tad of help from my dad. the boot on it is screwed and all out of shape on the left when it was brought it has been reversed into a pole or something and had a huge dent in it. my dad got most of it out but its stil out of shape. does anyone know where i could maybe get a new one from.. preferably cheap. (:

 

 

i am hoping the finished product will look something like this http://www.insightmotorsports.com.au/media/v/cust_cars/ke20/ especially with the interior would anyone know if it would be difficult to do it like that. i have no experience with cars or anything at all hah so any tips about getting a new engine and all the modifying and stuff would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

sorry bout the pictures being massive, not sure how to make it small

hah oh yeha i really like the interior of the good one so i want mine exactly like that =D

Looks good mate, KE20's are awesome little cars to work on, just not inside haha.

 

Good inspiration too, that KE20 would be one of my favourites, although it was better when it was its original mocha colour...mmm

 

Cheers, Ben.

so does anyone know anybody who is selling a boot as you could probably see its pretty much stuffed :P

Hi BENPEDDER

This used to be my old car. I worked with your dad at pedder's suspension

I owned it for a couple of months before I sold it to your dad.

The bootlid was like it when I got it, It runs a 4k 1300cc motor, originally they were a 3k 1200cc.

I own a couple of 1973 ke20's, the later model with the larger tailights and different grille.

Great to see you restoring it, keep the pics coming

Cheers, Mark. :P :P

Small world =] Keep up the good work kid. I am 16 too, you will pick up a lot of things from around here. Just if you are willing to read it and take the time to learn about things.

 

 

Good luck with it.

youve got uself a sweet base for a project.

 

you would have to be stoked its an early model aswel!!

 

looking forward to seeing the progress shots.

 

cheers, scott
