canna Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Polish it looks pretty shitty as you can see but here’s the after shot.  I used etch primmer before my dad painted the engine bay in ford blood orange So I had a good 4k engine and 5speed box out of a ke70. So I decided to paint the engine and polish parts of it Before.  After Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiP Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Very nice man. Great work on that engine bay and engine. Looks HOT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canna Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Thanks for all the great comments dudes. I had her for a month. Soon as I got her home I and my mate Tim had the engine and box out within an hour. But I’ve been working on her every weekend and if I finished work early. But my dad has helped heaps it’s at his work shop and has got all the tools there to do a good job. Not going to do much with the old girl, as it just for a daily. Wait till I start my early ke20. Paint the body same as the engine bay. Not sure about rims or size. A lot of work is going in to the body to get it straight as possible. But hopefully before ill have it on the road by Christmas. heres some more pic   redbull it give it wings   on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
