82 ke70

life story:

it cost me 2 cartons of beer and was sitting in a padoc for a year, it was previously used as a bush basher but they obviosuly didnt give it a reall hard time, it still had a radator full of fluid and sump full of oil.

 

got it going for a while but the fule pump was rooted and the tank was full of rust anyway, so we found a mitsubishi magna with a in tank pump and straped the tank in the boot and hooked up the lines.

 

then the next drama, the roof was wobbling like shit, so we put some strapping over top which didnt help. so in the end we just screwed the roof to the roll cage. the roof supports iscracked in places and still makes a *** loud rattling noise when driving so one day i might have to swap the running gear into a ke30 wagon shell that i have.

 

current stuff:

home made roll cage

4 point harnesses (cost twice as much as the car)

coustom fule tank/pump setup

home made sump gard

no glass, door linings, carpet, back seat, boot lid, parcil rack (rusted off), back lights

coustom paint job

 

mabey in the future:

welded diff

cut falcon springs all round

hold the roof down stuff

Awesome! Another member of the basher brigade!

 

I'm going to guess the harnesses cost you 4 cartons? :bash:

 

To solve the rattly roof issue: 9 inch grinder and 5 minutes........ :y: Take the sucker off.........

 

Don't bother re-shelling until it falls apart around you...... ;)

 

More action pics are needed (I request pics of the rollcage, putting one in mine soon), and vids when you do something epic........

 

 

Have fun, Yoda.

Nice paddock basher, i was going to use mine as one but then i found out it was fwd.

 

I seen a ke70 right hand head light for 5 beers, I bargend him to 3 beers for ya.

This is just proof once again that rollas can't be killed..

Love the custom paintjob too.
