simple and effect plans.

 

do u mean chrome spray or chrome dip your front end?

 

spray, can look good with the right paint, dipping will cost u more than the paint job alone.

 

the rear end in this thing is all types of wierd.

 

cheers, scott

electro plated or what ever its called just want to get the bonnet vents, them side trims on the frenders and the top and bottom metal bit on the bonnet done, grill will be gloss black.

 

going to see how much it cost, if its abit to much might just get it all painted 2pac metilic silver

 

yea thinking of putting in the diff i got and swapping the axles so i keep the 114.3 stud patten, going to have to replace the rear suspension anyway as i don't want 4x4 spec

 

exhaust is going to be $180, new muffler new resonator 2inch from extractors back. was talking to a panel beater shop and said roughly 2k-3k for a bare metal respray, including engine bay and door jams. got to take it there to get a quote.

 

also had another look under her and its got a 1peice tailshaft in it too :wink: underbody as been freshly painted so wont have to do that.

 

got to sell my 70 so i can afford paint

I vote for just painting all the plastic trims silver, chrome just doesn't look right.

 

LOL at 4wd spec, most people would consider that low.

 

I'm not sure about whitewalls with the MK3s..

 

Cheers, Ben.

HPI put out a lil book a while ago i think that featured a ke2X? that was done to autosalon spec...

 

every bit of plastic on the outside was chromed... words cannot describe how bad it was. stick to a nice silver. or the be totally different, beige :wink:

lol yea but mine isnt going to be leb spec with 20inch 200kg each wheels on it.

 

still thinking about it, i want the car to look good so thats a no to beige

 

as for the white walls and mrk3s, will test it out first see if they look good

hey mate this car is sick.........

by the way had a look under my 26 and its got a one peice tailshaft too..... so I'm guessing they come standard :wink: :yes:

lol fair enough

 

i swap that carby around and added one of the linkages off my 4agze throttle bodie so it works well but i need one of them return springs like yours has

 

also won them mrk3s and paid for them should be here in 6weeks :wink:

ok made rear door cards today, fixed throttle and mount and chucked some stockos on turns out i don't have 114.3 meh i just get the rims redrilled

 

looks like my welder shat itself so i couldn't weld up the holes for the mirrors or bonnet pin holes

 

took a pic of her running 12s, so needs chrome hubcaps and white walls and be 80mm lower at the rear

 

 

 

going to make the front doors card to arvo/night

 

and a quick question can you still buy the chrome trims that go inside the windscreen and rear window seals?

Edited July 12, 200917 yr by Roo

It would be worth while changing stud pattern then redrilling the rims

 

Use KE30/55 gear to do it,

and a quick question can you still buy the chrome trims that go inside the windscreen and rear window seals?

 

and a quick answer is yes. you can buy it from Rare Spares online.

look them up.

 

cheers, scott

just spent a couple of hours swapping centres over in my diff to find out that the open centre i put in has a different stud patten on the tailshaft and makes the tailsahft 15mm to short (slap head) looks like I'm going to have to pull it over and swap the cw&p to the open centre

 

well better go pull it back out

Doh, I hate it when shit like that happens. You can't swap the pinion input's over?

i guess i could of didnt think of that :dance: :yes: oh well its all in pieces now getting cw changed over tomorrow, as the one in the locker is 4.5 where the one in the open is 3.8

 

kind of wanted the 4.5 for her anyway so i don't mind, should be very quick in accel. good for beating them fullysick commo drivers at the lights

Have also considered the chrome look on the surrounds etc, but have been worried it

would turn out tacky. My vote would be for quicksilver or similar as I think it looks nicer than black.

 

Keen to see what you choose and how it turns out.

ok got abit bored so made a vid of the idle, due to neighbours i couldnt let it warm up so that why the idle is abit over the place but you get the idea
