I remember when we put the screwdriver under the window seal and found the biggest rust spot in the car. Now I look at it and couldnt be happier. Wow man thats looking unreal, good to see all your hard works paying off huh. best colour you couldve done by far too Ryan. Cheers Pete, Luc suggested to paint it with the Atomic. At first i was a little unsure. And now when i see it all painted up, I love it. Wow! Looks awesome Ryan.. You must be Stoked! Is that Atomic or Poison Ivy Green? Looks really cool in the Sunlight too! What's next as far as puting it back together to stride the roads of SA? Josh :cool: Its Atomic. With a Metric shitload (standardized measurement) of DNA green to gold colour flip. As for what's next, refer to my next post. Quote

SLO-030 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Posted September 12, 2010 Well, the rebuilding begins. Engine crossmember, Lower Control Arms, Swaybar and Radius Rods all in. Just need some KE30 steering arms, so i can fit up some KE55 struts and get the front back on wheels. Power requirements will be left up to the trusty 4k Features 20thou over pistons, Small cam (unsure of the specs) and a 32/36 webber. Only done approx 10,000km since rebuild, I do 30,000km/yr just to work and back, so 10,000km is nothing :P To be backed up by an import K50. Thanks to Jason for supplying the Engine and gearbox. Also thanks to Jasons' dad for transporting the engine. Quote
Jason KE30 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 No worries man. Hopefully when it's all hooked up it fires right up no issues. It's a k motor so I'm sure you won't have a problem ;) Quote
ke70dave Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 yeah that paint work is awesome mate, well done. looks very respectable. Quote
greenmac80 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) sway bar is the wrong way around dude. oops no its not... it was tho. lol Edited September 13, 2010 by greenmac80 Quote
Pongwow! Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 man this is jizzzzzzzzzzzzz Quote
SLO-030 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 Cheers Guys. Rear suspension should be ready to pick up tomorrow. Brand new leaves. Reversed eyes. Extra leaf. Half Traction Leaf. Lowered 20mm. Keep in mind I ordered KE30 leaves so that knocks 15mm off the ride height before lowering. As for shocks I'm still working out what i need. Wagons have a shock thats around 1" shorter than sedans. Lowered 35mm. Bringing the need for the shock to be about 60mm shorter than sedans (almost 2.5in). Opinions on what shock to use would be great. I was thinking something along the lines of sierras? Quote
