SLO-030 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Sunday's effort. Not bad for 40 something outside. Degreased the bay with a spray gun, roughed up the paint and went for it. Quite happy with myself :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLO-030 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thought Id post some pics of the difference in KE2x and 3x LCA's after i took Tally's balljoints out. pretty close to, if not exactly 15mm difference. KE2x being the longer of the two Some new lighting additions, there is another 500w light in the corner to the left. Some New dolly wheels for the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy-Yoda[RL] Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Oooh, interesting, wanna measure up the difference between 2X and 55 LCA's too? Might be a better option than running Sickma's..... :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmac80 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 30 and 55 LCA's are the same length. you can't use the 20 LCA's because the radius rod mounting position as well as the sway bar link aren't the same. trying to make it all fit would be like trying to squeeze 2, 200pound ladies through one door at the same time.

SLO-030 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I bought a KE55 on the weekend in hope of being able to use some parts. Upon stripping and removal of the shell, i found it had a bigport head ad manifold. along with a 22mm swaybar :dance: Head has been sold already, and the swaybar will be used in the wagon to replace the 19mm sedan one that was used when it was repaired. Also building an engine cradle that will allow me to position and run a K engine to be able to easily sort out first run problems. Just gotta sort me out a K series gearbox so i can cut the bellhousing off. Edited January 17, 2010 by SLO-030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
