Thanks Ryan, Deffinatly come a long way. 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.

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.

As for what's next, refer to my next post.

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.

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 ;)

yeah that paint work is awesome mate, well done.

 

looks very respectable.

sway bar is the wrong way around dude.

 

oops no its not... it was tho. lol

man this is jizzzzzzzzzzzzz

Fark yeah thats amazing man

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?
