Rufus Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Hi all fellow Rolla nuts. This is Woz’s dad, Josh’s Poppa (ewt). My 67 KE10 was one of the first, if not the first off the ship from Japan. I've had it since it was about 8 months old, and now I have time I want to restore it to original condition. A little bit on the history :- The car has a genuine 68,000 miles on the clock. It was on blocks in my garage for well over 20 years, and Woz and his brother pulled it out, fitted new coil and plugs, and she fired up, running on 20 year old petrol!!! Let's see a modern car do that !!!!! Drivers door on it is from a KE11-12 and doesn't match as the interior handles are different. It’s in good condition, so if anyone cares to swap I’m interested. I'm after a drivers door to match this one Parts I need: KE10 Drivers Door (Doesn't matter about the Door or Trim colour), Headlight Chrome Trims (FOUND!), 2 KE10 Hubcaps, a Front Apron, and a Bonnet. Cheers Guys, Graham. Edited March 10, 2011 by Rufus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogs Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Good to hear you are saving another one from rusting away. What are your other plans, and do you plan on doing the paint and panel yourselves ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Updates... OK folks, Things have started happening. So far I've managed to get the headlight surrounds, (Thanks Stefan), indicator lights (brand new on Ebay $15.00 the pair). Also had an offer of hubcaps. Still need a driver's door, (willing to swap a reasonably good KE11-12 door if anyone needs one) Colour of door and trim doesn't matter as I intend to reupholster the whole interior. Also need a bonnet if anyone can help, and I'm looking for a spare wheel rim as my original went walkabout. Cheers, Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
