h1_roll4 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yay! new faces. i'd love to see all the perth members that haven't yet come on a cruise. Oh, I've got a bet running... If I win the bet, I'll be taking a 3TGTE/W55 motorvated T18 (Dan's old one)... It's currently a bare shell sitting in my shed, and I have bet that I can build it in what is effectively one and a half days... Let's see how it goes. I'm pretty darn excited about it all. should be great fun! pics if finished for sure! Ive seen the state its in. Epic if you finish it that quick.

white_sandshoe Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 well it's looking good... diff and rear suspension is in, tailshaft looks like it'll line up well(ish) and engine feels real good... Thanks to Dan's efi conversion all the wiring is in the right place already(ish) and I've finished the rack and pinion conversion... If i bail on Ken tomorrow night I'll easily finish it in time. Hey Ken, trade you a ride for a night off??? haha. I actually got stuck in traffic for an hour and then stuck in licensing center for an hour... sucks so bad... Oh well, I'm off to pull out lower control arms so I can stick the front coilovers in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiahn Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'm just retorquing my head atm and will be in with my skidders on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_sandshoe Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Ken's been kind enough to let me work in my car instead of his. I'm at the point now that I can see the definitive light at the end of the tunnel, and have been able to ascertain that it is in fact the end, and not a steam train heading my way. It's looking darn good for being fully finished tomorrow before lunch, and I'm pretty certain it'll be running tonight. Anyways, time to get some food and keep going with it. I'm having to modify things as I come across them, but this is turning into quite a successful two day build. I'm looking forward to braking something tomorrow with the amount of power I'll be putting down. hahaha. See you all there, and don't forget to have your bells on.

Let me know if you want a (extremely unskilled) hand in the morning. Can't wait to waste some rubber tomorrow :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiahn Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 that was pretty awesome, was my first time laying lines that 20 was was the most mixed up car, ke70 parts, ke30 number plate, ke20 chassis looked great tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_sandshoe Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 It was great to see so many guys come out, and the lengths they went to to get cars on the road to attend. I'm thinking either late January or early February for another one... What's everyone think of that? Next time there should be a few new additions to the lineup. I'll have at least two of my T18s and Ken should have his KE10 done by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
