doripig_01 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) So i Bought the Ksev about February of 2009, dirty old 4k, standard, Got some wheels, a new exhaust, gktech wheel, and basically havent done much else to it, Finally decided its time to attack it and get it looking somewhat better than it was, so i started by finding what rust i had and figured why not get into it and sand it back to give it a new colour. decided i wanted to do an engine conversion, found a cheap CA18det engine package and have started the process of long hours of sanding, welding, bogging, more sanding, fab work, and such.. Havent got a deadline as of yet, so atm i do some work, forget about it, do some more, and so on...

doripig_01 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Few pics of the last few days, have been sidetracked a little as my mate just got himself a WB ute and we have been working on that, also put a porch up to which got ripped down by a whirlie wind, which also ripped up some hay bales and threw a water tank halfway across a paddock... so for now she will sit like this until we have the ute sorted and the porch done... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doripig_01 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 So since christmas/new years, I found a T18 diff cheap, along with some T18 front struts/brakes, Fitted the T18 diff, wired up all the relays, so its all ready to go in a sense, just need engine mounts, tailshaft put the clutch pedal in, chuck ecu in the passenger kick panel and setup a front mount, its slowly but surely getting there, just cash seems to be the main thing slowing it down.
