Ok so I paid for this tonight and it will be getting picked up by my towie by the end of the week!!

 

Originally I was buying it for parts for my brother in laws 20 but after looking at it tonight I might have fallen for it.

 

A few ideas I had for it:

 

1. Hillclimb/Track Day Special/Drifter/Super Sprinter

2. Mild Street/plus no.1

3. Street Car

4. Cut it in half and turn it into a trailer

5. Summernats Special Convertible

 

Might be too much work to sort out rego to get it back on the road which is why some ideas don't involve rego. When I get it here I will be able to make more of an idea of what to do with it.

 

Some options for engines include:

 

1. 4AGE 20V (I know I know already done that with my other car)

2. 13B J Port with Weber

3. Hot 5K

 

So yeah plenty of ideas and probably still more to come!!!!

 

I want it to be a budget build so that might throw most ideas out the window ;)

 

The only pics I have so far:

 

 

 

I know - doesn't look like much but all the trims, lights, bumpers etc come with it :D

Great car :D

 

For the plans you've got, why not go a regular 4A-GE? Unless you turn it into a trailer... ;)

No.4 No.4 No.4 No.4.

 

You know you want to Luke.

How many KE20s u got now man? didn't you get that green one off ebay? surely that was a better base??? seen ur wrecking thread, which one are you wrecking?

Green Ebay machine is happening :D It will be on the road in the next few months ;)

 

I have two now, and mixing and matching parts from each of them. Some parts will be surplus to requirements therefore the wrecking thread.

 

I'm on the hunt now for as many 20's as I can get my hands on regardless of the condition :D

 

This shell is actually quite clean and straight so I have mixed feelings about it. Originally it was going to be chopped in half but I don't know if I can :P

Hey Luke

 

I recon you should wait til you get a hold of this beast and see if it a resto,

only chop it if you run out of other options...

 

You could buy a shitter and swap all the parts over seeing its a clean shell

 

Scott.

Have just seen some new pictures, I'm LOVIN IT |blink|

It's slightly lighter now!!!

 

Chopped it up today, and before you guys get all patriotic this thing was rooted BEFORE I chopped it

haha, it better have been rooted!! |blink|

 

Does that mean you got so excess parts??

 

so make one have a trailer and the other half a BBQ, Couch or Esky??

 

Post the pics!!

You read my mind Scott!!! I was thinking of scrapping the front half but maybe it would suit as a BBQ!!

 

Yeah the car was fair rooted for some reason parts of the roof were buckled, looks like it had been on it's lid at some stage! Also plenty of rust in the front chassis rails etc this thing had sat around for a while. But still plenty of good parts salvaged from it for projects and also to make the rear half into a trailer.

 

I'll post some more pics when more chopping occurs. Also, have to deliver it to my Design Chief Ryan to see what magic e can weave on it.

 

I want some ideas on how to make the trailer part really effective and cool |blink|

get some pics up ASAP! I wanna see this thing. I did a ke70 boot esky once, kept the diff in

and rear seats so it could be rolled around and also used as a couch...

 

I'm keen for the whole front struts and brakes if you don't need them...

^^ bahahahahaa love it!
