Marko Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Hey GL on the build and everything, i am also painting the interior and couldnt figure out how to get the dashboard off, have you taken yours off yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kose Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 lol i was meant to a while ago before i took a hiatus and never did, but it should be off very soon and i'll let ya know...if you get it off let me know :D well i FINALLY managed to get the strut top off after much difficulty due to the insert spinning :( :no: :hmm: i then ran into another problem, when i went to put the stock springs in, i found i needed to compress them , and after many trials i gave in and went a spring compressor which made my life just that bit easier rofl :( ;) ;) So now it is back to stock height :P PICS ARE SOON TO COME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb20 rolla Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 sorry i can't help with more photos at the moment mate but if you want to go the rb20 i will help out where i can. if you want my opinon i would go a ca18det i think this is one of the best all round combos for a turbo ke70. if you are after losts of power go an sr or rb but a good street track combo is the ca18 i put one in a 1200 ute for a mate and it was faster than my rb 70 and they are good on fuel.

kose Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Rightio, after almost a year of hiding under a rock i'm back into it...thank god! :) the car has moved home again, three hours away from where i live, but i now i have my own garage in which to work on it. Within an hour of it being offloaded from the trailer i started working on it lol stripping it down and so forth so far i have removed: -front panels -doors -boot -seats -plus whatever the hell else i could find to pull out went over the entire car to find all of the rust spots, found quite a few unfortunately :( some of which are quite extensive, so lots of work to fix all of them up...yayyyy lol got the old man in on the car now so having that extra pair of hands is always helpful :) after taking the car apart, we became quite suspicious of the rear divers side, thinking it had been in a bit of a bung. i couldn't find anything wrong with the chasis rails (phew) but we went about taking some of the paint off to find nearly the entire section around the fuel cap was full of bog joys for all "WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET RID OF THIS F*#KING THING!?!?!" was the response i got from my father when we found this out pfft, i wouldn't have a bar of that, and after many arguments and debates i got him to side with me, and that we'll try and get it back to as close to prestine condition as we can. Much things have been fully decided: Eninge- 4AGE, after my father trying to convince me to put a rotary in it haha front suspension - Coilovers Rear suspension - still undecided colour - red Interior - black Wheels - something dishy with good offset The timeline we have set to have the entire car finished by is the end of 2012 (i know, a long time but i have to save for an overseas trip at the end of the year) Quite a long update and blab, but f*#k it feels good to be able to say that I'm back working on the rolla :D Edited February 22, 2011 by kose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
