agius Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Hello all this is my baby..my KE35 i bought it off ewt for $2000 I'm currently 17 living in melb so i don't have my p's yet but the time i do get them she should be ready My plans are: Spray job.. a sky blue or similar colour Rims Lower it Get chrome re dipped Sound system I'm thinking about laying cream colour carpet in to match the seats might also paint the dash cream as well Me and dad converted it to manual before i started this thread As for the engine i was lucky enough to buy it with a 5k motor under the hood so ill leave that baby in and do it up. Plans for the 5k: Ive just bought a 32/36 weber so ill be puting that in, Ill get them electric fans for the radiator, less drag on the motor Ill do a bit of head work for sure but i don't know how far ill go into it as yet Id like to change to solid valve lifters and get a nice cam I don't know much about head work as yet but id be reading alot about it when I'm up to that stage I want to lock the diff but i don't want to bend the axles but u can't eat ur cake and have it to. Extractors and exhaust..nice 3inch single chrome drop pipe tip I hope all you rolla heads enjoy my thread..ill be updating it frequently Edited April 30, 2012 by agius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiP Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Looks great mate. Well done on the conversion. That must have been easy seeing you have a pit. I've messed around the hard way so many times with gearbox changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Welcome to the hardtop brotherhood. I think you've got yourself a sleeper. I agree with the carpet thing. You'll find your carpet has faded. (mine has) The original brown/tan would set off the cream interior. Good luck and keep posting. Is it a 4 or 5 speed now? Almost forgot. Those stupid damage strips on the sides. Mine had them as well. Must have been a 70's thing. They've gotta go. Panel beaters used to use them to hide the lines after a repair, but I HATE 'em.

Oh-KE Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hey, congrats on the purchase. Its a very tidy car.. worth every penny. About the carpet I say go Black carpet because it looks the goods and doesnt stain easily. Good luck with it. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
