KE15/17 windscreens ARE different part number seal and size. If I put a KE10/11 item in my car the top of the seal bulges up and does not sit right they are higher than a normal KE15 item.

i havent got part numbers but thats what the guy told me who deals with seals and all that stuff. he said ke15and ke10 are the same part number. all i know is that my ke10 has a ke15 screen in it and it dosent leak and if you sat the two screens over the top of each other they would line up. i mite have to take a photo of the car with it in? i think if it was wrong the windscreen place who fitted it would of told me seeing they have over 30years behind them?

 

By the way nice job with the car jordain looks good.

I won't keep banging away in Jordain's thread, when we should be here to admire his work! But, I have spoken to Ralph this morning. KE15/17 screens haven't been available for 3 years. I am looking at a few possibilities to get them made, and will post in the KE general thread when I find out something.

 

As an example, Ralph is getting some RT50 screens made at the moment.

Really just waiting for parts now. I was going to put it on the trailer and get an exhaust made up but I should get the suspension and tailshaft sorted first. I'm back at school so it might slow down abit but then again I think my Dad's going to finish it off pretty fast as my mum wrote her car off and I think his thinking he might steal my Corolla and ride his motorbike and not buy another car for a while as I've got a few months till I can get my P's anyway.

That's awesome still at school with such a sweet ride ...

 

on topic of windscreens I have seen a ke10 windscreen in a ke15 n the seal sticks out a bit on roof due to being a higher windscreen.. just shows some

people don't know everything in there proffession even after 30 yrs

If you were desperate, You could channel the rubber abit deeper so the ke10 screen fits deeper into the rubber on a ke15. Sounds good in theory, Not sure if it would work as the rubber might be too thin.

 

Yeah it is pretty sweet having a better car then your teachers, still not sure why I got a ke10 though. It is a wicked car, just didn't think I'd actually get something old school.. was looking at bmw's for a long time and reno's and fiats and just anything random haha. Nearly bought a Fiat 500 :laff:

 

Just drove across Sydney to pick up some Recaro seats.

 

They will be done like this

 

 

Match that original red interior but with retro racer recaro front seats hahaha.

Most will disprove of the fender mirrors but I like them.

 

 

But I'm not going to drill holes in my guards until i'm 100% sure I want them hahaha :blush:

Firstly, With the fender mirrors i'm going to bring them back abit. Looks a lot better having them further back.

Later model Corolla ( I think ae92 seca ) rails which have been cut off the seats.

 

:wink:

 

 

 

Well I got the car running with the 4k motor, till I decided It wasn't fast enough within a few seconds of driving it.

 

 

So out goes the 4k and in goes a new motor.

 

 

2TG Pow-ah

 

Also started building another KE10B... Its dead original.

 

 

 

Paints pealed in a few spots around the car and one tiny rust bubble has appeared on the drivers door, but I've since tig welded it up and its getting finished this weekend.. hopefully have it in the spraybooth for a full respray within the next 2-3 weeks.

 

This ones getting a 5k/4spd motor... purely for weekends.

 

If anybody is interested, I actually have another KE10.. 4k/toyoglide in decent condition, although has some more rust. PM me if you are serious about it.

How do I delete this unnecessary post?

Wow.

 

That is all.

I really didn't want the 4k from the start, Just put it in to drive around... then up popped a 2TG motor haha! This car is actually on hold for a little while, need to sort a few things out and get my head around it so I've started the original KE10B just to keep me busy haha!

Awesome work as always man, you must have some coin to be doing all this at your age!

 

Did you get the 2TG cover power coated? Looks f@$king great!

Yeah, It's been powdercoated.. I've been thinking about polishing the 'Toyota' + ' 1600' but... I think it might chip and crack the sides since its powdercoated... it looks good enough anyway I suppose.. Need to stop worrying about the little details hahaha!
