Dan Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 You get it back or??? Cos I was interested in buying the rolling shell off ya for a while there... Quote
boggedKE55 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 nah i didnt get it back but now I'm in the market for buying one so if ne one wants to sell give us a yell they gave me 150 for the liscenec back Quote
Dan Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I'd bet my last dollar it'll be in the pines, either smashed the shit out of or torched. Either way, probably worth going out and having a look. That said, if i find it in the pines, can I have it :lmao: ? Will keep an eye out for ya, nothing rego'd under $600 in the quokka today. Cheers, Dan. Quote
rolla bowla Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 My mate gave me a ke30 radiator for free, so Ill give yours a miss daniel, Cheers but anyway. Sorry for any trouble, but it sounded a little f@$ked anyway. Quote
Dan Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Na, thats all good mate... the thing was absolutely f@$ked, so, yeh... Is it you running the wanted advert in the quokka? Give us a yell if you take a miss on any cars that call you... Quote
boggedKE55 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 theres a corolla panel van for sale? i didnt know there was such a thing, I'm wondering if its just a wagon coz the bloke i talked to was old and all so mabye he doesnt know the diffrence can any one verify if there is a corolla pannel van he says its 1979 to 80 ??????? Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 i don't know, i've never heard of a corolla panelvan either on hold on, yes i have, i own one! and look, here's another!! Quote
Dan Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 You talkin about the guy whos asking ridiculous prices for his parts or? I didn't see it in the quokka, might have another look... Jamie, did KE36 come out with 3k? Quote
Dan Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Oh yeah, i picked up a ex-racing KE20 from down south today.... Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Jamie, did KE36 come out with 3k? yes, ke36 is of the same model range as ke30 2- and 4-door sedans, and the ke35 2-door hardtop. 3k engine, basic emissions, jap diff, unboltable radiator support panel, sumitomo calipers, little drums, early two-piece dash, etc etc ke36 is the code for both 4 door wagons (which use 4 door sedan doors) and 2 door panelvans (which use 2 door sedan doors), some panelvans have windows, some have factory sheetmetal the later model ones are called ke38, and are akin to ke55 4 door sedans and 2 door hardtops. i haven't heard of a ke38 panelvan, only 4 door wagons i haven't studied them in great detail, but at a guess, i would say 38s have 4k engine, borg warner diff, spaghetti emissions, welded on radiator support, girlock calipers, bigger drums, later one-piece dash, etc etc. all the things that make a ke55 other interesting differences in the ke3x panelvan/wagons include: rubber floor mat instead of carpet (panelvan only) factory passenger side mirror different leaf pack with load-bearing leaf different rear shocks 4.5 ratio diff center (i think ke36 only) different floorpan to sedan/hardtop (so exhausts don't bolt across) Quote
Dan Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 4.5 ratio diff center (i think ke36 only) Hey, that really helps me out hey... I was looking at buying a '81 wagon (presume KE38, did they run the same years as KE55?), so that probably wouldn't have a 4.5 in it, cos BW didn't have a 4.5 diff.... Thanks man. Quote
lappy Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 hey sidewayz1 is the ke20 speedway racer? Quote
Super Jamie Posted October 22, 2005 Report Posted October 22, 2005 could be a ke38, could be a ke70, you'd have to see it Quote
Dan Posted October 23, 2005 Report Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Cheers SJ... I probably won't bother looking at it now cos A; it wouldn't have a Jap diff, and B; the KE20 I just got has locked 4:3's... Yeah, Lappy, the KE20 is an ex-speedway racer. Old man got it from a bloke in Augusta for nothing... Its nothing special, but its got a 'cage, seat, harness tank, net and a shitload of other things that save me a bit of time and money... Heres a pic, but I'll put more up in my build-up page... edit: Didn't realise that it was 1.55mb still.. thought I resized it... I'll post it later. Edited October 23, 2005 by sidewayz1 Quote
