xris Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) So its been a looong time since i did anything with the old girl. Luck hasnt been on her side after being destroyed by that christmas hail of 2011. Damage - Front window smashed, roof dinted, bonnet dinted, boot dinted, guards dinted, headlight surround broken. chrome trims dinted. So a write off really.... But were going to fix it. As we have another spare brown one were going to use as much parts from it as we can (that also copped hail but no where near as much damage as my white one. So lastnight finally got some motivation and started. Removed the front end (all panels, lights bumpers, lip, bonnet etc) So the plan of attack is. - strip the car - remove roof lining - fix roof dints - replace bonnet - replace boot - replace doors - replace front window - replace interior with brown dash, seats, carpet, trims, etc etc. - replace suspension (front and modify coilovers to fit) - replace clutch - reco starter - respray car - club register car As usual we've got only 1 month to build a car...

xris Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) so i lost motivation once i started pulling the white car down....decided it was a lost cause and cut my loses. It was rolled back into the storage shed. but yesterday i bought another ke70 1983 model. has a 4kc in it with a new head gasket, leads, tacho dash brown interior and is painted in undercoat grey. this is a perfect car to rebuild from (minus some crappy graphiti on the roof liner and on some other trim, in perminent pen (hopefully orange spray gets that off). All locks are bust so i'll be swapping doors over or locks and handles Edited January 6, 2014 by xris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xris Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Going to get stuck into sanding the shit out of this shell on the weekend as its in acrylic and needs completely removing before i go further. once thats done i can attack the cancer (rust) and start prepping the shell (got to remove all the doors so theres not that much to do luckily.

xris Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 so yeah i lost interest in this ke70. dunno what happened but it got stripped down to this point and i got distracted building a motorbike. so lastnight i bought another KE70 lol. this one has 130,000km on it, box is tight, it runs, and is already white (factory) but its got some rust (I'm going to leave most of it as it adds character lol). So now I'm going to just move everything across from the old one to this, interior is blue but theres not much left in there. So i can either go brown or blue interior.

xris Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Got stuck into it lastnight, change chrome bumpers, rear tail lights, front head lights, painted headlight surrounds and installed them. And emptied the interior. Now to strip the trim and dash out tonight and start moving across the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
