Okay so i'm new to all this

I just got given a Ke55 by my girlfriend

It was her first car when she was 16 now she is 22 she wanted something more practical

so i scored it

 

Its not in the best condition

but it starts first time every time and runs fine

 

I wanna make it so i don't get defected(I'm a P plater)

So i am gonna replace the damaged panels first

and maybe do an engine swap later on

 

can anyone help out with panels and such?

just browse the parts section theres always a few 55's being parted out. what engine conversion do you have in mind?

also where about are you from? is that a yellow nsw plate?

I'm going away in july for a long while so i just want to get it looking nice for now

What a tank :blinks:

Is it an auto or manual ? If its an auto and your thinking of swapping it over to a manual you'll have some fun.

 

 

Anywho, welcome to the forum, we're an easy bunch of people, pretty laid back but some (like me at times) do get a little annoyed if the search function isn't used.

 

Good project to set you off.

Just as a note update your profile with your location. Trust me it does help a lot.

Its a manual

Ive heard you can pick up engines pretty cheap

As i've said i'm pretty new to the whole modifying cars thing

But i've got mates that have had rolla's before

So they'd be up for help me work shit out i think

Hi Sam and welcome.
