Hey guys, so a little bit bout me, ive loved modding cars & never kept anything stock in my life, I'm slightly technical minded but havent at that much experience on the mechanics side of things which I'm really keen to learn bout & i think this KE70 will help me with ;).. My daily/streeter has been a swift sport for the last yr & now ive pretty much got my swift to where I'm happy with it so ive moved onto a new project & to start getting myself into drifting.. So i went out & started looking for something cheap, something with easy parts & cheap parts to get, obviously something rwd & something with potential.. So while i was looking on forums & trying to hunt one down my dad found this granny spec KE70 up near Tamworth, so i called him up & asked him bout it, he sent me some pics & it was pretty overrated :).. obviously being a 83 model its not going to be showroom condition but with no rust a strong 4k motor with genuine motor matched with the car with 150,000km on it & been rebuilt recently & a good 4 speed manual lol, she is a lil beast.. I met him halfway on saturday & test drove it & was one of the best ive seen.. so i now have a granny spec rolla which wet slides f@$king awesome & already looked a set of shoes for her, some 14x6.5 0 offset & 14x7 -5 offset respectively.. so heres the pics of Gurdie (Gertrude) lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

nice to meet you all

i like your wheels :)

I'm still looking for rims but that was on the 2nd day i had it i went to try some on lol.. I know now why all you guys engine swap them lol, 4K's are so slow!!! lol, wet slides ok but if you need to actually move forward in a straight line, forget it lol..

Welcome mate, I remember seeing this in just cars or one of those specialist car mags.

Nice little purchase indeed, whats the condition of the interior like? More pics are in order :y:

 

Being an se and pre Hi cam model, take a pic of the diff to see if its an s series or a borg warner. Every 82 model including my 134km orginal have the s series diff :y:

Ye man ill take more pics for sure, pretty dam good interior for its age, only thing bad is drivers seat has like a 5cm tear lol other than that its seriously overrated. Ye dad found it on just cars while looking for mustangs, mini's & escorts lol.

 

SERIOUS?? I didnt know that, thats awesome, brightened my day knowing it might have something good on it :) lol.. ill take a pic of the diff & you can let me know :dancetall:

now i have to post up some pics of mine,

nice to see it up here bro,

and i can vouch for the interior its like something out of an old black and white movie, overrated as :)

No worries at all, these ke70s have so many little variations according to trims levels

it spins you round. Yeah if your lucky a motor trimmer can always restitch that pannel if the actual stitching has undone. Otherwise if the vinyl is acutally cracked then a new panel will need to be put in.

 

I just recently had the front seat bases done on mine, filled with new foam too. Oh so comfy :yes:

 

Just scroll down for more pics.
