Featured Replies

Hi all i did have this topic somewhere else because i put it in the wrong spot so i decided to repost it here.

I have stripped it down completely when i was living on the sunny coast and then moved back to toowoomba and me and a mate pulled the motor and box out, we straightened the radiator saport and painted the enginebay.

 

I have also stripped the pain off the doors guard and boot lid and primed them ready to be painted but they wont get painted until the rest is ready to go.

What condition is the running gear in, if it was running when you got it, then you've scored a massive bargain for $20!

 

What's your plans for the KE aside from respray and fixing the damage?
