CookieKE25 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone. Just startin on a build on my KE 25 that i have had sittin round for a while... Its pretty scrappy but in no rush to get it finished as it isnt and probably wont be my daily. So the story goes... A kid i used to work with on his p plates used to drive it. I had wanted a ke 20 for a while but loved this when i saw it. I nagged him for a bit to buy it from him but he wanted to push it off a cliff and se what happened for some reason. I was a little pi55ed at him but kept naggin and when he told me he was doin it that arvo i gave him the 150 bucks i had in my wallet and he accepted. It was pretty trashed i think i was halucinating on the drive home from all the fumes pumpin in the cabin... Its been pretty much sitin in my garage since then... So i need a bunch of parts which i have searched hi n lo for but no success. I live in Cairns n there is absolutely nothin round here.I need a complete dash and a rear window lock/clip thing... For the interior. I need the three plastic strips which go round the tail lights and across under the boot lip. I posted on here yesterday and someone wrote back with some advice but it disappeared an i can't remember who it was. It has a 4K in so i just want to mildly work that n put a 5 speed in. Body will be stock... Not 100% on colour yet but really leaning to a deep red colour like the old Alphas used to have. Interior I'm not sure yet as all i have is the seats n steering wheel... I have made up door cards but well have to see how they go. Any advice or opinions will be greatly appreciated and i will post up when i can.
