Well, as the title suggests, I'm new to rollaclub, and i have a ke70 granny spec that i just aquired for free :dance:

its an 84 auto, my father inlaw's aunty bought it new, it has 118,xxx k's, a little rust here and there but over all its in great nick for a car from a beachsidetown.

she failed her lisence test (shes 89) so does not need the car so just gave it to me.

i don't have any pics yet, and the plan it to keep it stock for a while (till i get some cash) then play with it.

i live in coffs harbour, I'm 31, and a 2nd yr diesel mechanic apprentice. wanna know anything else, just ask :cool:

Best mod you can do to that car is put a 5 speed in it. Reasonably cheap to buy the bits required.

 

Might see you round next time I'm 4x4ing in coffs.

Lucky man!

 

Des is right, the 5speed makes a big difference. Lighten the flywheel while it is out too. We bought a donor car, took the bits we wanted and sold it on.

Score! Best I've ever done was a KE30 for a carton of beer.

 

Welcome :)

thanks guys, i might look into the manual convo soonish, I'm gettin over the auto already. never liked em.

Sounds like a good little car, Ive driven a ke70 with close to 400k on the clock and while it was tight, smooth and refined to drive it certanly wasnt inspiring to drive. Youll notice a manual conversion will transform the car straight away :y: Once you acquired all the appropriate parts it should take a good day or weekend to do, especially with good assistance :)

 

So no pictures :wink:

well, the decision has been made to sell the car. we don't need it. its unreg and will need a blueslip to b reg again. it would make a great base for a project though. its straight, clean in and out, small spots of rust but nothin big. it was owned and driven by a (now 89 yr) old lady its whole life, she bought it brand new.

not sure what its worth, what u guys think?? how much would it be worth?? just after a ball park figure..
