January 8, 201214 yr comment_576231 Hey all.. My name is Nathan, I'm 19 and from Brisbane, and I thought i'd share my love for KE70's by putting a post up of my build... A mate of mine whom which owned the car was looking to upgrade to something other than this 'pile of shit', and so with a price tag of $500 I jumped at the chance, and obviously for that price the car wasn't going to be in the best shape, The body was 99% straight (Next to no dings/Dints) But what I did get was an eye-sore of an interior and a boot full or rust, Litterely!.... Basic plans: *Drift* * 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 (Eventually super/turbo charge) * Series 5 RX7 5speed gearbox with a custom 1 peice tailshaft * RX7 Diff *Locked* (Series Undecided) * S13 Crossmember with S14 or R31 LCA's And S13 power steering * Undecided as to what coilovers...(Reccomendations?) * Hydraulic handbrake * Obvious body/panel cut and paste (Rust), Add some colour, Wheels/tyres, Interior work (Dash), And a halfcage... Some pics of the car as purchased... And so begins the fun part... If you don't have a catch can here's the next best thing! Striping along with some cut and paste... Undercoat... Got bored and decided to take the springs out... Spot welded wheel arches for a bit of extra strength... Decided to try and get the shaved fuel cap as straight as possible... Final colour...*Not 100% finished* Anyway I think that enough pics to keep you occupied for a while, I have 800+ pics of the car, So if needed I can upload certain areas etc etc on request... Enjoy :) Edited January 8, 201214 yr by Whatsausername? Report
January 8, 201214 yr comment_576269 Hi Nathan, welcome. This machine sounds like a beast. Unfortunately the pictures aren't loading. I'd also suggest you start a thread in the "Rollaclub Rides" section as that's the right spot to show it off. Mike Report
