Whatsausername? Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by Whatsausername? Quote
snot35 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 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 Quote
19914afc Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Sounds good! I am undergoing this conversion myself and am just about to make mounts for the engine. Quote
Whatsausername? Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Sorry gents, didn't realize the pics didn't load. The build will be up in rolla rides tonight. :) Quote
