Should make a good noise! More keen for this front end than anything

Yeah, bore on the carbs

I only have one photo which is covered in mud and shiz from where i had it mocked up but.

 

Ke20 Crossmember (holes welded and re-drilled)

Ke70 rack

Custom mounts with ke70 top rack mounts

Shortened tie rod ends

Ke30 Lca's

 

Ke10 steering column gutted with ke70 innerds and shotened ends etc to suit ke10 position

 

As well as ke20 swaybar and castor rod setup.

 

I'm not happy with my rack mounts though, so i'll re-do them or weld ke70 ones on or something.

 

(Sorry about the photo)

 

That was my plan for the wagz. looks nice. will be a lot better than the 10 gear.

Interesting, I look forward to hearing how it goes! :)

Man it'll be so much better, swaybar, castor adjustment, negative camber, disk brakes, tight rack, just need to get the rack mounts checked and put the coilovers together and it'll be an entirely different beast to drive.

 

Cheers Snot, I'm getting pretty keen to use them, got a lot of stuff laying out to put to use at the moment

What tie rod ends did you use

Ke70 but shortened

Gangster.. just gotta get a spare k frame and i can get started on mine

I got one PM me if you need it.

Have you worked out how your steering geometry will match up to the original geometry?

Well i'm no engineer..

 

It's ke70 geometry really but will look to work very well in a ke10

 

I really think i'll make another crossmember in a month or 2 once this ones running, Just drive this see how it goes and make one with ke70 rack mounts this time instead of the custom ones

 

Also a shortened rack would be a nice feature

Also, I got a new boot!

 

 

Yes it's a different year but meh. Little bit of rust and there's some dents i'll need to fix but..

 

The little tabs under the numberplate were the worst part.. They just rusted out and the boot was about to rust behind them.. So took them off and ground it back to rust proof it.

 

Took the crossmember back to bare metal and coated it in chassis black with the Compressor and Gun.

 

Now just needs a lock spacer put in and it's sweet.

 

 

More work on the bootlid. The stuff on the primer is spot putty, I didn't want to bog it so as a result i had a few little paint chips in places or little pin dents i couldn't hammer out. Much better than bog.

 

Should be painted in the next couple of days.
