Progress looks good Jesse. You should go over to Pinch-a-part Campbellfield and grab those doors on the White KE55 in there while you still can. :)

 

Josh :cool:

[the_ke55!]

yeh i may have to mate, I'm only lookin for the passenger door now as ive fixed the back one,

 

ive spoken to the guy about the 4k engine his sellin me for 100 bucks, he said his pulling it out this weekend so hopefully ill have it this weekend if not the following week, wrapped as!!

[the_ke55!]

update.

ok so the left back door is completed and back on and lookin sick!!

 

so now that ive done that door i decided to look around the inside edges of the others and the front passenger door has been hit hard with rust around the edging!! so I'm trying what ever i can to fix it, if my magic doesnt work I'm gonna have to go on the hunt for a passenger door.

ill put a pic up of the passenger door where its been hit the most!

[the_ke55!]

the passenger door :(

[the_ke55!]

gday all,

while ive been lookin for some guards n shite. i came across another car wont say what it is, thats a suprise!

but its got its got a 4kc engine 4 speed manual box n everything ive been lookin for such as exterior stuff, also has interior! the engine has i think 270,000ks

on it so I'm guessing thats alright for an older car?

but anyways I'm hopefully going to be picking up this misterious car tomorow, so stay tuned to find out what it is!!!

I'm funckin excited!
