well a bit of an update just got the sub frame and the engine cross member painted today and had a bit more of a play with the grill

 

 

now I'm wondering how far back the shifter will be with the KE70 5 speed in it, does anyone know how much further back they are??

i had to take about 20 mm from the back of the opening for the shifter hole, in the KE10, mate

will try find a pic as a guide.

and yeah this does look so much better in person.

Better do it soon, i've heard that one might be on its way back to the coastline.

Already? It only made it up there a few months ago?

Its not Trevs '20 if thats what your thinking

The only time my 20 will go to the coast is with me driving it there

ok parts i know i will need are.........

1, motor, .................sorted

2, gearbox (4 or 5 speed at the moment),.............sorted

3, front and rear bumpers,.................sorted

ill see what i need after i pick up my ke20 parts car tomorrow afternoon

grill grill............ please replace that grill with a 20 s grill......... ha ha ha :yes:

I'm building this on a very tight budget so when i get a couple of grills free i am going to see what i make fit and besides i recon it looks good (it definatly looks a lot better in person)

 

i went and picked up a parts car today and from it i got........

ke20 diff with late model stud pattern

pair of nice seats

seat belts

front apron with indicators

steering wheel boss

carpet with factory underlay in very good condition

ke55 lower control arms

spare tail light

that little bit of trim from under the tail light (if anyone has a spare for the passenger side please let me know)

and 45 cents from under the carpet

You sure their '55 arms ?

The '55 arms are shorter by about 20mm then the '20 arms.

 

Looked good and felt sexy when i saw it tonight.

 

Maybe just clear coat the primer and start a new trend :P

the lca's have ke55 written on them(at least i think thats what they have written on them) so i am just going by that and i also got all the rust repair panels that i need as well so i am all set for my next long weekend so i can get ALL the rust cut out and new metal welded in

 

Oh and i might have a glass finish on the primer but there is no way in hell i will clearcoat primer
