Kustoms Ke70 Build [Slow & Steady]

[Kustom]

Used to be my car, I wonder if he ever bothered getting the major defects off it before he started building it or if its track only.

 

His car or this one?

 

 

Little bit of an update. Got some work done before futsal this arvo. (i'm so ʞ©$ɟed now :lol: ).

 

I managed to spray paint the boot twice with subframe black (semi-gloss) came up great. Then gave it about 3 coats of Clear coat.

 

Heres how it started (after the rust converter & sealer dried).

 

 

Then here it is after I painted it. (either first or second coat of the black)

 

 

Then while I was waiting for it to dry I headed over to Choices (carpet choice) where I used to do some contracting work for & picked up some free leftover carpet :cheers: It's not automotive carpet, but hey its better than paying $40 for 2sq meters!! :D

 

 

Laid it out. Cut it to size and stapled to the back these are the results.

 

 

The big one has a bit of a bubble in it from where it was folded over on itself, but I'm fairly sure I'll be able to get it out.

 

Here it is installed.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Stef.

Not much has happened this week.

 

One of the days I started to install central locking (mounted all the motors) and fixed to the locking mechanism. Just need to wire it up. noticed my doors doesn't have any gromets/holes into the door because no power windows/speakers (they are in the footwell standard, I don't have any :lol:) or basically any wires going into the door. So thats a job for another day. Gotta take doors off & sort it out. Thinking about getting new doors anyway cause mine arn't 100% straight & will be easier than fixing :lol:

 

Also today I swapped over front & rear springs, front discs & struts / hubs back. (Springs went back to standard for RWC).

 

It's now sitting monster truck. Will post up some pics later.

 

 

Also I drove it around the block the other day as it was raining to test it out. Got too addicted and stayed out for longer than i should have. Ended up finding a gutter into my passenger side wheel(now buckled). Woops. Was well worth it. Lucky its only a steelie ! :D

 

Cheers,

Stef.

Cheers. Came out alright for some home carpet ahaha. Just need to tidy up the main big piece.

 

Things that have happened over the last couple of days;

 

-Started to mount my central locking motors. Well they are all mounted but i then realized because the speakers are in the footwells there is no gromet going from the door to inside the car so I've gotta put one in for the cables. So I havn't got around to finishing that off yet...

-Swapped out front hubs/spring/strut (stock spring)

-Swapped out rear spring. (stock spring)

-Picked up some Monza Mspec seats (cheap!!) ... read somewhere they bolt up to KE70 rails so will put them in as soon as I get RWC.

-Picked up some parts for flat front conversion, bonnet, beaver panel, filler panel, both front guards. (All I need is grill + headlights/surrounds).

 

Heres a few pics.
