74coupe Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 hey guys i may as well add to this and show progress to the car I'm doing.. ive been asking alot of questions and il show what i have so far.. cheers. at the moment its stock as a rock minus the gauges ive installed ready, but getting some parts lined up so it will be game on when the roady is cleared!!! bloody vic roads... but plan on building it for weekends and street.. but i don't want it to be a daily driver, just a fun car, considered a ca18det but at the end of the day i just couldnt afford it and I'm not the sort of person to leave something sitting around doing nothing... its a 1974 ke25 coupe, mustard yellow in colour with the standard 3k engine with a whopping 2 speed auto... plans for her are, a supercharged 5k motor with a manual behind her with an upgraded diff running lsd and diff gears for fun not top end.. lowered suspension extractors, exhaust, cam, carby, and all that shit to go with it.. I'm prefering to keep it looking fairly granny wise on the outside and in, just so it wont look like I'm up to much and can have fun.. feel free to comment anything, suggestions and performance help for building my 5k. cheers ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Spoto a nice falcon!!! Ash I'd ditch those ke25 brakes for some ke55 stoppers! So clean, I may have to drop around some time and check it out. If you need a hand with the blower setup I can help, been there done that.

ke20rolla Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Keep it original mate, theres not enought original stock old cars going around as it is. A set of whitewalls, a sunshade for the front window or a venetian on the rear and shes done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAE71 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would sacrifice my left testicle to have that car. Just as it is too, I wouldn't change a thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74coupe Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey guys ,, trust me I'm heari what ya sayin.. The old Man is down my throat about it.. The reason I'm going the 5k and all that, is so I can change back to the 3k auto and have it back to how she was.. So there isn't any major mods.. And then if I could afford it I would go a complete conversion full on... But I've got a 63eh that's stock as a rock and I'm keeping the original look of this so it looks granny visually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizzys25 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Popular colour, Looks alot better than mine. Do what you want to it. The only person you need to justify what you do to it is yourself. In the end who is going to be driving it, you or the people telling you what you should do to it. Keep up the good work and the rewards will be there for you.

74coupe Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Cheers mate, yeah I know what ya mean, sometimes u just need to do what makes you happy and what u want. I'm still going to hold onto all the 3k stuff if I ever do decide to swap back for original stuff. So yeah I'll have some fun with a wild supercharged 5k for now lol.. Seems to be running real hot. Hopefully It's not the head gasket, cbf playin with that... I'll have a closer look tomorrow night tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
