shLONG13 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Hey guys I'm back for another build After just finishing the purple ke70 http://www.rollaclub...-83-ke70-build/ which was supposed to be my first car, i realised i went over bored haha, its now turned into a show car/weekend cruiser because i don't want to wreck it as its been doing well in the shows. It makes me nervous to even leave it on the side of the road now haha so i decided i needed to get a daily driver. I first though that i would get a ute or something until dads mate told him he found a ae71 at this old blokes house he did a job for, told him he wanted to get rid of it, had just been sitting there for two years straight not being driven and out of rego, said he would take 200 bucks for it! haha so i jumped at it and gave him 300 bucks for it the next day because it was so worth it but it was really dirty and full of spiders as you could imagine after two years. So the plan was to tidy it up and just give it a flick of paint and put some wheels on it, but you know how it is haha :bash: . Now I'm working full time i decided i would make it into a daily/track car. So its now at home in the shed with most of the body work done, just waiting for the weather to warm up to give it a coat of polyester. I also am not a fan of the slanty fronts so i found some flat front guards, bonnet and other pannels and I'm using the old square light front out of the purple one but putting some crystal head light in it with a hid kit that i picked up for $80 pretty much brand new. Then came the 16v 4age bigport i picked up for $1000 for a complete set up :yes: When we brought it home and stripped it down it looked like it had never had an oil change in its life as you can see from the pic so Dad got his mate to dip all the engine parts and sand blast a few things to freshen it all up. Also picked up a genuine RWD manifold for it and a polished stainless valley cover. So thats where its up to at the moment but here's a plan of what I'm going for. Going to paint it a bright white slammed over a set of 15x8 work equip replicas from the states with flaired guards again, if i can get hold of a set of rebels i might run them too. Keeping the purple theme going with this one also haha :D but under the engine bay this time. Painted the block purple, also will polish the letters on the rocker cover up like chrome and paint the background purple, purple cam gears, vacume hoses and a few other bits and pieces. Bling bling! Taking it down to a friends to get a bolt in half cage put in it soon and painting it the same white as the body. Also plan on putting another set of ae86 bc coilovers under it like the purple one but mabey the next model up as i plan on hitting the track with it a bit. As for the engine the block and pistons are getting machined to get the compression up to about 10.5-1 as i can get it done for free, the head has been ported out also putting a set of crow mild cams in it and looking at putting a haltech sport 1000 ecu system on it. Sould be able to get it up around 160 rear wheel hp hopefully. Should be an exciting little daily, hope you guys like it :thumbsup: Edited September 5, 2012 by shLONG13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shLONG13 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Decided to file back the top of the manifold ready to polish up like chrome on the metal buffer. Still have to do the sides and sand with finer sand paper :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
