rke_011 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I have owned this for a while now, I'm the second owner. I bought it of the original owner which was a sweet old lady that kept my number for somewhere around the 10 year mark. Car has no real rust in it at all, only very minor surface rust on the front of the car which look like they were caused by stone chips. It has a dent on the drivers front guard, and the vinyl is average. But for a one owner 67 car, I'm pretty happy.. WIll not be doing anything to this. (seems this plan didnt last) All I have done is add the Venetians and the 14"s. Getting my spare interior retrimmed to suit and will get the dent fixed. She looks beautifull though. newer pictures.

Jono.C Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 You get used to it though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rke_011 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 yeah, I'm used to it already... Although I do feel bad driving her every day sun, rain, hail... what ever. May get a standard 4k to wack in it so i can keep the original K.. Its still healhy as fk so it may be worth keeping it that way... just wish there was an easy way of lowering it, would use blocks in rear seeing I'm not building a race car, but the front is just a pain in the ass. Thats the only objection I have against it. easiest thing is to keep it standard, and keep playing with the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Top daily!!!!!! Go 5k man, I've just gone back to a STD 4K after having a reasonably punchy twin su'd 5K then the 100rwkw blown 5K, it's soooo slow! Lowering is easy. Ditch the transverse leaf. Get a set of ke20 shock inserts, ke20 strut tops with top spring perches and ke 20 low springs!! Laughing you'll also need a front sway bar though.

rke_011 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 this ke I don't really want to do anything to.. to nice to modify, would go 5k but can only legally go to 4k. and I'm not building it for performance, but if I could go up hills it would be a bonus. is there any way of getting the standard front lower without massive mods? got quoted 600 to reset the front leafs which seems a little excessive.

Jono.C Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 As Stu said ditch the front leaf, it limits how low you can go. Get a ke70 springs and chop it to the height you want and then have a pair made to those specs and fit it with ke20 spring hats. Lower and stiffer to protect your guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rke_011 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 how bad are they without leaf and no sway bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I've never had mine out and driven it, but it really limits how low you can go. But put it this way, you can get springs made and a whileline swaybar for less than your leaf spring quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 how bad are they without leaf and no sway bar? I dealt with it for around 6-8 months. Then I put one on and wow what a difference!! I could of dealt with it longer if it was just a daily and knew no different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chobis Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Awesome! Wish I hadn't sold mine. I'd be happy with the 3k. No rush to get anywhere when you've got a sweet KE1x. Everyone wants the chance to spin their head around to look at it :groupwave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
