Cheers Reed,

 

It did look a bit bare and I had them hanging up in the shed,

I think the center caps are from a corona.

they will do until I find some little ssr mk2s lol.

just doing some lunch time research,

what is the go with fitting retractable seatbelts in a ke1x?

 

Is it as simple as it sounds. ie, using existing mounting points. And whats the best car to get them from?

 

Cheers

Get ke35/55 coupe ones. I'm putting a set in mine today ill get good pics and do a write up

your a champ Reed,

 

I was getting sick of choking my self when ever I go to change song lol

Is your head unit in the glove box too?

nah the bloke i got it from destroyed the blanking plate, so its in the dash, but I'm 6ft 2 so i have the seat all the way back and i still need to fold my legs up to get in there lol

Well just went to take the rolla for a spin to the beach and as I started it I heard

the sound of fluid meeting concrete.

 

there's a crack in my bottom thermostat housing :bash:

soooo the epic hunt for a new one starts.

 

I spose its a good thing it shit its self at home, as I was going to go to the AJD in Adelaide this weekend.

 

So Anyone know the part number for the housing? form what I have been seeing around the place they are

a bit hard to come by. God I hope not.

best to go to a wrecker and get one off a 30,55,70....

Hmm I didn't want to do that, but it looks like that's whats going to happen,

The problem is the wrecker here will crush any thing older than a vn.

As long as that includes VN's then thats not so bad.

haha, but where will all the wet weather heroes get there spare parts?

or I'm sure there is a place in whyalla that can weld it up, if there is a place that reconditions cylinder heads they should be able to fix it

I would do that, but I think mines completely stuffed. Its cracked all the way through from top to bottom

Well went to the wrecker today, asked if he had what I needed and to my surprise he did!

 

he just said, come in and dig through this box.... said box turned out to be an old crate full of jap thermostats.

after 10 mins I had 2 ke30 ones :D

 

So now I play the waiting game while the gasket goo dries.

 

Heres a few random picks of it, forgive the overcast day.

Oil catch can I put in today as well

Not a lot of room between the shed and house lol lucky its a rolla :D

And a random dash shot, I'm trying to find a better spot for the gauges... but column mount will do for now.

 

Cheers :lol:

Can anyone recommend some front shocks I would be able to get? part numbers, brands etc.

the old ones are a bit sad and we have shit roads here so riding low is taking its toll.

 

Cheers
