springersrolla Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 finally got me hot little hands on a ke11 6/70 ami built model. I don't know a great deal about these cars, but this was a good score, and ive always wanted one. Starter motor is shagged so i have replaced it the sarvo and got her running. it has a warm 3k with k40 4 spd and jap diff. Has had front brakes upgraded and been told its ke 20 hubs and rotors with ke35 discs. rear has reset king spring leafs. still retains ke10 front leaf interior seems pretty straight forward and original with ke20 seats in the front and everything else stock. door cards and parcel shelf have been cut out for speakers:( at the moment it runs well but will need a bit of mechanical tlc and body love. theres quite a bit of cancer in bubbles and scratches and surface rust but nothing worthy of wrecking the car. its going to be a slow work in progress and hopefully theres some ke1x lovers out there that can throw in some knowledge and assistance. Plans are to respray in original cirrus grey, get some red pinstriping, restore and polish all chrome and lights, and throw on my twin webers. any mods to make things easier, nicer to drive, must do's, etc would be fantastic but heres some photos while i get back to the new car Cheers!!!

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 I'm pretty sure they'll sit in my garage for years :P Looks like you have the same front wheel track issue I have with the fronts poking a lot more than the rear. Quote
springersrolla Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Posted December 17, 2012 Whats the got with ke20 xmember, would that help you get your front narrower Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 No idea. I'm still learning too :P My head is full of 4AGE KE70 shit at the moment, as long as George isnt breaking down I'm not worrying about it ATM :lolcry: Quote
springersrolla Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Posted December 19, 2012 ITS ALIVE!!!! Swapped start erst and runs like a swiss watch, took it for a spirited drive and is way way way to floaty..... I was told its needs pitman arm, I wish to know if I can improve things before buying into a new front end. Anyone got some hot tips???? ʞ©$ɟ its light to drive.... Feels like my 5k in my 35 Quote
