Raven's Ke36 Panel Van

[Raven]

*Update 2*

 

It drives well, doesnt leak oil but has a slight head gasket leak, which isnt cool but I don't have the money to fix it at the moment.

 

Stereo is installed. Speakers installed in the back.

 

Fitted my set of hinges, replaced the nylon collars (all 4 of them with brand spanking new ones) on the hinges and readjusted the back door. Now it actually stays open. :D

 

I fitted up my KE35 seats today. Also used the sound dampening stuff from behind the back seat assembly of a KE30 sedan and used it to sound dampen the floor in the panel van (they don't come out with it). Nice and comfy now. I then went to vote at my old primary school, backed up as i was leaving the school grounds and dented the rear bumper on a netball goal (not like it wasnt already shagged anyway), so i'm not too fussed about that.

 

So once i've paid off my speeding fine, i'll replace the rear bumper, spray my bonnet matt black might even bump up the compression via a head shaving once i change the head gasket and see how it goes from there.

Lol sounds like it's going to be a nice pano when its done.

[Raven]

Eventually it will be. Need to find some cheap 14 inch mags for it later on too.

 

Oh, also i'm lowering the front once my mate finds his other king spring :D

[Valandor]

i just picked up some nice 14 inch celica rims. :D

 

altho they prolly wouldnt have suited it.

 

btw i prolly already told you this but I'm up for the engine swap.

 

:D i was right ;)

[Raven]

I'm just gonna change the head gasket for now. Engine swap will come later once i have the 4AGZE in my posession.

 

Muahahaha!

*Update 3*

 

* Changed the seats to KE35 items

* Recarpeted the back

* Gave the car a dorifto-spec matt black bonnet

* Put new numberplates on it cos the old ones were kinda shot and illegal

* Added Shelf under dash in the passenger side

 

Thats about it. Here's some pics!

[Valandor]

xlnt.

 

looking nice. gotta love the passengers window winder.

 

looking damn good man

[Raven]

The hubbies arent 100% straight. Well, 1 or 2 of them arent. Havent really looked. I may be sourcing a set of rims for it in the near future, so u never know, those hubcaps might end up being for sale.

*Update 4*

 

Started running on 3 cylinders today whe i started it.

 

Got the car home, pulled the rocker cover off and i'd bent a pushrod pretty bad and it sorta wasnt sitting under the rocker arm anymore :P

 

Straightened it up, put it back in, adjusted everything and its still running on 3 cylinders.

 

So all in all, i reckon i've either cracked a piston or bent a valve, cos the valve aint returning to the proper height.....

Hey man, I just replied in my old thread about the motor. But if you want a cheap fix i might have a head you can chuck on. I've got at least 4 in the shed in various states, one of them may be a 3k. definately got a 4k one if you want to chuck some forced induction on...

 

Scott.

[Raven]

Just PM'd ya Scotto.

 

Rather upgrade to a 1.3L and get rid of the 1.2L
