Tough_little_ke20 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Late December last year I found this siting on a container while I was getting the engine bay blasted in my ke20 a couple of months later I went back a took it home for $350. The body is fantastic considering its age one small dint in the roof a dint in the door and a tiny bit of bog in the wheel arch. The third part to the fleet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I have remove the tank and all the disgusting fuel, the entire loom and the fuel lines, will be going to Melbourne in the next couple of weeks to check out an engine, 2nd gen 3sgte with gen 3 ecu and loom rebuilt and converted to rwd with 5speed supra box, then I will get myself a tig and seam weld every little bit of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough_little_ke20 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Bought my engine yesterday, 2nd gen 3sgte rebuilt with low k's, gen 3 ecu and loom, loom has been modified to remove all the useless bits and keep it simple, custom flywheel, gear reduction starter motor, 2s sump and bell housing, supra 5 speed and a custom distributor relocation kit. All that for $3,200. Now to get a tig and mount it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough_little_ke20 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks mate good to hear more people liking it rather than complaining about it being "poo brown", I'm expecting good things from this ke30 when it's done, you'll probably see it when it's done, maybe late next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough_little_ke20 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Got a ke70 steering rack last week for the car and yesterday the rear end turned up. I changed my mind on the 4 link commodore rear and got a complete independent rear from an ra65 celica. Now I can have a bit of rear stance haha. Thinking about mounting the motor this weekend and get onto seem welding the car over the next month and tackle the rear end. Should be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough_little_ke20 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Did some seam welding on the front of the car last weekend but my tig skills aren't real flash so my brother is doing all the bay (all the visible welds). Today I cleaned the motor and gearbox, painted them and bolted them together, will mount the engine tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
