CARNAGE Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Hey guys! been on the forum for a while lurking for one, but as luck turns out my mate had one sitting in his front yard collecting rust, so after consulting the parents i got the beast! absolutely full of rust, but trying to fix it bit for bit as a PROJECT car. cost me a full $0.00 so hey, can't complain. but this is it 1984 ke70 sedan Auto :( not for long! Began pulling interior out to freshen it up and this is my daily, 2002 mazda 323 astina. this thing was stock, now none of it is what actually came on the car. but all genuine mazda parts both USDM and JDM Plans for the KE are get the rust fixed and on the road -manual conversion -bigger carby maybe motor work -some nice guard filling wheels And lowered Nothing crazy as yet Edited August 27, 2013 by CARNAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARNAGE Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) So the blue turd was too far gone to even worry about, so all the interior has came out and panels, and picked up another KE for free! Heaps cleaner 4sp manual, and have already started transplanting interior and painting/priming before transplanting the bits of panel that are needed. More photos and updates to come, Should be ready for a blue slip and motor work in hopefully a month Edited October 7, 2013 by CARNAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 haha! well done! One for free is good, but two for free is superb! So, I assume the yellow one will become metalflake blue... You have two different diff ratios now too, you can run the auto 4.3 instead if the manual's 4.1 for more acceleration, or if you run larger 14 or15" tyres..

CARNAGE Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Cheers mate! Well it will be blue, but I'm hoping for a fresher more vibrant blue, went and got paint cards to get a rough idea today :) I'm pretty happy with it, I've been lucky! Yep, planning on ssr meshies probably 15x8 -0 so auto diff is better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CARNAGE Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) So major update motor is out aswell as everything in the engine bay, next task to tackle is getting front windscreens out! Can anyone help with info? Or link a thread, as I can't find anything! As I need to swap the headliners over and replace the cracked windscreen This weeks to do list is, flare the front guards weld the rear guards and missing panels, clean strip and put new parts on the motor, get the flywheel machined, 5sp on the motor, and motor in! All other engine parts will be sandblasted and either polished or painted, engine bay will also get a lick of paint! Big work and not much time, some snaps of today's progress Edited October 27, 2013 by CARNAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CARNAGE Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) So the weekend had some fun involved, the spigot was too tightly in there so had to cut the inner race off to pull the outer race that chewed up way too much time! But I got everything on the motor and cleaned, I also got the engine bay painted ready for the motor in on Sunday! Enjoy Edited November 6, 2013 by CARNAGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
