StealthSmiff Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Well seeing as how I'm not the kinda guy that is used to posting online on forums I'm not sure how this build thread will turn out i will try and keep it short and simple. i like looking through other peoples so i thought id contribute Car: Ke70 Year: 1984 Originally yellow When i bought it, No rego, welded diff, bald rear tyres, 430,000ks, speedo didnt work, was miss match matte black had 14" cheviots on the front sprayed orange the motor wasnt idling properly the timing was out it had some rust and dents, one fender mirror, drivers side bucket seat would retract on you and slide backwards, along with no carpet a gay steering wheel, a broken rear exhaust bracket. Needless to say i have mostly fixed all this, pictures are worth more than words so here goes, kinda in order. When i first got the beast, very ugly i know. Orange Cheviots finished bonnet and boot with Matt black grossness Cleaned engine bay Photo with a mates rolla, yeah he bought that thing stock as a rock for $150 no rego in roadworthy condition so jealous Sprayed a rising sun on my fuel flap for shits and giggles left it there for a while Custom rear roof lip made from some crappy venetian thing attatched with loads of sikaflex Started some rust and guard repair Very quickly became patched in primer, Bought a Tsurikawa ring just had to.

StealthSmiff Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Ive got alot of progress photos of what i did on my iphone just have to get them off it. Whole car in primer Cut the end off intake and drilles holes in it for more flow Exhaust before i got it fixed hanging low Sprayed clear over the boot to see results Bought new rims :D Fitment with 25mm bolt on spacer Black pillars got 2 new fender mirrors now aswell I also have added a custom gearknob, volt meter, mp3 media usb etc player basically a cd player but no cds, 2 6x9s in rear parcel shelf for speakers not overly fussed on speakers, 20mm bolt on spacers in the rear that sit flush with the guards lips rolled over, have a dash fan haha i love that thing, door courtesy light under dash near key barrel red led strip looks mad a night time. Future mods include, Paint, hydraulic handbrake, Central locking and alarm, fiat 1608 twin cam twin webber motor to go in it, it was free off my old man so I'm cheering just needs to be built Quote

StealthSmiff Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Fiat 1608 Got one of these donks to go into it. Good for 100hp stock rev to 10,000rpm, Just need to find webbers and some other bits and pieces before i start to mock up fitment. Already know i will need custom extractors to clear steering shaft. And it will sit slightly high in the front unless i modify k frame If anyone can answer how hard it will be getting this engineered with this motor in nsw? will also be doing front s13 running suspension and brake conversion so will have larger discs and calipers in the front.

StealthSmiff Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Posted March 7, 2014 Just installed eGay central locking and alarm will take some photos if anyone is interested, got 4 actuators with the kit only installed actuators in two front doors cause they are likely to fail eventually from the load so I have 2 spare now in case. Alarm is hectic loud so I might resist its 12v to 6v. There are no factory wires going into doors so I had to drill my own holes to run them just need some ribbed conduit for extra protection. Quote
