dpb Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 So after idolising Dave (te278u) te27 for years and also numerous other friends having tricked up ke2x I had to have one. After buying 3 other cars off Dave (ke10 and 2 ke70 wagons) he mentioned thinking of selling a ke25 he had stowed away in the corner of his shed to wich I of course replied "I want it" sooo now to make it into something I can drive daily and still have some fun. When I picked her up And at her new home after some cleaning and disassembling for paint and panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.T. Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I thought that car looked familiar! I know that car had been stored outside for some time hopefully it does not have that much rust in it if is a update it has the wrong light garnishes in it - good luck finding the correct grill, under grill panel & the garnishes - took me nearly 4 years to find all those parts. I can help you out with the flares though good starting point though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 That's a nice 25. I'm surprised Dave sold it, though when you have 11ty billion cars.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpb Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Haha yes I was suprised too but definitely not complaining rust is minimal worst is the bottom of LH qtr window bottom of rear gaurds and the bonnet and bootlid, Dave is helping me out with a decent bonnet so have to find a decent bootlid or try repair the existing one and I have the grill and infill panel just need some headlight outer garnishes as it had ke20 ones on it and I'm keen on flares when the time comes 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldie Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I might be able to help you out with a boot lid as I'm going up to my uncles farm in albury tomorrow and he has 2 of these I think out in the paddock.They are rusty but the boots etc. may have survived will have a look and let you know if ok.

dpb Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 That would be great thanks! I Got bored today after going to the tccav coffee cars and doughnuts meet this morning so I roughly slapped her together and chucked some Superlites on and one of my chin spoilers to give myself some motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I finally worked out who you are! The superlites look damn good on my AE86 too! But I'm glad this is where they are going. Let me know whenever your in a position to collect them. I'll try and strip the tyres off them later this week so they are ready for you.

parrot Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 In that case, are you sure you want 114.3? They won't fit the ke25 until you change the pcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpb Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yeh the front is already 4x114.3 the rear is still 4x110 wich I already have a pair of 13" Superlites to suit. I have a pair of 14" ones on the front ATM il get some 14" for the back when it's 4x114.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 My brother and i threw out a ke25 bare shell recently after we discovered the front end was very shitly joined on front another car.. I know he has doors etc still i'll ask him if he has bonnet and boot still as they were both quite good condition from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.T. Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 if there is more than one ke25 boot lid available - i might be interested in one of them fyi I may have te27 replica (fibreglass) centre consoles available shortly too - since genuine ones are so hard to find now there is a guy near me wrecking a ta22 if that is of any interest to you (diff?)

dpb Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I'm keen on anything that will be of use console especially, diff will be later on down the track but will still be good to get one sorted I also need a rh door glass as mines got burn marks from weld slag and ke25 headlight garnishes instead of the ke20 ones Edited June 16, 2014 by dpb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
