Where is the best place to get parts for a ke55

Gumtree, eBay, Facebook, or just go to wreckers really

 

Once upon a time I would make regular pickapart runs in the hope I would come across one of my models. Didn't happen often, in fact hardly at all. Haven't seen a KE1x or KE 2x for quite some years, and have only ever seen one AE86.  .Yet when I saw one, I would mercilessly strip out anything remotely useful. Down to the nuts and bolts.  Now I have a good stash to get me through. 

These days, it pays to keep a close eye on the for sales and wrecking threads here. You can also look at stock online and even photos of the cars at pickapart or centre Rd wreckers if you are in Melbourne.

As mentioned, the usual auction sites, but best of all you need to build up contacts, and on here is a good place to do that.  

The key thing is, you have to be patient!  

I've seen plenty of ke10 and ke20 shells recently. Find them in the can food section of coles. Recycling:(

Are they in the same aisle as hens teeth....

You're making me cry now.

There does seem to be a few decrepit KE55's around still though isn't there?

 

Last time i went to the wrexkers near me which was at least 3yrs ago there was hardly anything pre-1990. An ae92 was very rare.

Great Western is crushing post-2000 cars now. He's keeping a few KE70s & KE55s there, old Dattos and stuff.
