Dan Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 To be honest, this is one of the most inspirational KE's that i've seen on these forums... everytime i see it, makes me want to go out and work on my car :thumbsup: You may be able to do a XF Falcon style spare wheel, in the drivers side inner guard, sitting upright, though this most probably wouldn't work due to a) sadly, pre-82 KE's have leaf springs :cool: and b) i think your putting a sub there... You could, perhaps, cut out the spare wheel well, and weld a similar (or same one, i'm not the best in the fabrication/welding game...) upside down, with a securing bolt welded to the centre, and a large wingnut for keeping it up there, similar to what you would find on a four wheel drive or pre-WB holden ute. This would then free up your floor, you could go as far as flat floors, cupboards, hell, even a kitchen sink (would make a sick sub enclosure :D).... If I was going to do up a KExx that would be my plan... I've also heard of people who want to toy around with wagon rear ends, but I don't want to ruin there achievement, so I won't bother explaining... That all said, I'm pretty sure that as long as you don't cover more than 1/4 of the spare wheel with the cupboards, you're not going to run into any problems, it should fit in and out without any problems. Toy around with a spirit level or piece of bar and you'll find out whether i'm right, or (most probably) wrong... Anyways, good luck anyway... one inspirational rolla :y: Dan.

evilbetty Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 hay thanks guys for the great remarks ,much apreciated, I'm pretty busy this week but will definatley post up a few more things the following week end i got a few things that i want to do ie: build a sub box and mount it somewhere, that one has got me stumped at the moment because i still want acess to the spare wheel and tools but also don't want a huge box taking up my hole boot so will be doing a lot of thinking on that one, another thing is removing the clock from the dash and replacing it with a 2 inch tacho,also this could prove to be a pain but should be possible???? any one done that be fore?????

Rolla__Boy Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I've had a tacho where the clock goes, also a boost guage. I just bought a car the other day, and it now has a temp gauge where the clock was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolla__Boy Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 If you are asking about my dash pic Jip, I did that myself. KE30 clusters are different though. I will write up how I did that one later when I finish work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) :thumbsup: -Sounds great!! Is that a KE55 cluster?? Edited July 16, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yep it sure is. The KE30 ones need to be scanned into a pc and printed out, like I did with the one out of my coupe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 (edited) :thumbsup: Cause my KE30 with the KE55 dash has the KE55 cluster. I know that it has to be scanned into a pc, but was unsure how to get around it cause the faces aren't flat??
