I've been meaning to put this up for months (since Australia Day)

 

I had a BBQ at mine for Aus Day/JJJ hottest 100. Imagine; Snags, nice sunny day, 14m water slide

and some cold drinks straight from a ke70 Rolla Esky!

 

I started with a wreck I got for nix a few years back, cut it in half...

 

 

 

I then Grabbed a diff from a ke30 and welded it directly to the Chassis rails, got rid of the

bump stops, no need for them.

 

Painted it in Australian colours (can job + 20mins = dodgey job) but on strict time schedule.

 

Filled it out with 140mm thick Industrial insulation used in cool rooms, and a Stainless steel floor.

 

Covered all the sharps with rubber, left the seats and part of the roof on for a relaxing place to sit,

in the shade, wheeled it round the back and this is it!

 

Half full of drinks

 

Me, dressed for the day with my esky

 

Success!

 

Held a 100+ drinks and around 5 bags of ice. the ice stayed frozen right through till the next day.

Named it the ROL-SKE (read as Rol-s-ke = rolla esky) I was tempted to get plates!

 

Oh, and I only had around 5hrs to built it and very very little cash, hence the dodgey job but it worked a treat. ;)

 

Cheers!

 

Scott.

mate that is such a good idea!!!! good job aye. how much did it end up costing you for the stainless n shit?

i like that. ;) she needs a bit more dish though...

 

you need to do another one to park beside it with a BBQ in the back. :jamie:

Nuh, use the front end for the barbie and find a way to join the two halves back up with hinges, so to the unsuspecting eye it's just a bomb with most of the interior stripped....thats when you open her up for all to see

Hahah, awesome idea dude and looks great!

 

I like Hiros idea too, that'd be something special ;)

i reckon you need to cut and shut a frontend onto the boot and have both in one unit. esky oneside, BBQ the other. a dodgy pic would explain better.

 

barbske:

WOW!.... I WANT ONE!........ ;)

Nick and I intend eventually to build a mobile BBQ trailer out of the rear end of a KE70.. That way we can take it on our cruises and be able to stop anywhere to have a BBQ..

That is a very good idea. If we didn't live in a house that has little to no yard, I'd consider it.

 

You should use the rest of the car, turn the front seats around, put a table of sorts in the middle and turn the bonnet into a barbey.

Ha! I like this Doug, bee alot of work tho.

 

I got the stainless for free, my bro picked it up from a worksite scap pile for me ;) same for the

insulation.

 

My only costs were:

angle grinder blades

Cheap paint

Arc welding rods

 

And a few hours work.

 

I've actually got a front ended ke10 here with a good back I'm umming and arring about at the moment.

better than scrapping it.

I'd love to do a mk1 cortina one, real nice like.

 

Cheers for the comments,

 

Scott.

And you didnt show me when I was up there picking up my engine?

 

Shame, shame, shame!

 

Good work by the way ;)

Shit! sorry Mick, its under the house and i forget about it... next time mate.

Bahaha, its all good. I'm sure i'll heckle you for some parts for my next car :dance:

this is what i wanted to do with my ke25 shell, I'm just 2 lazy and wanted easi money insted, altho ill be keepin in the mind just how easi it is for when i come across my next shell.

 

cheers scott
