ScottKE1X Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 (edited) 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.

Mitch Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 mate that is such a good idea!!!! good job aye. how much did it end up costing you for the stainless n shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josho Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hahah, awesome idea dude and looks great! I like Hiros idea too, that'd be something special ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROLLN'03 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 WOW!.... I WANT ONE!........ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Ryan Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) 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.

ScottKE1X Posted July 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 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: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
