Name: Jarrad

 

Car: 1981 KE55 Sedan

 

Motor & Driveline: All stock unfortunately (Re-Conned 4k though :))

 

Suspension & Brakes: Stock again

 

Wheels & Tyres: Some more stock

 

Interior: Crap condition and stock, minus the drivers seat which was changed before I bought it.

 

Body: Pretty crap, lots of rust. Lookin to get another decent shell.

 

Other: Engine seems real good, was worth the $100 alone. Got myself a car to play with though. It's my first rolla, definately not my last though.

 

Dad says the rust is fix-able, so I beleive him. Just since i've had the car at home and looked at it a bit more. I've noticed a few more things, so probably going to buy a KE30 or another KE55 if I can get one on the cheap (even with a rooted motor, cause i have a lovely one right here (L))

 

Cheers guys.

WoW that looks very clean. I'm liking the wheels too, they aren't stockies are they??

 

They are 13s but they must be fairly wide as it has 205s on there, so at a guess 6.5" wide? Not the skinny little things they came standard with anyway.

I will update pictures when I get a chance, I now have a Specometer tach and Kenny sticker.

Also, fitted a brand new inner tie rod end (got it for trade price too :) ), that was what caused the vibration, not flat spots.

 

hey just wondering how much it cost you fro the inner tie rod end cause I'm for a new one too
