lol.

i bought this today.

been sitting in an aircraft hanger for 15 years.

the radiator corroded to nothing years ago. so its missing that. i will try a ke70 ones tomorrow (think itll work?) and mess around with it, try to get it to run.

if it does.. i might grab some decent 13s for it and some small tires. otherwise its getting parted, or sold :) would be cool to get it running though. not a bad little car.

With the radiator, I think using the KE70 one you'll just have problems with the top hose. From memory the 4K radiator's top hose is in the middle/slightly to the left, bottom is on the right which is the right side for the 3T.

Nothing serious..

Not too sure about pipe size to be honest. But yeah, nothing too serious. :D

Edit: Car looks good underneath all that dust by the way. haha

yeah, its a decent little car. the add was a bit funny so went to have a look, and here we are.

i like the idea of just getting it running, and using it as a daily, maybe with just enough punch to be fun. possibly just a cam and like a single webber. and some cool wide 13" rims, slammed. pretty inconspicuous car.

but ill have to see what it runs like first before i make any decisions. if its really slow, im not going to bother. dont think i have enough dedication to do an engine conversion on this one.

they are a fairly close match for a 71...

dont forget that with the 3t top outlet you can just flip it 180 to suit near on any radiator...

had to rebuild a starter for it - guts of a 4ac starter will fit a te72 :)

You know how images of Jesus are often appearing on random things like bits of toast, toilet walls, clumps of pet hair etc? Well when looking at the first picture, I noticed something unusual...

Damn, shouldn't have dusted it off. Some ebay nut-job would've given you a gazillion dollars for it.
