Chris' Street/Track Ke70

[Chrisrundell69]

well i thought id start a thread to keep my self motivated to get this thing finished asap.

This is what my ke70 started as.
Mint granny spec, 120000kms 4spd manual.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/1/7/0/42363.jpg

was driven around for a few months just stock standard but then decided couldn't do it anymore, needed to be worked on.

got a full set of brand new king springs for $50 wasn't complaining for the price, pick up front and rear strut braces for $120 delivered, put in a new stereo and also found pair of 14x7.5 meshies which i got for $120. this was all about 3 months ago and sine then its just been sittin in the driveway looking sad.

but in the last couple of weeks is where most of the work has happened. Mostly today ahah
- Deposit on a sick 4age halfcut
- Removed some rust and primed it
- Bought some more wheels. so now have pair of 14x8 -4, 14x8 0, 14x7.5 -4

This week i'll be
- Getting rid of some other rust and respray the interior and inside boot a different colour
- Sanblasting rims and painting centres gold again.
- Fit rear strut brace
- Fix some dodgy stereo wiring
- Remove 4k and paint engine bay

anyways enough talking heres some pics of engine and me rolling guards and playing around with rear height seeing how low it would go haha

[Chrisrundell69]

[ke70 xx]

Ill help you polish it if you want. Mine came up so good and you saw it. And ill drop the tailshaft off tomorrow I reckon. If you dont finish this I will be very disappointed. So get to it asap!!

[Chrisrundell69]

The ones I bought don't need polishing at all man they are mint as! The fronts are the ones I had before I'm going to sandblast them tomorro and paint em so I have 6 rims. There only 7.5 wide ones I bought off jay were 8 :)
