FranKE 70

[Y-B-NRVS]

Hey peps I've been building my ke70 for almost a year now & like most builds has snowballed out of control. It started life as a pretty nice clean little ke70 that I brought to put all my old ae86 parts that I took of Tha car after a truck that was behind me didn't want to stop at a red light ( & no I didn't pull in front & slam my brakes on he just had a fat foot & hit Tha go & stop peddle at Tha same time) & give it some paint & sell it but soon I thought nah il keep it. It all started with a set of FAT 15x10 inch rims then I had to flair Tha he'll outta Tha guards to make them fit then I sold Tha ae86 suspension & got hold of some coil overs then sold Tha jdm 16v & got a silvertop then sold Tha sprinter diff & got a tarago diff then sold Tha silvertop for a blacktop & got a hilux diff sold Tha lil sc14 blower I had & got a monster h122 of a gt500 SUPER SNAKE & a w57 box & a set of big ass willwood brakes so now it seems I've got Tha drive line I really want. Pic & updates when I get a chance hope y'all like it

Then i needed a way to fit those monster rims under tha back end so i got myself a pair of taiwanese guard & flaired them tha same way so i could cut tha pissie lilltle ones out of tha quarters & weld these big flairs in which i have bloody lost tha photos of me doing but you guys get tha idea

Then came tha time to cut out ALL tha rust in tha roof & let me tell you there was more then i first thought but i did get it all in tha end.

There was some rust at tha bottom of only one quarter how lucky was i it wasnt in tha other side as well LOL because i would of rather rust to be in tha other quarter instead it was under tha fuel flap which was a real pain to repair but once again i wanted a rust free shell so i got it done.

Then there was tha passenger side doors full of rust at tha bottoms. I did get my hands on some other doors but once i stripped them right back they werent any better then tha ones i all ready had so insted of lucky out on more doors i just bit tha bullet & set about repairing these ones which i think turned out pretty good

[Y-B-NRVS]

Then it was time to strip tha blacktop of everything that wasnt needed such as a/c, power steering & water pump as im going to run an electric water pump. Then came time to dumbie fit tha motor, tha modified pusler gtir inlet manifold that lets me keep tha quad set up & tha BIG MF of a supercharger. Let me tell you it was tight like a tiger fitting it BUT we got it in there & we can make it work which im over tha moon about HEHE. But because of tha extent of tha rust repairs i had to do to tha car we had to stop with tha fun stuff pull tha motor out & get tha car into hifill

I thought tha front guards needed a little something extra so this is what i came up with & now tha air has somewhere to go from tha cooling duct that will be going to tha front brake SOOO wish it was a 2door so i could do this for tha rear

[Jake70]

I like what you did with the guards! are you meshing them or leaving them open?

[Y-B-NRVS]

Just leaving it open so any low flying birds that get sucked in Tha brake duct don't get stuck lol

[Y-B-NRVS]

Thanks bud.

Good news today my missing bellhousing of 4months magicly appeared. So now I can mate motor & box together & make a monster braket for Tha blower

[Y-B-NRVS]

WOW how time flys when you got a family well good news is I'm kicking is project in that guts & into full steam ahead to try & get it done by Xmas & since i haven't really done anything since last time i was on here there is still a fair bit to do but i think it can & hopefully will be done so keep an eye on this space to see how i finally bring FranKE ALIVEEEEEE lol

[Y-B-NRVS]

Im back & let me say a lot has happen since i was last on here. The car is No longer supercharged after finally finding a engineer/machines that could take on the job we just couldn't make enough room for the bracket & pipe work so I've sold the supercharger & gone to the dark side & got a turbo i suppose if you can't beat em join em lol. Here is a few pictures of the turbo & where its going to sit.

Good choice going turbo first up. Looks like it will have a lot of potential.
Keep cranking on the spanners. Awesome

[Y-B-NRVS]
