Project Ksev

So im starting this a little early as i dont have the car yet.. untill tomorrow.
making a 3hr stip out to orange to grab a bargain Ksev, ive got heaps of inspiration for this car, ive owned one Ksev granny spec in the past and that was hell fun to drive in the wet!

[wide s13]

looks like a good buy

[greeneyes]

haha! Well done, into it already!

That money offset some of the "auto to manual conversion" costs on our car, so I'm happy!

[sundee]

the auto box is already at the tip along with the pedal box and some other random bits n pieces

just about ready to order some stuff from ajps...
Front and rear swaybars.. selbys F - 24mm adj and R - 20mm Adj
and AJPS panhard rod

going to get my engine crain out of storage so i can take out the 3kc and get to work

[sundee]

update. will post pics tonight. got all the interior out, except dash top and center console, cut out some decent rust i found in the front of the pax side chasis rail. and engine is all ready to come out tomorrow.

next step i think is to get the pedal box sorted then bolt the front end in followed closly by the 4a..

need to get some dry ice tomorrow to assist removing the sound deadening

[sundee]

pics!!

rust cut from chasis rail

Bride in for some inspiration


rails are for an Ae86 only hole that doesnt quite line up is the rear outer.. only out by 5mm or so.. easy fix!
Did something that ive been thinking of for ages.. its kinda instant wide body KE in 5 minutes! guards will be flared after this aswell! check it

It looks like you've started with a good base for a project, but i have a few comments - some constructive, some not:

- Good on you for actually finding and cutting the rust out of the rail, not many would do that unless doing a restoration on a rotissery.

- Although I think the widebody with the slotted front guard mount holes is a nice idea, i suppose you are aware that the gap between the front guard and bonnet is going to be huge?

It'd be a better idea (in my opinion) to space the bottom of the guard out if you're having clearance issues, which it looks like you're not.

Nice idea anyway.

- Finally, that steering wheel is super homo.

Good luck with your build, i look forward to seeing it progress.

haha that steering wheel is going in the trash as soon as i get around to putting the nardi on! mayb u could have it? hahah jokes... the rust.. well i hate rust and it was to bad for me to leave it.. didnt take long to fix, its gone now so thats the main thing, nah not having clearance issues.. and yeah im aware of the massive bonnet gap which u can see in the photos and also i expect their to be a decent gap between the front indicator and the guard 2.. which i dont actually care about because i think its something different and i really like it.. stay tuned.. going to get my engine crain from storage today cheers Javal
