Apocalyptic KE70.
This was the start of my old build thread when i first started the car which i was going to run an s13 setup but due to it being more head fucking than your younger sister i changed my mind to run complete toyota front end
heres a link to my old thread if you wanna have a suss
it has come along way since then

since then there is a nice big hole in the firewall which is in the process of being welded up (pics will be up soon) and is now being supported by a nice standard xmember with custom mounts with AJPS Coilys with 86 knuckles hubs and brakes.
Also came across some BC height and dampener adjustable rear shocks
i also sent my diff to BOSS Diffs up in lonsdale to get what one of my mate corey got done to his 31 diff
which basically was getting the sleeves of the ke70 diff cut off and the sleeves of the 31 diff get cut off and welding the ke70 sleeves onto the 31 center with a mini spool and shortening the axles a maximum of 12mm. (pics coming of the rear setup)
put all the standard arms back in except for an AJPS adjustable panhard rod.
Was also pondering around what wheels i want to run i found these at my work which was what i wanted to run on the rear
but it was going to be abit hard to run 15x10 -25 with a diff still wider than the standard one
so i picked a set of these steelies up
which were 15x8 -9 4x114.3 which sounded pretty good until i tried to fit them in the guards and this happened
so im in the middle of 're-sculpting' my rear guards
Heres just a pic of what the front looks like so far with the flared guards ( camber tops coming soon to bring the wheels in the guards)
How it sits at the moment getting ready for wiring and new fuel and brake lines!

What issues did you have with s13 stuff upfront man?
Hey mate, just getting everything to line up perfectly and getting a uni joint for the steering rack as the ke and the s13 ones don't fit, was just easier using all ae86 gear so don't have to worry about different castor arm brackets and that other mambo jumbo
Just weld the steering shafts together lol! not sure what uni's are on mine but pretty sure its just chopped down the center and welded togther
in terms of the castor rod stuff, just ke gear and redrill the LCA to suit
Yeah a little late now as all the 86 gear is already in, a couple of my mates have s13 front ends so it will be good to see if we can feel a difference in handling
