While sitting at a mates house last week, some weird guy walked up his driveway, we didn't take much notice until he came down to our room. He was some weird German guy that asked if we knew the mechanic up the road, then said that he'd sent him down and offered us his KE70 for $400, so me and my mate Brenton went halves. It's in alright condition, bar the blown head gasket and a bit of rust in the back but it's the XX model so it has the very luxurious boot and petrol release and a nice 5-speed. Drives ok but he took the rego with him. I was most impressed though by his name. When he wrote out the receipt we discovered his name was Dragan...hence the 'Dragan KE' label.
Anyway, within ten minutes of owning it it had no seats and very little carpet but no camera so we missed the first day or so's progress. Here's the pictures.
Stock form, minus some interior:
Then yesterday we got stuck into painting the interior:
Today we decided to chop the springs till we sort out the real suspension gear:
It's pretty safe to say these won't fit until we get those guards flared...front and rear
Looks cool but.
Had to settle for hotwires on the rear and stocko's on the front because only three hotwires have tyres:
Eventually we're planning a 4AG, sprinter front struts, we have the Sigma control arms to go in but they need a bit of work, sierra's in the rear, all the usual stuff.
Enjoy.
