Andrew's ke70 fun car = project over..

[slidn70]

Hey everyone my name is Andrew, been reading this forum for awhile now. all your ke's/ae's are awesome. Some really good ideas and good inspiration to get mine looking/going good

Heres my car, its a 82mdl stock as a rock atm. I'm the second owner. its got 81,000kms genuine kms on it. full toyota service history and log books. interior is mint (there was some plastic on the driver seat still from factory!). i brought it from the auctions and it had been smashed its an XX model too. leather g/knob, tacho dash and 5spd. the 4k and drivetrain are strong.

Here's some pics when i brought it home




Here's what it looks like now: (this was my first go at lining up panels, so go easy on me )





Pic of the interior. seats are really puffy and soft. havn't sagged one bit


Plans for it are to get it registered then:

Falcon springs (got them)
Sports steering wheel (on its way, need boss kit though. anyone?)
respray and flared guards(boot lid and bonnet will be black)
extractor for the 4k (got them)
2" system
I've got some 15x6.5 ive got my eyes on
Locker

later down the track 20v s/top t50 etc.

thanks
Andrew

Looks like a solid base man... do a 4a conversion and just stick a 4ac in it or something until you can afford a ge lol... it will get you around and be a lot quicker than a 4kc!!!

did u buy this from a dude in capalaba?

[starni_boy]

hey man.. congrats on joining all of us in building a strong ke70. looks the goods and clean as. much rust in it??

[slidn70]

Thanks for the welcomes

Bustin 86 - I might look into a 4ac conver, if i organise myself over the holidays.

Hilton - i brought it from the auctions, but the car was originally from balwyn in melbourne.

Starni - only rust is from scratches in the tyre well. two tiny surface rust marks about the size of a 20cent peice. i was very surprised, so i had to buy it got it for $400.

hopefully i get a rwc tomorrow so i can drive around and start the mods!

Thanks driftke70


Got the roadworthy inspection today, didnt go too bad. need a windscreen and new front shocks.

Since i need new shocks/cartiridges on the front is there anything i can upgrade them with instead of replacement ke70 ones? The monroe gt's for the ke70 strut are like 250$. It will be getting the falcon springs soon and she will be real low. so i want short throw shocks.

Any other model car's shocks i can use in the ke70 struts?

thanks fellas

[starni_boy]

contact ajps if you want some good shocks.. his name on this forum is truenosedan. he sells lots of parts from his warehouse.

[Bustin_86]

Fark thats a rip off bro! get some kyb excel g short stroke shocks for a similar price lol.

Talk to Lawson (truenosedan) and explain to him what you need. I highly recommend him and deal with him as much as i financially can lol He will hook you up and he is very flexible.

Lawson lluurrvvee!
