Dylan's ke70
Alright, I'm a first year mechanic, give me a break, I don't know everything.. Yet
So I have a white ke70 with a nice shell, and a shitty spray painted red ke70 with a nice shell but with a sunroof, both have shit interior but the red one has a rebuild engine, lumpy cam, weber carby. I built it cause it had rego and was my daily driver, but the time came I wanted a rally car, and my plan of using no sunroof brought my thought of engine conversion.
So I did the conversion, straight 4k so it was pretty easy, Put in some k-max suspension in the front, and new rotors. Got some wheels off eBay and put in some brown leather seats and brown carpet. The car has a blue dash and blue doors but that's all soon to come off once I do my 4age conversion for my rally car but I just wanted to get it running for now.. I plan to put black trim on the doors and make it just the blue dash. Roll cage ect..
I did this pretty much just for the learning experience, even better that I did the whole engine, suspension and half interior swap and got it working. In a month. Just need to do some tuning and it will be my first build, well conversion..
I'm going to upload pics of my progress so far soon.. Also going to do a thread for my 4age conversion once I get the money. Might fail, but lets just wait and see.
Cheers, also I'm not too experienced so some cool ideas if what I could do to my ke would be awesome.

Registered and cleanednow I just gotta save my penny's for my 4age conversion!
should be a nice lil project mate. theres a bit of info on here about tacho dashs, just have a look around. it needs to be connected to the neg side of the coil from memory
Age old 'I would do suspension first' post.
And rebuild the 4age while getting suspension sorted. A lot of them are closer to 30 than 20 years old, and it's better to know what you are really dealing with while limiter bashing past commodores. Also provides a hands on learning experience.

You're a first year, I'm sure the dudes at your work will help you after hours.
Unless they are ####s.
Should do engine tear down at tafe in your first year anyway
I hope so!! I don't start tech till July though, I was employed too late to start at the start of the year :/, also, got my license back today and my car runs fine in neutral, backfires a if I give it too much, but as soon as I put a load on it it backfires like crazy and stutters and it feels fuuuuuged. Any ideas? It blows a bit of smoke too when I rev it. Blown head gasket?
