    Default Lachlan's El cheapo Ke70 skidder

    Hey pals,

    Picked this up the other night. Advertised for $750, messaged him and got it for $500 5 minutes after the add was posted. And he was local happy face.

    I didn't have any details other than "it's 4spd, has a locker and needs a tune". Boy was I happy when I picked it up at 11pm.

    Turns out had rear guards professionally pumped, 32/36 weber, new full 2" exhaust to shotgun pipes WITH 2 SPARKPLUGS BUILT INTO TIPS, alright interior, locked borgie, key bang switch, big cam, maybe uprated valves, shitty respray and 14x7 Dragways.

    Have an Ae71 Pedal box with clutch setup and crossmember for $150 locally on hold, getting a set of Ma61's from E famous pro drifter Jacob "Pecky" Peck when he sends them Monday, have a tacho dash already to put in and Au springs and commo shocks.

    I'll grab a 4age soon and I'll start to put it together.

    Can't go far wrong for 5 notes mate! I paid that for an ae71 8 years ago, stock as a rock, so you're doing pretty damn well

    Picked up a quad light setup for $40. YOU HEARD RIGHT. Has everything apart from the metal things that hold the lights to the car (big brain fart and can't remember name. Buckets?)

    Probably just get one from Thailand since I can't see anyone having one spare and customizing one would be a bit tricky. But $40, can't complain
