Pulled all everythign out from under the car to tar is and found this, haddent really looked properly under there, i knew there was fiber glass in the bottoms of the quarter panels but didnt bother touchign em till i saw this, so doing alot of cutting and plating now... here progress so far. no welding yet. Here all the fiberglass/bog/rusted metal i pulled out of the rear quarters and a nice new sheet of metal ready to fill the holes :-) some pimpin roof racks (minus the clamps).. there actually a pretty nice pair. gonna stick em on every now and then for the pushy to go on the grinder bit me...my bad, least it didnt bleed

hahaha YES! love the sticker...ide like one but don't want to be a copy cat so ill leave it up to you.

nothing overly exiting but here some pics. Picked my drums up all machined, invoice in the mails so no idea what its cost me yet...I'm assuming cheaper than buying new ones. Moddified spring pack....pulled everything out under the back ready to tar the underbody Got some new idler arm bushes, the rest are on order for the steering?suspension components.

hey guys, yeh I went to a local guy he said round 1500 haha...brush that, ill learn it myself for that sorta money.. But he did say theres mobs in sydney and stuff that do reskins...ive gotta look into that yet but ill let you know how it goes. i havent done much on the car the past week, the old boys making me work every day I'm here, got feb off so will get into it more than.

few more bits painted up

gotta love to outdoors (none existent) spray booth....got one of my own in the carport. looks good. i should have used paint stripper, looks a bit easier, iv been on the 6 inch sander with 80 grit ripping it back....does the job though. Shame about the rust you gotta deal with but good on yah for keeping keeping another rolla on the road.

Theres primer on all panels sept the boot (doing that tomoro), engine bay and inside of car is also primed. Pretty much up to rubbing it back now. All the rust is taken care of, wasn't much there. Borrowed a mates tar gun to do the underside, probs do that some time in the next week. The 3k was running when it came out of a crashed ke30 4 door but it pretty easy to turn it over using the flywheel so I'm thinking it might need rings. Ill get a comp tester tomoro in town and will soon know if it healthy or not. My dash has 3 pretty bad cracks in it so going to take that in this week and get a quote to get it fixed up...ill see what they can do. So I'm gonna spray the engine bay and inside than start putting it back together and get the outside of the car done by someone who knows what there doing. The car has to be on the road by the end of feb so should see some changes over the next few weeks. So thats where its at

Ive got about 1500-2000 to get this on the road and maybe some mother father sponsors if i need a little more....but thats no budget to fit a 4age in do engineering and rego. I was a chippy when i go that ecar so i had income..now I'm a uni student and tight as lol. I plan to keep this for a fair while and eventually 4agte it. but that a few years off yet.

heres the wheel sound system and freshly cleaned and sprayed (with rust guard paint) steering box

here a bit of a post revival, ive just edited the post above

Yeh nice little ke, bummer bout that ding in frotn of the back door handle. Is that a photo of the motor thats in it cause it looks like one out of a ke36 that was on ebay a little while back. but would look tidy in urs. what was ur wheel specs, offset and nut spacings, I'm lookin a buying a set for on mine just wanna check I'm getting the right ones.

Alright its been well over a year and not a whole lot has happened but it about to happen. Ive been at uni all year didn't do much work at all but it time it got back on the road and out of dads shed lol. Scratch everything i said at the top of the post...things have changed. Heres whats happening now due to lacking funds from uni and not working lol. IT STAYING STOCK haha...I'm doing a full overhaul to get it looking nice and tidy again (i got it looking like shit as the pics show). new carpet, seats, try do something with the dash, paint the full thing inside out and engin bay, tar the underside etc, etc....just a general clean up. Theres a few goodies still going in -some camber Noltec camber tops on ke55 struts and brakes with stiff lower springs -5 speed box -stereo system that ell to the trick, 2x 6x9", 2x 6", sub and amp, all clarion...nothing to fancy -some pretty chrome steelies Think thats about it Heres some pics of what i was like and whats been happening the past few weeks, I should be all done by end of feb. So there some pics, bikes are the other things i spen money on so thought ide stick that in there. As you can see my drum arnt to flash, there off to the engineers next week. I had a top hat style piece made up to replace the very rusted out piece under the radiator that so might have picked, local sheet metal fabricator made that up for me. Happy to hear any suggestions if you notice anything I'm doing dodgy. Paints holden commy "red hot" the colour you see on the new ones getting around...I'm using 2 pac paint. With the rear springs theres an extra leaf in there turned upside down the lower it and stiffen it, ill have to see if that get through bluey...if not ill deal with it then Let me know what you all think.....

I got this ke30 1974 mod a few weeks back for money. Its a 2 door and i hear there not real easy to find, got it off a friend of a friend. ive got a ke30 4 door that my mate crashed and its still got alot of goodies on it that are coming across into/onto mine. what I'm goin to do. -full re-colour -4age engin convo (pickin it and a box up this weekend) -corona front struts -wheels -re-trim dash cause its cracked as, but not to worry -new door trims ans carpet -sound system (on way) -lower it and make it look tidy all round pretty much -i would like to put a g or t series rear axle setup in it but am not to fussed yet, i have originals that will do the job for now. -not sure if i liek to idea of tinted windows yet here is what it looks like atm a few question if anyone could answer that would be great, 1 is there an easy way to clean the engine bay and take off the paint or is the good old hand gonna have to rub it all back? 2 wats everyone think? cheers hope you all enjoy watching it evolve, ill put up pics soon as anythin worthy comes along
