doityourself Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) It saddens me to say that the cancer in my beloved KE 30's roof has finally taken its toll. The rust patches under the vinyl roof have spread and now the car leaks in various places inside the cabin, just the other night a drunk derro slammed his hand on the roof of the car on one of the worst patches, as I got out of the car he piss bolted to his car and got away. The question that has been constantly residing in my head is what to do? I would love to fix her up but my money is tied up in other area. I know feel all I have done is a waste. Hey all, My KE30 has been SOLD tonight as of Tuesday 10/05/07 at 1:00AM Edited May 9, 2007 by doityourself
JiP Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 a drunk derro slammed his hand on the roof of the car on one of the worst patches, as I got out of the car he piss bolted to his car and got away. WoW, do ya have any pics?? Also, how poor are the derro's if they have cars?? Did you get his details?? (rego) Report him for vandalism
smacko84 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 mate that sucks! you can't find a donor car and just replace the roof? bit of creative angle grinding???
Raven Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 I say find another KE30 and transplant everything over.
love ke70 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) scrap the lot and get a newer, nicer car with everything done from factory... much money can be made from parting out... Edited April 29, 2007 by love ke70
Raven Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 scrap the lot and get a newer, nicer car with everything done from factory... much money can be made from parting out... Some people actually like to build up an older car from scratch and I'm pretty sure he is one of those people. Just don't get a KE70 Dale, or I'll get you the numberplates "KLEENEX" cos they look like a tissue box :)
doityourself Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks fellas that helps abit, at the moment I am going to drive it around and put some money away, then we will decide what happens. If I save enough and the weather fines up till then I can get a new roof welded on professionally and painted for $1000 If things don't go well then I will look at getting another car, something like a Suzuki Hatch 800cc. It seems that the KE30's the car of my life are a dying breed and are usually filled with cancer. And finally "love KE70" I have tried the buy a car with everything in it, and they are expensive to fix, hence the reason I am selling my Pulsar SSS.
Raven Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Dale, there is a KE30 for sale down my way for 400ish. Probably knock him down. Just needs paint. Use your current car as a donor car for it. Contact Nawty4 about it dude. They're around, just depends how much money you want to pump into them.
doityourself Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) Cheers for that Mick, I know of a KE30 rolla 3K auto down south for $150, the body is better than mine, it does have a spot of rust just below the rear quarter vent though (I thought its a weird place for rust but a shell is a shell) At the moment I am in no rush, just got to see how this pans out. There is no point doing it again unless the timing is right. However I am almost leaning towards either a Subaru Sherpa, Suzuki 800cc Hatch, or a Diahatsu Charade, I think it has something to do with the UNDER-UNDER DOG. Edited April 29, 2007 by doityourself
Raven Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 Or the appeal of owning a hairdressers car? :)
counc Posted April 29, 2007 Report Posted April 29, 2007 dude that sux i hate to hear about peoples cars being damaged by complete morons, yeah the rust might of set in and all but it doesn't necessarily mean it was going to cause the dramas your having atm :)
doityourself Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Posted April 29, 2007 Cheers for the comment counc, And raven, the small car is mostly for SPL sound comp purposes
Felix Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Deleted all the off topic posts. If you want to wanger wave, go create a wanger waving thread. :) Sorry to hear about the rust in your car dude. My advise would be to go find a granny spec country car and go from there.
doityourself Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Posted April 30, 2007 Decided tonight that its time to do the hard yards, I am going to stick this car out. Firstly I will pay off my in-dash no screen dvd mp3 player, then it'll be time to put away money for the roof chop.
