Scott's Ke10 Build.

[ScottKE1X]

Thought it was about time I put up a project thread.

 

Since selling my ke11 I've felt the need to get some work done

on my ke10 project. But seeing as I live 70kms from it and

never get time to do anything on it i figured Id show you

all where I'm up too...

 

I Found this on the side of the road on the way home one night,

it was getting ready to be loaded and taken to the crusher.

So when the truck came to pick it up, i got it directed to my

house instead. For a small fee.

 

heres the specs:

 

1969 ke10-b white

4k with original 4 speed

95% complete.

Rusty, but most contained to permanent panels.

Unmodified

 

And here's how it looked the day i got it:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rusty? these are the worst areas

 

 

 

 

 

So, i started to strip it. Always good fun.

 

 

 

Cut out the rusty spots, making sure I got it all

 

 

 

Thanks to my 1967 ke10 donor car I had a panel just the right shape

 

 

 

Welded it in

 

 

 

Good thing I had a fire extinguiser handy, this is the roof lining on the

other side of the C pillar I was welding...

Since these pics I've lowered it ALOT all round, done a ke20 disc brake conversion

and purchased myself a 5k or two...

 

So, I need you all to motivate me to get back into it!!

Hope this turns out as good as your KE11, my mate just bought a KE10. I'm starting to like the KE1X more than my KE25.

:y:

 

The only thing wrong with a ke25 is it isnt a ke10. But a very nice ride none the less...

 

cheers

 

 

Scott.

[flat out]

looks like you have it all under control,

i know of a ke10 not far away which need the same treatment from me, that reminds me i must go see that dude!

[ScottKE1X]

off you go then, you'll never forgive yourself if it gets scrapped.

[Felix]

Best of luck with it. :jamie:

 

Not worrying about the rear pillar vents? They look better without them anyway.

But it orginally had them?

 

And it is used for the flow so the rear window doesnt fog up hardcore? :jamie:

 

Someone,

Please, think of the vents!

Possibly... What did they do in the earlier ke10's? I've got 2 earlier ke10's myself (not here though), but never really had a good look.

:hmm: I dunno, but its clear that the vents go onto the back window

 

Its either that, or to create some rear end downforce

 

:jamie: :y: :fuzz: :lolcry: :cool:

[ScottKE1X]

The vents are definately there to attempt to defog the rear window.

I had a good look in there when I had the hole cut out...

 

As doug sais, there's none on the early models (as thats where i got

the metal from) and i think it looks better without them, cleaner.

 

My ke11 rear window was always fogged up anyway, even with the vents.
