10yrs Ke10

[tenyearguarantee]

well ive been a user here for a wee while, asking a few ke10 related questions and here's why

 

this is the old girl as i first bought it, wasnt running but managed to get it running for a bit. wasnt regd tho,

 

 

after a bit of time i decided to see what was under the paint. The primer spots were either bog or rust

 

 

so far not much has happened. bought an engine to stick in

 

 

here in nz, 12at are allowed, so long as its done right

 

here are the mounts, engine bracket and cross member i made at work

 

 

and this is the diff, its an f series out of an old corona

 

 

well thats about it, i got some parts and stuff on the way, will take more pics and post later.

 

here's my ke20 that i drive around in

Looking good mate. So are you doing the full resto? Or just getting it fixed up and on the road? Or drags? What are your plans for it?

[13BT_KE20]

love the choice of motor!

yeh its been in dry storage at my dad's for the past year. When it gets here i got me a garage that its going into, its a large single garage so i should be able to fit some spares and do some work in it.

 

Planning to supercharge the 12a, just for something a bit different. Plus to get a larger turbo in there while keeping the engine positioned nicely would create exhaust geometry issues. But its difficult working with the size restrictions of the engine bay.
