Jip's Ke25 - Tabitha

[JiP]

Here we go again. I've bought another car. :lolcry: I really don't know where to stop do I.

 

I know a lot of you have been wondering who bought that KE25 that was at the Ipswich wreckers up here in Queensland. Well I'm happy to say it was me and I'm making it official. I kinda don't know what I'm doing venturing into uncharted territory as I'm use to dealing with the KE3X/5X's. Thankfully she is pretty much complete other than a couple of bad spots.

 

So... I've taken a few brief shots of the car showing what she looks like in her present state. I'll take more on Friday after I have her cleaned up and polished like I have done with all my cars.

 

Tho dusty, the body looks great!!

A shot of the dash. Tho cracked I will get it repaired where I had my 30's one done. Still trying to decide where the stereo will go??

Toyoglide!! and maybe a spot for a tacho?? If not I might try to track down a stock tacho dash, but doubt I'll find one.

overrated seats!!

Door cars too.

I love the steering wheel tho the photo doesn't do it justice.

Toyoglide

Original toolkit

Not use to dealing with cars this old. I was like, where's the brake booster.

I found it funny seeing the water bottle hanging off the battery

I had to talk him into it when we went to look at it.

 

Nah they are mine, It was taken to my house as I'm only about 2km from the wreckers and i had the room to store it.

I also have cars all over the place...I think my welcome has been worn out too haha. And I am about to buy another one!!! jesus

[JiP]

thanks guys. Um... future plans... :D

 

I'm going to start with simple things. Like rego and having rust cut out of the front quarters. Carpet and dash restored. White Venetian Blinds and whitewalls with hubcaps. Might even try redwalls.

I'm also thinking of an upgrade to a 5K the the current engine isn't bad. Now I haven't mentioned the engine that it currently houses. It has a 4K which I might keep for a while. As for the paint... I'm leaning towards white with Pearl.

 

Any more thoughts??

 

Hopefully Friday i'll have more pics posted of the car cleaned up.

 

**EDIT** Also, does anyone have a pic of what KE25 hubbies look like??

[Tally]

yours is an early model so they would have come out with the KE10 style hubbies. The later models came with the sunflower style.

 

I have a full set of 4 with 2 trim rings if youd like.

 

Cheers
