67Rolla-Ken Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Posted November 3, 2008 You can get 9 in poly-carb... Quote
Chobis Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) oooooooh yeh! This is coming along. Block looks excellent. So so bright! Can't wait to see update pics of the painted body. This car makes me feel happy :jamie: :D :D Edited November 3, 2008 by Chobis Quote
Doogs Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Looking good mate, good work + happy birthday :jamie: Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Posted November 19, 2008 Genuine KE10 glove-box handle arrived earlier this week, thanks a lot Paddy. I think I got more excited about that than most of the other bits :jamie: Spoke to AJ (Brother-in-law doing the paint at 'Smash & Restro, Goomaling'), body in getting the final coat on Saturday!!! Interior is nearly finished painting, engine bay still needs a bit more rubbing back. All in all sounds about 2 weeks away!! Engine just needs the kits for the new carbies, new cam, piston rings, might buy a new water pump. Are the 3K water pumps different to the 5K?? Have someone who might be interrested in sponsoring her, I was thinking $3K (Borg warner diff conversion) and they can put their name down both sides? The company in question has a red line under their name and use red and white as their colours, so should look quite good. Quote
Chobis Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Mate, I got excited when I saw the revised title of this thread. I was hoping to see pics of a fresh white KE10. I feel ripped off! :jamie: Hehe...... I guess I have to wait a bit longer but I reckon this is gonna be one awesome car. As for the sponsorship, I have never been a fan of that stuff on cars..... however, it means you can make the car a bit more fun.... and..... at least red and white will suit well with the car. Either way...... I can't wait to see the end result of this car. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Posted November 19, 2008 Will be getting pics over the weekend. Hoping to submit a couple for the calendar. The sponsorship thing is just pie in the sky at the moment, but I think it may get a bit more serious when I can show them a car... still, I'm only dealing with a company rep at the moment who wants me to continue to spend thousands of $$ per week with them :jamie: The bosses might not be interrested at all...

67Rolla-Ken Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Posted November 22, 2008 (edited) OK.... not getting pics until Monday when extirior is finished and dry :( it's killing me! Gearbox is painted red, turned out ok Interior, boot, engine bay are getting finished this week... Car is coming home next weekend! :) Will take a couple thousand pics... :bash: Oh, and the engine rebuild is starting next weekend. Edit: I think I'll start a new thread when I get the car back?

philbey Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Ahh engine rebuilding. Taking any bets on completion dates? Quote
