hi. i thought i would share my ke30 restoration i started about a month ago . i bought this car for 200 bucks of ebay

its not in the best shape as you can see(sorry about the shitty photos). iv had all ready taken the motor and gear box out. the dude over heated the motor and cooked it. so i clean the engine bay did a bit of sanding, degreseing and some good elbow grease heres the engine bay . i can't up load any more photos so i have to wait till tomorrow

Polish it looks pretty shitty as you can see but here’s the after shot.

 

I used etch primmer before my dad painted the engine bay in ford blood orange

So I had a good 4k engine and 5speed box out of a ke70. So I decided to paint the engine and polish parts of it

Before.

 

After

[canna]

Here a pic of the engine just in the engine bay not wired up no exhaust or carby

 

 

Here as I have put exust and webber it’s a 32/36 jetted down for the 4k

 

 

 

tell me what you guys think

[Kid-Ae]

Looks neat man :P

 

what other plans do you have for her?

[roladude]

how long have you had this for

you look like your pretty keen on getting this back on the road.

[JiP]

Very nice man. Great work on that engine bay and engine. Looks HOT!!

[canna]

Thanks for all the great comments dudes. I had her for a month. Soon as I got her home I and my mate Tim had the engine and box out within an hour. But I’ve been working on her every weekend and if I finished work early. But my dad has helped heaps it’s at his work shop and has got all the tools there to do a good job. Not going to do much with the old girl, as it just for a daily. Wait till I start my early ke20. Paint the body same as the engine bay. Not sure about rims or size. A lot of work is going in to the body to get it straight as possible. But hopefully before ill have it on the road by Christmas. heres some more pic

Gday all has been a while since i have up dated this. shit almost a month since last time. since them i have really been working on the body because she was rooted. lots of rust in the common spots

and so many little dents in it. a lot of cutting and welding new parts in. Half of the left hand door seal had to be replaced.

i also got the engine bay all completed.

[canna]

also got stuck into the inside and ripped out all the seats carpert. the dash is not the best so if any one has a good ke30 dash let me know.

 

some thing that my old man turned up on the lathe for me. shocker tower plug

 

 

 

heres the body

 

 

now every thing will be done to the body. then sprayed in primer and left untill summer and its ht that way we can get a good finish of the gun

[Falken_KE30]
