Steve's 20

[steve_tm]

Hey all

 

been kicking around here on and off for a while, couple of questions here and there! thoughd i'd post up of what ive got

 

Had this KE-20 for 7 years and over th last year started doing some stuff to it. It got given to me from my great Arnt, so its been in th family since new

 

Its pretty mch original just with a few changes.

 

Engine.

-Was a 3K 3 (inculding reverse) speed auto

-Now a 5K, shaved heads, mild cam, extractors with a 2" exaust. managed to get a T-50 box for it with th adapter, yay! still a stock carby

 

Interior.

- Pretty mch the same as 1973 but now manual, and going to change th stereo over, still havent decided where to put th new head unit tho

- Dash is in overrated condition except for a small crack forming down th bottom right corner which i need to find something to fill

- Still orginal seats, no rips or anything

 

Suspension

-All stock

 

Wheels.

-Stock

 

Exterior.

- Straight with no rust except for stone chips here and there

- Few small dings from carpark cars, pull them out later!

- Just replaced the front and rear window seals

 

 

Future Plans.

- Get some mags, hopefully superlites, looking at 13" and running as wide as i can, jst something to fill thos guards, haha

- Install new stereo system

- Lower it

- KE-55 front break conversion

- Replace th stock carby with a webber or something along thos lines

- pull out any car park dings

- might put the aircon unit back in, maybe, that would be one of th last things

- Paint a few of th front guards around th lights

 

Here is a couple of shots, get some more later when i've tidyed it up a bit

If you're looking to go down the superlites road, RA28GT on here has (in my opinion) the best looking superlites on his KE20.

Would set yours right off if you did the same. Here is the link to his car if you haven't already seen it.

sweet ride Steve.

 

looks like a keeper.

 

throw your new headunit in the glovebox :) keeps it out of sight when not in use and the dash will thank you for not hacking it up.

 

try and keep it as original as possible.

 

cheers, scott
