Raven Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 :jamie: Lookin good Mick. great to see this thing on the road (registered). Hopfully you can get some better carbs soon, can't imgaine how much better it will go :) Its not registered yet. Still have to swap all the front end panels over and get the small dents in the body sorted and then a lick of paint. ;) Quote
SLO-030 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Posted September 21, 2009 I meant when it is finally regoed :jamie: will pull harder than a school boy Quote
JJT036 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) It's lookin' good Raven. For some reason, every Ke36 or Ke38 that I've seen in Melbourne either has Rust or Dents in or on it, and Sadly, This happened to be one of them, and Even my one was really bad when I got it. Parts for these Ke3x are getting rare by the day, but hopefully you'll find some that aren't as bad as they are now. I 'spose these little Corolla Wagons/Vans would suit with those 4-Spoke Dragways, because of the 4 Bolt Stud Pattern and because of the Shape of these Lil' Rockets. :P Are you planning on doing an Engine Upgrade, or sticking to the 3K-B and "Trick It Out"?? What colour are you going to spray this thing?? Cheers, Josh :cool: Edited September 22, 2009 by ewt Quote

Raven Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 Nice. What colour are you going to paint this Rocket?? Josh :P I'm keeping it the factory babyshit brown that it is. :cool: Quote
JJT036 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Fair Enough. Are you going to do a Respray of that colour?? Quote
Raven Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 Sure am. Will be sorting out the panels this weekend on the front end and hopefully get some of these minor dents in the bodywork sorted, then its sand back, primer and then paint. Just need to source myself some some scuff plates as mine are missing on both sides. Quote
JJT036 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 This thing is going to look Schmick when it's done. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Josh :P Quote
Raven Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Posted September 22, 2009 This thing is going to look Schmick when it's done. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Josh :P Likewise! I reckon you should come along to the GORC meet with your panel van, providing its sorted by then and do the camping weekend :) Convince the old man for some father/son time :cool: Quote

I would if... 1) The car ever starts and moves. 2) When everything is all finished. 3) When I start my L's. It won't be until I come up with some $$$ and make time to finish everything on it, then I'll be part of the Cruizes. Josh :P Edited September 22, 2009 by ewt Quote

Raven Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Posted September 23, 2009 I look forward to showing it to ya. Haha, yeah, I wont be doing that again in a hurry though. 37 hours knocked me about for a few days, thats for sure. The Magna coped with it somehow though :P Quote
TOM Posted September 23, 2009 Report Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) Great find, Raven...I love these things. Very much looking forward to seeing this when its finished! Wish I'd never sold mine, had a 38 windowless PV which I never started... Edited September 23, 2009 by TOM Quote
