DAM!! I haven't seen this thread in a while. Its gotten pretty far. Awesome job with the paint man. You can't go wrong with orange on a 70's car :hmm:

[greenmac80]

thanks man much appreciated!!

 

my progress for tonight..

 

pulled the cruddy old x member out..

 

and put a powdercoated seam welded one in.

 

also put this in.

 

well most i don't have a good steering box atm nor the correct steering arms so its half bolted in.

this stuff is all new with urethane bushes.

 

tomorrow i'm off to UPI hopefully to get a good condish brown rear seat also hopefully some ra60/65 power steering arms and whatever else tickles my fancy while i'm there.

[greenmac80]

ok so UPI went pretty well today.

 

got some ra60 p/s arms also got one of those under glove box trays. and some coupe seat belt ends. still need to find a good condish rear seat in brown.

[greenmac80]

did aight today. sorted alot of stuff out down the workshop.

and as for the car... i installed new front brake hoses. put the last caliper and fresh pads on.

and

installed brand new indicators

brand new rear lisence plate lights

brand new radiator overflow bottle.

also installed all the hardware for 4 door central locking.

 

now for people that have done the central locking thing.... how much is the rear doors a pain in the ass.!! lol

"I take this out... And put this in" :)

haha its good when you've got everything in the shed ready to go!!

 

well todays update.

painted this.

 

 

[greenmac80]

fitted up the splitter... i remeber now how much of a bitch these are to fit properly on your own..

how how much they DON"T line up properly. but hey after much messing about its on and it looks good.

 

 

also this side is all bolted together. waiting on cash to get my reco steeringbox.

also i powdercoated my steering arms.. but on one of em i forgot to mask the tapers! DOH!

so thats in the stripper at work setting me behind. oh well.

 

 

i'm powdercoating my rona steelies tomorrow and hopefully picking up my new tyres.!

 

cheers, Luc

Looking fresh mate! Thats probably the best looking front lip I've seen on a ke30. Most of them look funny if you ask me but that looks good..

 

Not sure about the pin stripe though.. Looks like it needs something.. like another thicker line? or maybe a different colour? blue, white, silver? something that stands out a bit maybe.. I don't mind it the way it is just looks like it needs something.

 

Coming along great guns keep it up :P

[greenmac80]

yeah i thought perhaps just another thin line doubling the first?

[Oh-KE]

Yeah that could do the trick :blush: ... you could always do that and then change it if you didn't like it.

 

Edit: 100 posts! w00t :P

Did I not mention adding a silver pinstripe Luc?

 

In the flesh the single black stripe looks pretty good tho.
