Wattos Ke30 (rebuild After Crash)

[watto]

Hey

I bought the car in great condition about 6 months ago of an old bloke in the blue mountains. since then i have not done anything major to the car yet (apart from getting hit by another car :hmm: ) iv'e just been doing little things to make it look nicer (e.g. lowering the car, respraying the grill, air filter, stereo, sprayed the rims black...)

 

After the crash i bought another ke30 from a wreckers in blacktown, i got the whole car (without engine and box) for $350 so was pretty happy with that. so thats what i have been using for parts (e.g. bonnet, radiator support, grill, front spoiler...) but i don't have a front bummper yet, if anyone is selling one please message me :D

 

All the parts bonnet, radiator support and front spoiler have been sandblasted and the bonnet was sprayed same coulor as the car, i got 4L of paint made to match the car. all this work was done at Pass Powder coating at marayong in blacktown.

The car untouched after crash.

 

Once i got the "ok" from insurance that the car was a repaiable write off and that i could keep the car and get a pay out, i straight away got right into rebuilding the ke!!

 

After i got the second ke i took of the parts that i need for the rebuild and got them sandblasted ready to be welded on.

 

Support welded on, about to start grinding back the welds.
