towe001 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 3. My auto crossmember bolted straight up to the KE70 gearbox mount with just needing to redrill the holes a bit further apart. Everything lined up on the body in the factory holes. Whereas i had to cut mine up and modify it with a ke70 x-member Quote

LukeAE71 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 Finished it off tonight, put my recored radiator in, put in the tailshaft and took it for a spin around the block. It has no exhaust so it was freaking loud!!! I gave it a bit of gas and it goes alright. The neighbours probably hate me now. It's off to Exhaust Technology tomorrow to have extractors and a 2 inch exhaust fitted. Then drive time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
LukeAE71 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 An interesting drive this morning with no exhaust!!! F@@cking Loud!!! Get it back this afternoon, check over to make sure I've done everything right then daily time Quote
