Tally's Jdm Ke25 Build Up Round 2

[Taz_Rx]

Not all of the 3x "outlets" are for heater hoses. There needs to be a bypass between the the thermostat housing and the water pump.

So what I'm guessing you need is a thermostat housing with one outlet - to go to water pump bypass (one of the pump ones) and then the other pump outlet is the actual heater line.

I'll have a look in the shed for you tonight and see if I can find a single outlet thermo housing for you if you want?

appreciate that taz, but save you the hassle, shouldnt be hard to find a good one here.

You need to paint the front panel around the headlights black, as it makes the grille stand out more when put together. :D

[Tally]

Yea I know what ya mean but also remember black radiator goes in the middle.

[Raven]

Nah, you need to paint it dude.

 

You'll kick yourself if you put it all back together and then see the end result. It doesnt look good!

[nickyboy]

been there done that, paint it black man!

[greenmac80]

they don't have it black from factory and it looked fine.

[Tally]

I totally agree with you guys will look much better but I was lazy today and just continued to put it back together lol...

 

they did come factory with some black sprayed on the radiator support to put more emphasis on the front end area. Which makes it look nice.

 

Got bonnet, front apron and guards on today :D

 

sorry about the shitty iPhone pic, am in a rush to go to work lol.

I agree with the above comments, it makes the front look a lot nicer. It's the same as areas like wheel arches, best to paint black the bits you don't want to stand out or be highlighted.

Ok so update... been a bit busy with TAFE, but holidays soon so should see some major progress..

 

Removed the roof lining this afternoon, going to get a new one made up.

 

Decided that I'm going black interior and 20V 4age...

 

Still not rubbed/buffed yet, havnt had time, need to work out what colour silver I'm going to spray the trims. I want a gunmetal grey colour...

 

Once roof lining is done, rub back, buff, windows in and exterior put together....

 

 

[JJT036]

That's a Ke25 you have there mate.

 

Can't wait to see the end result, especially with the 20v 4age in stuffed between the Strut Towers.
