madKE35coupe Posted April 28, 2013 Report Posted April 28, 2013 :( was looking forward to seeing a snorkel on a ke10......far from disappointed though this thing looks amazing :) Quote
kickn5k Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Saw this thing in the flesh at Christmas time. Pics do NOT do it justice. So many little details so nicely done. Did you pick all the little subtle body mods? Once you started pointing them out to me Justin I was utterly gob smacked!! The motor has turned out perfect! Although it doesn't look much different to when I spotted it at your mates work. Now that was a while ago! Edited April 29, 2013 by kickn5k Quote
KEI069 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks guys, I would have loved to run the Hilborn style scoop but for roadworthy reasons it just wasn't gonna work, I'm still making an adapter for it though just for shits and giggles. So I have already broken a l/h engine mount in under 1500 kms, ( it was new ) but I guess that's all a part of trying something A bit different. Quote
KEI069 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 A side on shot just so people can try pick the subtle body mods haha! Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Smaller indicator, no lock, no gutters? Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Being a 69 I would guess this had vents on the rear pillars which are also gone. No badges and no chrome strips. Quote
kickn5k Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Being a 69 I would guess this had vents on the rear pillars which are also gone. No badges and no chrome strips. There is three I know of that you haven't guessed. One is the frenched tail lights and the other two are in the photo. Quote
mdw003 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Is the rounded bottom edge of the door modified? Quote
KEI069 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 Is the rounded bottom edge of the door modified? Yes it is, the seam in the sill right below the corner has been welded as well. The last mod is the fuel door, removed lock and flattened it out before putting a Finger lift ( bump) on the bottom edge. Quote
mdw003 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 I had to look at it next to other ke1x rollas, seriously had me fooled. I wish I was that good at metal/body working, looks awesome mate. Quote
KEI069 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 Well, it turns out that KE10 lower control arms aren't very strong, maybe because the leaf spring is removed, but I would advise against hitting gutters So just a warning kiddies, don't be silly on the wet roads. Catch yas later Quote
