BReNt Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 Well I had some spare time on my hands today so I thought it was about time I made a rides thread... This is my 1978 ke30. I've had it for a bit over a year now but I only got around to getting it rego'd in September. She's powered by a stock 5k which is running a 4spd behind it. Has a 1.75(?) inch exhaust with two resonators(pretty much a straight pipe :D). Is sitting on 14inch Corona steelies with flipped rear springs and chopped fronts. Has Bilstein rear shockers lol. The front seats are out of a Nissan Pulsar which have been modified to fit with ke30 rails (alot more back support for when you hit a bump with the flipped springs LOL). Has a ke35 steering wheel. Stereo consists of an Alpine head unit with Kicker front splits, Alpine 6x9s in the parcel shelf, and a Kicker amp(so I can actually hear my stereo over all the noise) to power it all. Soon will have speakers in the back doors and maybe a sub or two? I have two new guards for the front as the previous owner has flared the ones on it now. I just need to get around to painting them. There are a few other places around the car where the paint also needs re-doing or touching up. I might just respray the whole car one day(along time from now). Can't really think of much else to write atm so if you have any questions just fire away. I'll probably update this when I can think of more stuff to write. Here's a bunch of random photos from various cruises and such not in any particular order. Sorry if there's too many photos at once but I've had enough of thread making for one day so bare with me... lol Quote
Ben-89 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 MACHINE! What he said Brent! Sounds tough! Quote
JJT036 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 About time you made a thread on it. :P Absolutely Awesome Brent. :thumbsup: Josh :cool: Quote
Bamboo Posted December 27, 2010 Report Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Nice work. I like the fact you've gone oldskool on the steering wheel and gear shifter. Full 70's mods. Try and grab a KE35 speedo for the tripmeter. It's a clean machine. Also noticed a shitty KE50 in the background of some of your photos. Congrats on winning a prize on the rolla of the year voting.

Pm irokin about your prize. Now we are expecting updates regularly with this build :) Haa alright then Matt. A regular update just for you! Sadly your car isn't in this one. Well..... I was on my way to look at a ke26 the other day and just as I was coming out of Gisborne this happened. And this is a shot I took a few days before I lost my mirror lol. Quote
BReNt Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Posted January 6, 2011 Borrowing some red mirrors for the time being which I absolutely hate. Thought it looked funny parked next to the Rolls. Reckon dad would noticed if i swapped mirrors with him? Quote
JJT036 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Geez... I wasn't expecting to see Fender Mirrors as Red as you said they were. |blink| That really does look funny next to the Rolls. :lol: Looking good Brent, appart from the Red Mirrors. :) Josh :cool: Quote
jaygore Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Dude your car is sweet as seeing all those cruise pics, makes me realise I need to get to a cruise! Quote
78_7kRolla Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 You should give those red mirrors a 'rising sun' treatment asap! Quote
bAKER Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 You should give those red mirrors a 'rising sun' treatment asap! that's a great idea! Quote
