My 83 Ke70 Build

[shLONG13]

Interior has come up so well after scrubing and katcher cleaning for what felt like a life time. Most of the plastics where pretty dirty and had a fair bit of grime on them so i got to work and scrubbed the plastics with degreaser and then armoralled them and they come up like new. The seats i gave a good hard scrub with detergant and then katcher cleaned them to get the stains out and wow :D

I love the progress on this ke! Nice to see a ke70 getting the attention it deserves! The effort and attention to detail on the engine and body will pay dividends when its all done. But that interior you've cleaned.... its amazing!!!! :) :y: :y: :y: :y: I'm a nut when it comes to seeing immaculate interiors, keep up the good work!

Cheers buddy, appreciate it, i couldnt agree more. i love every little thing as clean and as good as i can get and if its not good when ive done something i go back and do it again. it drives me crazy sometimes but in the end all the hard work of doing this realy pays off. I'm a perfectionest to detail and this car will be done properly you can count on that, right down to the last bolt because I'm planing to showing it a few times :yes:

Woah dude, it must have been pretty clean when you bought it? Interior looks imaculate. Quick question though, where did you pick up your chrome bumpers from? Get lucky on ebay or is their some secret rolla parts supplier on the web i haven't heard about?

Actually it was pretty dirty, ecpacialy the interior. it had been sitting in a yard for a few years. i just spent hours and hours with a scrubbing brush and paint and i come up like this, i couildnt beleive it, the seats where like black with stains all over them and now there like new. Ile put some before and after photos of the interior up later on. Yeah i found him by chance on the web when i was looking for quad lights, he lives in the philippines and he had these reconditioned corolla parts, and some where new. the quadlights are used JDM parts that goes trough a refurb to restore it to its original state and the bumpers and indicators are OEM Toyota parts made in Japan. :wink:

Some of the body work done, all doors rubbed and primed and door frames ready for primer

[shLONG13]

Just put a few more touches on the 4k that i rebuilt. Everything has been cleaned up inside and out, its had new rings, seals, bearings, timing kit, gaskets, oil filter, spark plugs and welsh plugs.

 

As for cleaning it up and painting it, i got a small wire brush on a drill and went around and got any surface rust and corosion marks off the block, masked it up and hit it with a coat of gloss black VHT high heat engine enamel.

The water pump, pulleys, sump and things like that where wire brushed to get any difficult marks off but other than that i used a bit of petrol and this high quality engine degreaser (that stings like a bitch if you get it on your hands) to clean them up, then wacked some primer on them, rubbed them with fine sand paper and sprayed them with that VHT paint and it came out awesome.

All the bolts and bits and peices where soaked and cleaned in that kick ass degreaser to get them all nice and shiny again.

The timing chain cover i painted with some alluminium paint and the rest of the alluminium stuff was cleaned and wire brushed lightly like the head and distributor but i polished the rocker cover with metal polish and a rag whitch took for ever :bash: but came out sweet :y:

Looks sooo good!

Are you leaving your fan blades on it? Would rather run it through your electrics.

Just my 2cents :laff: Still clean engine mate!
