kpope18 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Hi all i did have this topic somewhere else because i put it in the wrong spot so i decided to repost it here. This is the ke30 that i bought a few months ago for $20 I have stripped it down completely when i was living on the sunny coast and then moved back to toowoomba and me and a mate pulled the motor and box out, we straightened the radiator saport and painted the enginebay. I have also stripped the pain off the doors guard and boot lid and primed them ready to be painted but they wont get painted until the rest is ready to go. Quote
kpope18 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Here are some more pics Here is when i was getting it ready for the big move back to toowoomba Me and my mate stuffing around with paint seeing what it would look like with GT stripes This is what it looks like after the motor is out and enginebay painted black dosnt look too bad i wreckon Quote

Onikage Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 What condition is the running gear in, if it was running when you got it, then you've scored a massive bargain for $20! What's your plans for the KE aside from respray and fixing the damage? Quote
kpope18 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Posted May 13, 2011 It turned over but thats about it and the motor and box went to the scrap Quote
