dangdang Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Bought this on Sunday a 1969 ke10, 3k four speed and NO RUST has a few dents, but it is complete even owners manual and original keys. Has a saas wheel but the original is in the boot. New exhaust, new shocks all round, red interior has a tear in the drivers seat but the passenger and rear seat is spot on. Has 30+ year old 155 remington steels on it lol Engine purrs with a pull of the choke and a flick of the key B) Plans are new tyres with widened steelies or ssr's and paint and panel back too a light cream colour. I put rego on it Monday and have been driving it to work the last few days Edited May 25, 2011 by dangdang Quote
JJT036 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Nice score Dan. Saw this for sale on here a while ago. :y: All the best with this little rocket. :) Josh :cool: Quote
dangdang Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Cheers Josh Bought it Sunday, registered it Monday, driving it to work.....yep it's my new daily....for this week anyway :P The crack in the diff turned out to be a section about the size of a twenty cent peice on the rear of housing just opposite the fill plug, which had been welded over and ground back, there was a pin hole left, a dab of gasket silicone fixes that for now. I took the opportunity to go over the car whilst I had it at work, all good news :cool: Has no rust at all, new shocks, new exhaust, no oil leaks. The brakes were spongey and the hand brake didn't work, so to the rear first....already has all new linings and wheel cylinders, bonus To the front, nothing new but all in working condition, adjusted them up, threw the apprentice in the car for bleeding duties....air...farkin lots of air!!! So a quick bleed, adjusted the hand brake and the thing now stops on a dime. A quick wheel alignment while we were there and off home, me and work mate, 200+kg combined....cruises like a dream Loves it Edited May 25, 2011 by dangdang Quote
Jono.C Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Ahh, this is the ke10 i spotted at goodyear on my way to tafe yesterday :P I had to go back that way on my way home just to have another look haha :wink: Good luck with it Jono Quote
Guest pmp16 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Nice car looks good .. big call saying absolute no rust there always a surprise somewhere in these or any old car Quote
dangdang Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 This is true, could be some hiding behind the front guards, the only place I can't get at to see. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Awesome, I looked at the ad for this and wished it was in brisvegas. Lucky kent. I hope my new find turns out as good. :y: So just a tidy up and cruise it yeah? Quote
dangdang Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Posted May 26, 2011 Yeah, the grille and front bar need a little straightening, and the front guards are a little bowed from knocks on the front scuttle. I don't think grandma/grandpa's eyes were so good towards the end :P I want to get it into my fathers Bodyworks and go a full respray, it deserves it. Have the tear in the drivers seat repaired A set of fender mirrors And think a set of these would set it off... 4 on 110 ssr's 13x6 Quote
dangdang Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Posted July 24, 2011 Scored a ke18 wagon, this one has the 1200cc 'big block'. Just swapped the bumper, grille and some interior bits that were better onto the sedan and then it will be sold, any takers? Quote
