Just a helpful hint on those Mazda steelies mate, You might want to get a Die Grinder because the centre hole needs to be trimmed slightly (they will go on snugly without it BUT will not come back off easily).....trust me

It's only about a mm that needs to go but it WILL make a difference when removing them.

I bought a KE20 many years ago with exactly same wheels on it but baldy tyres.......let's just say the end results was new wheels aswell.......

 

 

 

[nerfbat]

cool mate. will check that out..!

[towe001]

Update on the sexy new shoes :lol:

[nerfbat]

 

tyres fitted to the '82 626 RWD steelies

 

the difference in rolling diameter, new rim is closest to the camera

 

 

going from Auto to manual, i had to knock out the blank in the firewall to accommodate the clutch cable

 

 

lucky i had the white donor car for the proper clutch cable housing

 

 

 

getting it in place

 

mounted, sealed and undercoated

 

lightened flywheel

 

 

clutch assembly fitted

 

got the engine/box in, but the gearbox crossmember doesnt line up.

also the ke 70 shifter is further down the tunnel than i at first hoped.

will need to take some meat out of the tunnel.

ran out of light and gave up for the night

will take more pics tomorrow
