[flyinwall]

Well its time for me to start a build thread as i just aquired my KE20 this morning

 

 

 

back seat is in fairly good condition just one section where the stitching is coming undone

 

 

and the dash pad is in need of replacing but the dash gauges look to be in good nick

Hey mate, was this one on Ebay?

What are your plans for it?

[flyinwall]

yep on ebay and advertised on here..

Plans are a 4k and 5 speed slightly lowered and a nice paint job get it on the road and drive the wheels off it.

Then when i get it on the road i am going to be working on EFI and electronic ignition for it using a spare motor in the shed as a test motor to get it all sorted out and running so i can just swap it over into the car when its all running and sorted

i already have the paint scheme organized (not telling anyone what it is just yet though)

 

thinking of upgrading the wheel stud and brakes as well and running either 13" or 14" wheels with 205's on the rear and 185 on the front
