the_ke55! Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 gday all this is my new ke30 which i bought off dpb (daniel). reason i stopped the ke55 build was i came to a stall and needed brake lines handbrake lines fuel lines hard lines, all the shit which i couldnt be stuffed lookin around for them n would probably cost me abit to buy them new. so yeh ive got the ke30 which is a 4 speed auto with a 3k, the autos slippin gears though which isnt a problem coz I'm going to put a 4k manual in, the bodies in pretty much great condition only rust ive seen so far is around the boot seal which wont be a problem to fix, and a little bit of surface rust on the roof which i sanded back last night and sprayed primer over for the moment, interior is immaculate apart from a couple of rips on the drivers seat. so the plans for it are: take out 3k and box and put in 4k manual body work (fix rust spots, sand the car back with wet n dry, find a colour) and wheels gotta have nice shoes! which I'm thinkin ssr starsharks, wantanabees, got a few ideas of wheels haha. but yeh for now just focusing on body and engine conversion. heres a few pics..! hope you like it if not i don't care coz i love it!!

JJT036 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Jessie, Do the manual conversion now, and register it as a manual, then drop in the 4K after it's rego'ed. :) Edited August 31, 2012 by JJT036 Quote
