The Feral 4K Build

[Feral4K]

]Hi guys, heres our '67 Ke10B Race Car,

Dad and his mates had some pretty wild old 'rollas many years ago, so we decided to create a tribute to everyone who used to play around with them as most of everyones bits, parts ,cars; etc still survived it was just too tempting to put it all in the 10 for a bit of cheap fun on the weekend......

We found it sitting in a paddock after 9 years, heres a few pics of how it was found

 

 

 

 

 

Brought the car home, started to dis-assemble so we could see what she had to hide. Intentions are to turn it into a budget Hillclimb, Circuit and Sprint car.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It seems to have been modified in the '80's judging by the aftermarket seats we found in it...

It didnt come with an engine or gearbox, but appears to have had a 5sp in it as the trans tunnel has had extra holes cut in it.

With the intention of making it a track car, we plan on widening the track of it, and putting a Ke70 front end in it, it will be "K" engine powered to kick off with hence the thead name, but with lots of mods to increase power handling etc.. Upon putting it in the garage, we pulled it apart, and found it had a bit of rust hiding.

 

 

 

A few plates and an attack with the welder seemed to do the trick

 

 

 

 

more to come...

I'm pretty sure I've seen this car before!! Are you from Vic?

[Feral4K]

yep sth gippsland, car was in langwarrin for years n years in a paddock with my old ke20 from back in the day the ke 20 had a pretty serious 4k setup in it so that will be the transplant driveline, used to spin it to 9500rpm with sidedraughts n all the gear on it may even put a bit of gas up its bum for calder and easternats, lardner park etc more to come.....

Can remember being laughed at for havin a 5" monster tacho until i explained it was the only one they made back then that had enough numbers on it hehe

Langwarrin, that's where I saw it. Did you try to sell it around 5-6 years ago? I remember seeing it in the Harvey's wreckers for sale yard.

 

 

[Feral4K]

Yep youve got the right car !That was previous owner that sold it to harveys my mate bought it as he worked at harveys at the time

I Beleive it was last on the road in the late 90s (it looks like it too) we have no intentions of reregistering it as shell be a track

car etc ,I can't beleive how retro popular these rollas are, as i said we used to get laughed at for drivin em (until they heard em)

ps:: This is the members dad posting at the moment to save confusion!!!

For sitting around unloved for so long it doesnt look half bad.

[Feral4K]

Yeah its not bad at all, it was nowhere near trees so leaves didnt build up on it and rubbers were quite good (kept it pretty dry inside)

i was amazed when the carpet came up it was all good, its obviously had a pretty entertaining life but underside looks like a wrc car

or it went for a paddock bash or ten, far too good to wreck out or scrap so I'm savin it ..

[Feral4K]

Dad got motorvated today and finished the rust and engine bay, all in primer ready for whatever color its gonna be.

Any ideas guys think racecar. Radiator support all done, floor sealer stripped

etc etc PS spy shots i caught him fitting up the flare kit !! :P :P

Personally i love it . :)

[Feral4K]

Well as promised the pikkies are flowing in of the original rollas from back then. This particular little number is the original

FERAL4K owned and built by jase the ace on the gold coast in the mid ninetys, This little rippa terrorised the streets of

surfers paradise disposing of many cars with its mental sceaming 4K, the engine and driveline lives on and will power the

tribute car soo many thanks jason for all your help and rolla knowledge over the years.. ;) ;)

[Feral4K]

Lots of hard work done today, cut out the rear quarter panels for tyre clearance and correct flare fitment. Whilst we were at it

we bare metaled the rearquarters and found absolutely no filler dents or rust!, very happy with that threw a quick coat of primer

on em to seal for rust etc..
