Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I thought i would start a new thread because i got another ke36 and try make this thread better.. so the car is a Ke36 1976 came with a smokey 3k then swapped it out for a shitty 4k. first day picking her up Edited October 23, 2015 by Rickeh Quote
Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 forgot to mention when i got the yellow car it came with a grey 2 door ke36 sadly it had to much rust and mum didnt want the house filled with corolla's. so we ended up stripping as much as could in 3 hours. We managed to get the motor (3k) gearbox,windscreen,wheels and some interior parts. Quote
Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 5ish months later she finally start, main hiccup was the previous owner put the wrong bolts in for the exhaust manifold so I had to rethread them. Then the brakes seized so in stead of getting them rebuilt I got my hands on a set of Ke70 struts. I was going use the struts but instead I just used the brakes from them. Quote
Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 Its FINALLY off the jacks and one the ground drove it out on to the grass then washed it :rock: Quote
Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 Went to go park it then it started leaking coolant from the water pump..turned out the gasket was rooted so i cut a new one up and put it back together. No leaks! Quote
Rickeh Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Posted October 23, 2015 Still have to paint the bonnet. (The bar on the white car isnt bolted in) Quote
danielmiller30 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 Awesome to read so far mate, tell your mum she needs to get her priorities straight :D sounds like you've done a bit as well i know i wouldnt be able to get as much done in 3 hours as you did Quote
caibs Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Cool wagon. Well done. I hope you kept the door glass from the 2 door, its pretty hard to find as it only fits 2 door sedans and panos. Quote
Rickeh Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Posted November 5, 2015 UPDATE - She's now on the road. First drive was shit the carby was clogged,timing was off and it had a exhaust leak. So we drove her to the mechanics and got it all fixed, instead of rebuilding the standard carby i had a 32/36 weber laying around so i got him to rebuild that one. Will get a photo later of the weber Quote
Rickeh Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Posted November 5, 2015 Monday night dad took my car to tennis and somehow the window got smashed :angrybird: Quote
Rickeh Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Posted November 5, 2015 I had some spare doors laying around so changing the glass was easy. Quote
Rickeh Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Posted November 5, 2015 Drives pretty good now, love the induction sound from the weber and i picked up a 5k the other day :y: Quote
