RATDEATH Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Hey guys, My name's Russell and heres my granny spec '79 ke35 4 door. I picked it up for $50 from some bloke that had no idea what he was doing... It already had new plugs, leads, carbie and points fitted... already worth the $50 :lock_folder: The interior is in overrated condition, only one crack on the dash. It has a 4K bolted to a 3spd auto which I plan to replace with a 5 speed very soon. Bodywise it has a little rust in the drivers side guard and quarter panel. I plan to spray it white and get rid of the rust. Those 17's aren't mine :lock: but hopefully soon I'm getting some 15's. Will get some more pics and post up soon, Cheers, Russell. Quote
ancullen Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Pity the 17's aren't yours, cause they look pretty sweet. I wouldn't have thought that 17's would have fitted, but now I know otherwise. And I'm pretty sure that the KE35 was only available as a two-door fastback. As your car is a '79 model, it's probably a KE55. Edited August 1, 2006 by ancullen Quote
JiP Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) Welcopme to rollaclub Member 1972 I second that motion. KE55. 4k is a dead giveaway. That and the vents in the pic. So where are you located?? Have you already got a five speed?? They are kinda rare. Edited August 1, 2006 by JiP_01 Quote
Xany Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Yup KE55 it is.... Vents, tail lights....not a coupe (ke35 is) Quote
JiP Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Dam those wheels look sick, I WANT!!! :lock_folder: Quote

Chears from Ratdeath Quote
Guest Brad Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah man, that isn't a KE35, they are 2 doors like the one in my avatar. Quote

Rolla__Boy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 Yup KE55 it is.... Vents, tail lights....not a coupe (ke35 is) The tail lights are the same as a KE30...the bumper bars are KE55 ones, and just because it has a 4K, doesn't make it a KE55, my KE30 has a 4K in it, people can swap engines :laff: Quote
Dan Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 It has a 4K bolted to a 3spd auto Its a KE55 because its got the 4k/trimatic combo Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 I had a 4K trimatic sitting on my garage floor, which could easily have been put in my KE30, would that make it a KE55 Dan? Quote
Dan Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 If you restamped the VIN off a KE55 it most definately would :laff: No, but 1979, Trimatic, 4k, KE55 bumpers... its a KE55. Quote
