Hey Everyone, Some of you guys & girls met my partner, Jane at Nats 2014. I thought It was about time that she got her own oldschool car. So this weekend we purchased this little NZ new 2 door KP60.

 

 

 

It has been a local car since near new and has been in the same family for 30 years. It wasn't for sale but I kept asking the owner casually if he wanted to sell it (over a 4 year period.) Last week he finally caved and agreed to sell it to me under the condition that I look after it and don't sell it on. I parted with $1500 of my hard earned dollars & it was mine/Jane's. He was very sad to see it go.

Its very clean & tidy, especially on the inside. But sadly the paint has suffered from the harsh Motueka sun and is cracked and buggered over the whole car. There is also a rather iffy 80s repair job on the left rear quarter panel.

It has the screaming 2K power plant & 4 Speed K40 box. All original & has been maintained beautifully.

 

I decided to chuck my 14x6.5 Techno Phantoms on as the 12" factory wheels just didn't cut the mustard. It doesn't look half bad. They might be a touch too big though. 

 

 

More pics to come.

So Today We had these turn up:

 

Pretty cool old Sanyo speakers. Scored them on trademe for $22. I'm planning to fit modern speakers inside for a nicer sound.

 

Also I started picking at the dodgy looking repair on the passenger side. I wish I hadn't as it was like opening pandoras box!

 

So what do I do? I keep picking. And bust out the grinder with flapper disk.

 

 

 

 

Ooops. Mrs Slacker_Sam will not be happy! It looks like they have just bogged over all the dents. Must've been done a long time ago.

 

But fark this has become more work than I thought.
