sssx

Yea I have passed a fair few wofs without one but last wof they failed me for it and said its a new law.

Just wanting to know a definitive answer weather its needed or not before I go for the wof. Car has a green sticker aswell which dosent help my chances

Are rear bumpers required for a wof? Car in question is a ke70 wagon

will have to hit them up, cheers

and then

thanks to

which caused me to get stuck on the road, note faded plate

new plate as I got fined for having faded numbers. also rope failing to stop the exhaust dragging on the ground after the mount broke off the muffler. mass sparking action

rough

the garage opposite the pub could be worth a shot.

i believe he used to be at Turbo Tech in CHCH??

this guy left a couple of years ago, someone else runs it now

Anyone in chch have a valve spring compressor I can borrow for a couple of days?

Beverages/cash will be supplied.

Or is there anywhere I can hire one from?

cheers

flick me a txt 027 7121740 cheers

Also the problem I have, is that there's no REAL proof needed to be found guilty.

Cop/respected citizen of the old persons club: "You did a skid/accelerated too quickly/raced some guy"

19 year old with a skyline: "No I did not"

Judge: "guilty"

Had a mate with a u12 bluebird with a slipping clutch to the point of hardly being able to drive. He took off from an intersection in the wet with clutch slipping and an off duty cop on a bike saw it and reported it. Got charged, cops took a photo of a mark at the same intersection that was already there where someone had done a skid and burnt right into the road. He tried to fight it for a year but had no chance, his word against the cops.

Poor cunt, I was fuming about it and it wasnt even happening to me haha

Just out of interest, I'v got some 14" starsharks I'm looking at getting new lips made up for. Who are you getting to do it and how much are you paying? Does price change according to width? Cheers

^this

also are you in chch? Im sure I saw this last week up marshlands rd. Looked tidy if it was you

white/cream with black vinyl roof would look good

probably a repost but

Im gunna post anyway cos it rules so hard

Shit thats a fast turn around from what it started as. Respect

Ae bumper looks sweet on the back, thought about getting one for the front aswell?

rb drifter, cheers man

Brock, yea I was thinking about doing that. How did you cut yours? Grinder with cutoff wheel?

I saw this the other night. I was trying to get a glimpse at the wheels but never got close enough. It definitely made me double look. It's not often you see a cool looking ke70. Good luck with the build.

Cheers man yea I cant believe the amount of attention it gets.

Im sure its caused a few neck injuries from double takes haha

Wheels are equips 14x7.5 -8 and 14x8 -14

The 8s fit perfect exactly flush with the guard and no rub at all. Just lots of smashing noises from the diff hitting the chassis rails cos I took the bumpstops out algud

Awesome wagksins man. Ahh I see with the painting dash, but do you find that its scrapeing off easily?

Cheers man. Its scraped off a bit when i pushed the head unit through the hole but apart from that its not bad. Dosent get touched much though.

I suspect it would scrape off pretty badly if it was in a place that gets touched more. Some better paint would probably help, I just used what I had lying round.

The white paint that it had been painted with previously was pretty hearty didnt chip when I was sanding it with the scotch pad.

It was a super thick coat of paint so maybe that helps. Meh. Ill stop rambling now

Hey man loving the car.

nice job with the intercooler, sweet that there was already a good sized hole in the bumper for it

Starlet wagon spotted, first I've seen irl

and oldschool volvo for sale on moorhouse. Tempted.. its pretty tidy

No real reason for updating just a couple of pics

seeing in in the snow made me realise how filthy my matt white paint is

Sweet! love the 2 door wagons

get a slant front

Picked up these yesterday, stoked! They are for a starlet but Ill rebuild them on my struts and sell off what parts I dont need.

Camber tops may already be spoken for but anyone interested in shortened struts for a starlet? Ill get some measurements of how much they are shortened later today.

discussion: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33788

To paint the dash parts I just scuffed the paint already on them with one of those green scotch pads.

Washed the parts in the sink like washing dishes, let them dry propery

Couple of coats of white undercoat, couple of coats of satin black.

Just the cheap 7 dollar cans from supercheap, it turned out alright though

Discussion thread has been requested so here it is!

Pics with the 2inch blocks in

Keen to go down another inch at the rear, 2 inches at the front but probably shouldnt as chch roads are so shit at the minute

Also got pulled up yesterday with it in this state. I was expecting to get reamed with fines for stretch and lowness but got sent on my way with nothing. win! cop said he thought I had a flat tyre when he saw it drive through the intersection in front of him

sills are at 100mm but theres structural business underneath that hang down a bit more

black eye

cheers

Adrian

Cheers Truenotch

Did some painting

urgh

much better

painted these bits as they were white also

and my pink whith and shiny wheel I got for 30 bux. score!

So decided to start a build thread for this to document my progress or lack of

Its a 87 ke70 2door. slant front which is what I prefer. yes sick mind I know!

Got it road legal a couple of weeks ago after nearly 2 years of sitting in the back yard neglected.

Wof list filled the page and comments section aswell

Anyway pics cos thats whats up

failed wof for stretch tyres obv. wagon space filled with steelies to make it lower for the pic/failed only an inch lower

wheels are probably worth more than the car haha. looking at this pic it needs alot lower in the front

bit of rust repair for wof

body is beat up to fcuk but Im not worried about that.

plans that may happen

install 2t and t50 thats sitting in my garage

lower front more with 2t/cut springs if that dosent work to my satisfaction

have fitted 2inch blocks will upload pics when I find my camera cable

sorry if this is the wrong section I dont really consider a slant front k70 oldschool

and this is why I had to get it legal. drove it round for a couple of months like this
