Popular Post enzee Posted August 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2021 I've had this 2 door 82' KP since 2009 (I think..?) I'll have to check the ownership papers. It has sat in my lock up since the day I brought it. It came to me tidy as and all original with a 2K and K40. Everything complete, front & rear parcel shelves, Toyota tool kit and jack, all the old ownership and dealer paperwork etc. I'm the 3rd owner and its lived in Upper Hutt its whole life. The first owner was an older local lady, who then sold it to a local garage around the corner from my lock up. They used it as the workshop run about to pick up parts and sausage rolls etc. I picked it up from the garage after a customer unfortunately reversed into the drivers door and drivers side rear quarter. The damage wasn't that bad but the garage couldn't be arsed to fix it. Instead of a quick tidy up with a new drivers door and sell on, I couldn't help myself and went about starting a full panel and paint in original colour, sorting a 5K and K50, lower springs and picking up some wheels for it etc. I don't have any picture of when I first got it because I'm useless, but it is factory a dark green metallic colour called peacock. This is how it sits at the moment, body work 90% complete and in epoxy primer. It doesn't looks all that flash at the moment, but it really is a very tidy car and will finish up really well. The only rust was the typical flat hatch rust under the rear window rubber, and some small patches under the hatch rubber. And a sample pic of the wheels I have for it. Really all that is left is to finish the 10% of the body work, paint, reassemble, driveshaft loop, refurbish wheels, then get a WOF, Cert and Rego... so a fair amount. Once finished final specs will be something along the lines of : - Standard interior - Standard reconditioned 5K with Kennelly cam grind - 1.75" exhaust with factory twin front pipe. - K50 with KP shifter position - Lovell lowering springs with KYB gas struts to suit, MRP RCAs - Endless front brake pads (hopefully these are suitable for certification) - Refurbished Sharak X-1 13x5.5 +20 with Advan A539s As I mentioned in my other KP build thread, I've just got back from 4 years in the UK and this is the stage I got it to just before I left. I'm looking forward to getting this car finished and back on the road! This KP will be for sale once complete.
