PROJECT 2: the before part

Well, after weeks and months of waiting, the KE-35 is about to get an overhaul! parts have been found, workshop ready to take the car in tomorrow as well! All going as planned so far.

Passenger side floor
Before I send in the car for its tuning up, here's the before look. Estimated time of completion, never. This is gonna be an ongoing project where when there's budget then there will tweaks here and there. However, the main tuning done on the car would be at this stage, which is the engine change. Adding to that, when the engine is changed, so does the brake system, rear axle, suspension and shocks.

Once the engine has been changed, its time to send it for another PUSPAKOM inspection, the part I hate the most when modifying cars. After the car has passed the inspection, there will be definitely more upgrades to come! Patience is the key :)
Driver side floor plus pedals.
A dashboard from a Mazda or Mitsubishi, with the original steering wheel.



A protons' roof.

The rear passenger's floor.

Passenger's bright orange seats, gonna stick with them though.

Left passenger side door.



Audio system inside the back of the car.



An old 4K toyota engine that the previous owner added on.

  1. hi bro...How much rm you purchased the mighty KE35?
    I'm also purchased the same type of car..(I love it sooo much). she costs me rm5500... the condition is duh..!! worst than yours especially the bodypart...
    The only thing makes me happy is... the engine was already replaced with 4AGE and has been approved by the JPJ...

    I found that it is very hard to find the parts of her here in Sabah... need to find it online (some of the parts I purchased from Peninsular Malaysia)
    Hopefully you can recommend me any good dealer that can ship parts to Sabah..
    thanks

  2. hey there, nice to meet you! i purchased my KE35 for RM5600. 4K engine, 15inch taiwanese rims, a stereo player. There is a place in KL at Jalan Ipoh that sells new old stock spare parts. I haven't went there to find KE35 parts yet, soon i will. you can try going onto ebay to check, the US or Australian ebay.

    To ship the parts to sabah, you can get probably companies like DHL, Fedex, UPS, etc.

    Hope you fix up the body work first before you do anything else. Do the welding works before the paint job. When doing the paint job, strip out everything. Don't just paint around. Don't forget the anti rust ;)

    Hope this helps. If i go to the Jalan Ipoh shop and I find KE35 parts i will post it up here.
