Ka Laser project.

Haha that's great man, something different

Someone gave me (for free) a red KA Laser Ghia a few years ago. I have only ever used it as a paddock bomb because the interior was stuffed and the tyres had the steel belts sticking out of them, but the engine ran perfect. I had to change the fuel pump twice and the exhaust fell off once lol. But now it doesn't go anymore, I left it sitting for a really long lime and when I went to drive it again, the diff blew up and lost all the transmission oil haha.

The interior looks clean in yours, are you going to respray the outside or just leave it?

The interior came out of the meteor, so its got this almost mint dash and carpet combined with cruddy everything else lol, It may get a paint job one day, but it will be for practice so i can try and improve my painting skills as they are currently very average

Well nothing has changed with this beast, me and my mates were bored over the long weekend so we decided some grass toboggan was in order!!
SO here it is in action:

On another note, i have purchased some new rings as its becoming a little smokey, hopefully its a std bore as thats what i bought cheap on ebay!

im having trouble visualising the efi 5.0 in there, but im sure with a big enough hammer you can get that firwall into the right shape.

That was a very entertaining read. Well done for all the work you have done. Looks pretty darn good for a paddock bomb.

Ps: I think you bought that headunit off me, used to be in my old work van.

LOL, get the gas axe onto it! then we can drop a blown 5 litre in up front and slap a 9 inch under the back. If you supply ill deliver

Thanks mate!
I know its not worth the time and effort i put in but i enjoy it so why not, surprisingly fun to drive too!
Pretty interesting about the headunit, it would have to be the best feature of the whole car i reckon

That head unit was the best thing that was in my old shitty berlingo van. Was very happy to see the end of that thing. Best of luck with the new engine for the laser, hoping to see some more updates soon!

had a good laugh while readin this mate, good work using it as a training vehicle to hone ur skills...inspiring me to do something similar cos I have bugger all mechanical skills, seems like it'd be lots of fun to just dice up a car and put it all back together again bigger n better* (not beater)...on the cheap
