Nice example of a KC, big fan of the colour.


Realise that parts from normal Lasers fit onto your KC. This makes parts 10x cheaper. Rear wiper arm? $4 from any wrecker. Strips are like $6 each, but your side windows/doors are TX3 only. Parcel shelf can also be grabbed from any normal Laser (most KE Lasers have the same interior colour as KC/KE TX3s)

Do yourself a HUGE favor: Get a brand new water pump cos' on our cars these die quick-smart. When I did my engine conversion I used my old pump.. Wrong idea. It was just 5 months off dying. So instead of doing it on the fly I chose the cheap way out.. and it ended up costing me a lot more $$ + time off the road.

If you're *really* stuck for your side strips i've got some I can sell you but postage won't be cheap.

Don't use MSN much buddy.

The thread on the KC/KE gearstick is much thinner then the KF/KH one so it won't fit on unless you pile glue in there or use one of those gearstick inner thread things from Repco etc.

Steering wheel won't fit because the bolt on pattern is different to the KC/KE. This is why the boss kits are different models..

Pics or not those are the facts As I said earlier yours must be one of a kind..
