Yep sure is mine

LOL thats the reason I built it Chris. I wanted to stir talk, i dont mind people hate the Ka, or the colours. It was an awesome car.



I was kicking around in a 1600 16v (recently owned by rob_lee) and the ex had a Ka, some lad in the KaKlub had paid 14k for an RST conversion. I decided i could do that loads easier, and cheaper and i wanted to do it so everyone could do there own, pretty much like the valver on nova/corsa. Thats how it was planned. Then it went ballistic. There are a few turbos knocking around now. They engine is lighter than the Ka one so there is weight advantage and the Ka's wheelbase offers great handling.

I broke the Ka and built this for a mate as people were still saying it was too expensive to build a KaTurbo. I did this one for less than 3k including buying the Ka, suspension, wheels, engine and all the bits.

Been long gone broken for bits, most of it on the green one!

It was repairable but the chassis had been jigged once before i bought it and i didnt want to have it done again. I also couldnt replace the ronal so i broke it.

Not sure if Blakey still does the mounts but i have had some steel copies made.
