K5 from Houston --- AgPete139
« on: April 21, 2013, 12:03:20 AM »
Hey guys,

I've been lurking on here for the past 8 months, and I figured I'd finally introduce myself.

I picked up a used K5 with 14k miles, and chopped up. I paid too much for it, but that's another story. I didn't know the true condition of it until I got it home.

This is it's current dismantled condition as of tonight.






I started riding about 1.5 years ago, and I started out on an '08 EX500.




Now, here are my other rides/projects:

1997 4.0L (225 tq @ 2.2k) Ford Ranger 4WD on 9" & 35x12.50x15"
(most recent upgrade: welded, modded, & beefed Explorer disc axle)






1992 5.0 GT, triple blk 'vert, + motor goodies, cams, etc.





Father's 1970 Porsche 914/6 (father...this is $$$)
NOTE: This is a genuine, numbers-matching /6 with all original pieces. In this complete non-running condition, I've seen some go for $10k. Still contains cancer. 3,200 originally built worldwide over 3 years, less than 1/3 are thought to still exist in some form today.













Hope to see you guys on the road....I'm adding a build thread here pretty soon, too.



Pete
