Hi all,
Discussion thread: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32800
Thought I had better get around to doing one of these, not only to give you all a reason to laugh at my "sweet skills" but also to seek advice!
So as the title says, below is my 1982 KE70 Wagon. Is a 2 door model, I haven't seen many of these in the flesh around the place which is what appealed to me.
I do plan for this to be somewhat a long term project, I don't expect everything to be done overnight as I hope to do most things myself and with the help of family/friends.
Right, so plans are as follows:
Rid of rust
Front end conversion (Get rid of ugly shovel front)
Panel & paint
Reupholster interior (Swap brown, for black bits)
Suspension & Breaks
In regardsto the engine, it has a 4k in it with an exhaust system, twin carbs, a few other little things and also a 5 speed g/box. This will do for now, until everything else is done. I think I wil go for worked 5k but thing could change.
Enough talking, time for photos!
I didn't get many photos of it before I started ripping it to bits but heres one from the rear end
Some cancer photos
All plated up, rookie welding but does the job!
All poo'd up (still obviously not finnished but have slapped some rust reventative over the top to stop moisture being absorbed)
Well thats all the major rust, there is a couple of other little spots here and there.
This is the standard OG shovel front, it's in mint condish which is good for resale but ugly as!
Front end off!!
The parts place failed to give me the correct light brackets, so am a couple of parts away from it all fitting but that will come soon.
^ - Oh this? Yeah, I am supprised I got her home!
