so not much of an update but thort i should let you know why progess is so slow ended up spending money on other cars Brought this 1982 Madza 323 Wagon ...is now my Daily 1970 ke11 Corolla, swaped this for my dirtbike and scooter. Had flares and a hole heap of other crap on it.Plan is to restore it to as original as possible and finally i thought i better put a picture of the ute, so this is how it sits as of today

Yea i know Pretty similar to what i want mine to look like when i'm done

does any body know someone in chch that can make me the extra sill bit on the bottom of the tray? p.s sorry for straling picture just best example of it i could find

i actually have a spare tail gate its pretty well f#cked (dents etc) but the base for it is there $30 and you can have it

Comments on colour, come on let me here your criticism! ha

Well its been awhile since I've made an update,Truth is there's not much update on I'm still panel beating its finally down to wet sanding it.There was allot of dents (mainly in the tray) that hand to be Hammered out and the rest has been skimmed over with bog, Had a few Ideas on Colours 1. Oxide Red 2. White 3. Standard Yellow What do you guys think I'm more leaning towards Oxide red (its just an Awesome Colour) I also Picked up another Full set of Hubcaps for the Beast for $10, So was pretty stoked Now all I need it a 4th matching Wheel, tried fitting new hubcaps and discovered left from wheel is different from the rest. so if any body has one for sale hit me up

Well the weekend was quite a productive one considering it was a long weekend and a few beverages were consumed. As the sun came up on Saturday my neighbours were awoken to me Starting to sand back the black paint that was so painted on so thick. Spent all Saturday with an electric sander in hand attacking the drivers door and that’s all I got done 3 packets of sandpaper later! I have never come across paint that was as thick and clogged up sand paper like this stuff. So after much frustration, I brought some paint stripper and spend most of Sunday getting high in my garage off the fumes, but man did it chew through the paint. So now all that’s left to do this week is sand that last little bits and start to apply some Bog.

One week of owning it and have had a few little issues 1. head lights decided not to work on way home from work (was dark and I got more than a few fingers and people yelling at me to turn my lights on )got an auto sparkie to look at it cost me $64 to rewire whole thing which I didn’t think was to bad. 2. Day after getting head lights fixed water pump decided to blow its seals, brought a brand new one $75 and got a new clutch kit and spark plugs while I was in the fixing mood So that’s pretty much how my first week played out, could have been worse I suppose

Does any body know the Color code for the the red these Utes came out in ?

yea i have already looked into this there is a bagged b1600 that has done it and it makesthe lines of the Ute look some much better. although it doesn't look like it in the pics it does have a few dents.me being the picky person i am i want to have it as straight as i can. hey no, im from Christchurch,was on trade me

my imediate plan is to tidy it up (panel wise) so will begin sanding it and panel beating it this weekend. its at the auto sparkies at the moment getting the headlights looked at. it keeps blowing fuses what the finish product will look like at this stage im looking at A nice dark red paint slamed on white walls

just out of curiosity does anybody know where i can find out how many of this model were imported into New Zealand and/or how many are registered in New Zealand at present.? anybody know of any around ?

little bit of an update Managed to fire her up .... chucked a bit of gas down carburetor , some new gas in tank and 5 minutes later away see went not bad for having being sitting in a shed for long time.motor does smoke a bit but seems to go well but will check it out properly when i pull motor and box out. also gave it a good clean out not as much rust as i expected so that's a bonus this week should see the starting on some of the panel work depending on how much time i have after work

well i after nearly half a year of talking i finally picked this sweet wee Te38 E/5 wagon up Its a Left hand drive import that came from U.K but being left hand drive i have a hunch it started life some where else it has been registered in New Zealand before so that makes things a lot easier for me its running full T series running gear standard 2T-C T-50 and T series rear end along with a lot of other little gauges and things like that not seen on a Ke36 my plan is to fully restore it back to original (roof racks and all:)) here's a few pics viewtopic.php?f=18&t=23867 Project Discussion heres a few pics Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us
