Hayden's Wagontastic KE70 Attempt #3

[WhangareiKE70]

Discuss: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=33784

So after I sold this Corolla,

And scrapped this one,

I obtained another one.

I bought of TM from the North Shore, so I put a trailer on my ute like so,

and proceeded to make a very sloooow trip to the North Shore to pick it up.

I took a couple of pics of it with my phone on the way back when we stopped for a break.

I bought a few other bits for it as well...

BUT then I lost my job at the end of Jan and haven't been able to get full time employment since. So things have slowed to say the least.

However, details at the moment are:

-2 door wagon.

-Reg on hold.

-Acid dipped, primed, most of a roll cage welded in (side intrusion bars and bars through to front turrets still to be added), and seam welded throughout.

-Have an S13 rear subframe that I am looking at mounting.

Future plans (always subject to change):

-Either 1UZ or 1JZ, with f/wall work.

-W5* box.

-Shortened S13 rear subrame for IRS and easy access to cheap adjustable suspension parts.

-Install front adjusties with adjustable lower arms (already have these).

-ROTA Shakotan wheels in either 15x8(F) and 15x9® or 15x9 all round.

-Slam.

-Drop tank.

-Bla bla all the rest of that race car stuff.

Will be certed, WOFed and registered at the end so all needs to be legit.

If I don't get a job by July I will be taking a welding and Fab course through NorthTec so that will hopefully speed things up.

Let me know your thoughts/tell me I'm over ambitious/I am but I don't care.

Chur.
