bought the wagon a few weeks back, its a dead stocker, 2nd owner, had a blowen head gaskett but apart from that its pretty mint, took it home on the sunday and drove it otu of the shed that sunday night with a new engine, jsut another 4k-c

got the engine form aaron for a six pack of coronas, goes pretty well for a stocker, i ditched all the anti pollution gear aswell, got sick of the arse end being up in the air so i chucked some reset leaves in the back i got from ollie on the forums ages ago, havnt touched the front yet, chucked a CD player in and i temarerily borrowed the wheels from the sprinter untill i can get soem tyres for the superlites

the interior is stock as with blue vinyl seats and a dash top that looks like its never seen the sun, ive chucked a sprinter seat in the drivers side and i want a apssengers one aswell but that are a bit hard to come by, especially in blue

getting sick of it being to quiet to hear the engien so im gunna chuck a new muffler on it and drop the front end down a bit, then maybee if i can find some nice chrome bumpers they will go on aswell

just after i put the new engine in

Wow, very clean/mint/nice :P

Looks a million bucks with the other rims. Should be nice with some more chrome on the body.

Any other plans engine wise? 4AGE? Something special?

Hi James

Interested in selling the wagon? I've been hanging out for a good blue KE70 wagon for ages now, just haven't been able to find one (you must be able to smell them from miles away)

Patto
2nd January 2008, 11:00 PM
do it not that expensive ...
or look outside the 4a box. maybe a r series engine (21r or 22rc out of a hilux)

kewagon
2nd January 2008, 11:04 PM
nah, i dont want a big r series boat anchor, and the GE conversion woudl cost more that what i want to spend, i reckon the 5k will be enough for it, doesnt need to go overly fast, might sue it for some super sprints and motorkhanas, but prob not much more than just a daily

Bustin_86
2nd January 2008, 11:07 PM
keep it as a near daily man!

cheers mate

yer, wheels are 14x7 -2 all round, fit pretty nicely in stocko gaurds but we will see when i go a tad lower at teh front

cheers KE70briskev

KonaKid, i liek it without the bumper, plus you can probably see how much higher teh rear end is now minus the bumper and teh tow bar, they msut weigh a bit

yer, been looknig for soem chromies floodys, i tried fitting a ke55 frotn bumper to it but it was too much work, might jsut save up for the real thing, ay?

kewagon
16th January 2008, 07:30 PM
also, forgot to mention, i have ordered all the bits and pieces to rebuild my 5k, they get in tommorow, so this weekend is rebuild time, and hopefully we could be motoring with a bit mroe power by monday

kewagon
28th January 2008, 08:22 PM
well all the engien bits are only finally here, got new rings, bearings, full gaskett kit, got the head shaved a bit and i pulled the motor down, we honed the bores today so i jsut gotta clean everything up for it and she can go back togeather,

also got my new struts from justin at Kyouteki, t18 struts with lucas pads, 6.5kg springs, kyb excel g short stroke shocks, chucked them in today along with a set of camber tops and a strut brace, shes a bit stiffer and lower in the front now and rides way better, i need soem corona lcas now to get some nice camber and a little bit more track,

29th January 2008, 08:33 PM
looks sweet so far flared guards and fender mirrors

possibly quads but go genunie stylez rather than ghetto

has huge potential

chrome bumpers needed

Bustin_86
30th January 2008, 10:55 AM
James i have a set of chrome bumpers if thats your deal

Hooked up price very possible

floody31
30th January 2008, 02:24 PM
I dunno James, I could prop my eskyvan up on 3 with the mighty 61hp (flywheel) 1600 kent if I had the right amount of dedication to a corner, lol... Short stroke fronts and leaf rear with no swaybar do that..
