Thought I had better get around to doing one of these and see if it would spark some interest. Also to give you all a reason to laugh at my "sweet skills" as well as 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
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

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)
