Here is my ke70 high roof slanty wags

bought it as my first car for $500 in 2009, saw it up the road from mine, so lucky.

28779

4k 4 speed 32/36 webber stock as rock

spent some time fixing rust and getting ready for paint. also found some wheels :)

my dad and i painted it, came up alright for a at home job.

then lowered it.

28787

done all this while i was on my L's, wanted to do everything myself and i did.

drove it around for about a year and a half, took it everywhere! 4k never let me down but wanted more power. Did a bit of research on what i could put in it, narrowed it down to 13b or 4age. i ended up going down the 4age track as theres endless info and is a bolt in conversion.

got myself an ex track ae71 with bigport, t50 and fuel system. swapped all the running gear over into the wags was quite easy.

after driving it around for a week and abit i had to do something about suspension, had cut falcons up front with rooted shock and 2.5 blocks in the rear also rooted shocks. got myself some t18 struts converted to coilovers with cusco camber tops kyb inserts and kyb short strokes for rear and flipped the load spring to the top to eliminated tramp and added stiffness.

drove it around for a year, so much better than 4k. never had any troubles with cops somehow.

bought a ae82 with 4agze to put into the wagon but the wagon ran out of rego and i got lazy also sorta lost intrest in it so just parked it out the back of mine... till the other day i a spark now im gonna get the old girl back on the road. plans are get the 4agze in, get some quality front suss/break gear and do something with the rear end.

as it sits now, so keen to get back behind the wheel of this again...
