I'm new here and new to forums so don't expect something special.

Anyway my license was recently disqualified for a year so I bought a manual 31 wagon with a locker and had my fun for the last few days of having my license. Put it up for sale and was offered a good cash offer and was ready to let it go, until I got offered a mint 2 owner 130,00kms 1984 KE70 with slight cash adj my way. I had a think bout it and thought I may as well take it and build it for when I get my license back so I have something to look forward to so I said yes. I've found a donor car but just don't have the money at the moment, once I get my JZA80 Supra off defect and sold I will start looking for everything, I'll grab bits here and there as they pop up if they're cheap.

So here is the R31 Wagon I swapped had lots of goodies:

1984 KE70: 2 owner 130,000kms with the mighty 4K heart (actually goes better than my last 2)

The car was dirty so pics aren't the greatest

Fade on the bonnet letting the car down :( Will be getting sprayed though :)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/6/9/9/3/541267.jpgInterior is pretty clean few minor things like a tear in passenger seat but I will be putting S13 seats in anyway. I used instagram for the .http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/6/9/9/3/541268.jpgInterior was a little dirty but won't be looking like that for long I will give it a real good clean inside and out and give it a bit of a detail.
