    Default A KE70 Wagon

    Hey all
    bought my first Ke70 not long ago. Its a wagon it doesnt have much power but the 4K-C still goes hard! It is not in the best of shape but that was reflected in the price i paid for it but it still only had 204k kms.
    it was missing a few things like drivers window, some trim and the tailgate lock was broken. Anyway here are a few pics of it when i got it:







    soon after getting it I went to u-pull-it to get some parts to fix it up. I also got a pair of cheap rims to put on the front and upgraded all the locks to Volvo locks (harder to break into compared with corolla locks). also made got a better gear knob and made a custom drift button ..









    ps: duct tape was used to cover rust from view...(keep the parents happy)

    yeah it loves the dirt hairpins on the way home better than the hill climb!

    also just adjusted valve clearances, cleaned and adjusted the points and got new dizzy cap, leads and plugs

    yeah still haven't started sanding it yet, maybe i will finish it this weekend

    it ran out of rego yesterday as i didn't renew it so i could do some work on it. So i don't think i'll be able to come down in it until i fix a few things up. maybe thinking of 4ageing in this time
