rhys's brown ke70 wagon

[rhys2229]

hey chaps i've recently bought this wagon as my orange ke sedan wasnt big enough to cater for my needs.
I'm an apprentice carpenter hence the need for a wagon.

I bought this gem today,a 1983 metalic brown flat front wagon with 128 000kms, mint interior, tightest k-50 gearbox i've come across, one original owner stock as a rock. Only downside is the suspected blown head gasket, fingers crossed that hasnt cracked the head or block,

my plans are to swap all the goodies from my sedan into this than sell the sedan.

The list of goodies i'll swap over include:



The things i need to buy/do:


probably more to come but cant think of anything else, heres some pics



what every one needs, a dad with a hilux




unchopped lower compartment






got stuck into it, i've taken the intake and exhaust bolts/nuts/studs, air cleaner setup, carby,filthy rocker cover,




also found some random old receipts and other things, the one below is from 1989!

mmm pencilly

Envious of your mint wagon.
Can't wait to see how she ends up

[rhys2229]
