AE71 Haggard Wagon - Moonlight Garage's parts/tyre car ( R.I.P 1984 - 2012 - Gone Too Soon )
Picked up a AE71 wagon today to be the new parts/tyres transporter and camper/fishing vehicle. I've been looking for a while for a Panel van or wagon for the right price, and got this one today.
The car has very little rust (surface only really), few small dents, 4AC, runs, but blows oil smoke. It is a manunal 5 speed (T50). Car has 590,000kms!
It shouldn't take too long to get it up to scratch. I will be fitting a 4AGTE motor, simple bolt in job (from my crashed gold AE86), wheels, and the body will stay haggard....
It gets delivered in 2 weeks....
At first, I was thinking the rear bumper had to go, as its massive and hideous, but then realized that since its a work/support vehicle, I can use it as a mobile work bench. I can attach a mini vice to it.
