So a lot has happened in the last 6 months.

Purchased a POS ke70 sedan for $700 as my daily blew a box back last year, sold it, then brought this wagon!

Done a little, more just to freshen it up, still much to do!

 

Motor swaps happening tomorrow, nothing cool yet ;) just 4k 5sp

 

But yeah here she is

 

Removed all stickers, removed the black door plastics.

 

Looking for brake upgrade/suspension though. So if anyone can steer me in the right direction it would be much lay appreciated :)

So the weekend had some fun involved, the spigot was too tightly in there so had to cut the inner race off to pull the outer race that chewed up way too much time!

But I got everything on the motor and cleaned, I also got the engine bay painted ready for the motor in on Sunday!

Enjoy

So, the 4day long weekend begins Saturday!

Plenty to do, hopefully have everything sprayed and re mounted and have a fresh coated engine bay and engine mounted!

Depends how I go to how much extra is done, keen to get this sprayed!

 

Updates will come a few days after

 

[Bens Project Ke70]

So major update motor is out aswell as everything in the engine bay, next task to tackle is getting front windscreens out! Can anyone help with info? Or link a thread, as I can't find anything! As I need to swap the headliners over and replace the cracked windscreen

This weeks to do list is, flare the front guards weld the rear guards and missing panels, clean strip and put new parts on the motor, get the flywheel machined, 5sp on the motor, and motor in! All other engine parts will be sandblasted and either polished or painted, engine bay will also get a lick of paint!

Big work and not much time, some snaps of today's progress

[Removal Of The Shell? Ke70]

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help.

At the moment I'm looking at taking the shell of my 83 ke70, as I'd like to properly spray and weld appropriate parts.

I've searched google, and the forum and have found nothing, so if anyone knows of a web address or has done it, what needs to be done? Looking to give it a crack this weekend.

Cheers guys!

Regards Ben

Cheers mate! Well it will be blue, but I'm hoping for a fresher more vibrant blue, went and got paint cards to get a rough idea today :)

 

I'm pretty happy with it, I've been lucky!

 

Yep, planning on ssr meshies probably 15x8 -0 so auto diff is better?

[Bens Project Ke70]

So the blue turd was too far gone to even worry about, so all the interior has came out and panels, and picked up another KE for free!

Heaps cleaner 4sp manual, and have already started transplanting interior and painting/priming before transplanting the bits of panel that are needed.

More photos and updates to come,

Should be ready for a blue slip and motor work in hopefully a month

[Bens Project Ke70]

Hey guys!

been on the forum for a while lurking for one, but as luck turns out my mate had one sitting in his front yard collecting rust, so after consulting the parents i got the beast!

absolutely full of rust, but trying to fix it bit for bit as a PROJECT car.

cost me a full $0.00 so hey, can't complain. but this is it 1984 ke70 sedan Auto :( not for long!

 

 

Began pulling interior out to freshen it up

 

 

 

and this is my daily, 2002 mazda 323 astina. this thing was stock, now none of it is what actually came on the car. but all genuine mazda parts both USDM and JDM

 

Plans for the KE are get the rust fixed and on the road

-manual conversion

-bigger carby maybe motor work

-some nice guard filling wheels

And lowered

Nothing crazy as yet
