OK guys & gals, come across this KE70 1982 ..

Unfortunately it aint in the best shape....

Should I save or should I break ???

 

Usual rot rear pockets.... arches are ok.... all 4 doors are completely rotten..

sills have been welded in the past.

floor panels of what I have seen are ok..

there are holes as pictured below.. i aint ever seen rot there before on KE70's..

is it worth saving ???

You expert views please....

if not I was going to break the car, bootlid & bonnet are excellent...

 

Have a look .... Where it circled yellow both sides have the holes..

Thats pretty serious, but anything can be fixed!

 

Luckily it is a 4 door, which are plentiful over here. I'm sure someone on this forum would be able to send you some new lower door sections to weld in.

 

There's no rust in the roof, so thats good.

 

I would suggest (if you have storage space) take the car home and strip it down to check for rust in the frame. If there's none, I would say that it is fixable.

 

It would be a big project, but I've seen worse :)

Thats pretty crazy. Are they hard to get over there? That front would sell alright over here :lolcry:

 

Havent come across the GL versions for years, and they are gettin scarce now...

Had a DX (chrome bumper model) 2 in the past year..

But in ur neck of the woods I believe they r still around??

 

How easy is it to get the door skin bits ?? and how much ?? anyone

It looks like a big job. Anything is possible? Are the sills strong or rusted again? Would it be safe to hoist it for a look at the rails? Looks like its had acid rain on it or something, those holes in the pillars are shocking.

 

If you do decide to fix it I can send you some metal sections from my spares car.

 

I love the front end, can we have a front on shot of it?

 

If you decide to part it out put me down for the front beaver panel.

 

Cheers.
