Picked this bad boy up about 1 month ago as a bit of a side project along side getting my calais turbo wagon back on the road......its a 1983 KE70 Wagon, 4k, 4spd manual, 190,xxx kms on the clock. Doesn't blow smoke, lights work (sort of) and it drives pretty straight considering its age. This is basically going to be my car to learn rust repair, body prep and painting on. It's unrego'd so It doesnt really bother me long it takes to sort out.

 

It has a decent amount of rust, but most of it I THINK i will be able to sort out.

 

now thats rust!

indeed it is....I don't believe it to be completely unfixable. My welding skills are limited, but I'm willing to give it a bash. Like i said its unreg'd so I'm not really phased if it takes a while. But i hope to have the body fixed and painted mid next year. See how i go i guess

Moving to melbourne now and this is up for sale as I'm not spending the money to take it across. The car is exactly the same as you see in these photos minus a section i cut out of the rear lower quater panel ( yet to be patched ).....comes with ae71 cross member that i picked up a while ago.

 

who ever gets the closest to $300 can take it. Car is in Perth, not registered

 

Cheers
