Trent-KE30 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Are these 3 Doors somewhat rare?, I have only ever seen 1 or 2 getting round here? Quote
z|gen Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 hey, they are getting harder to find, most have surcome to rust in the front doors and around the boot. there are still quite a few over here, just finding a decent one is the hard part. this is the second 3 door wagon iv owned, but the previous one was in a slightly better cond. next on the list for it is a whole new rear end - diff, axles, housing etc, as apparently when driving it home last night, both wheels were wobbling, which seems to tell me that my wheel bearings are about to go. and it $60 each, its cheaper to replace the whole thing at once lol. pics; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/bdazl/blue2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/bdazl/blue1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/bdazl/blue.jpg Quote
z|gen Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 haha, nice from far, far from nice. it drives nice, doesnt use any petrol compared to my old Mark2 wagon which would use $10 petrol driving 30ish kms.. :o Quote
Nitephyre Posted February 10, 2006 Report Posted February 10, 2006 sweet, another PANELVAN :o good luck with it :D Quote
z|gen Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Posted February 10, 2006 haha well..struck the first and quite a large problem on the road to getting it road legal.. the front seat belts which were suppiled as new ones, are incorrect 'doh' :o so now i have no passenger seat belt, so i wont be out cruising this weekend :D now on the hunt for 2 front seat belts..

z|gen Posted February 11, 2006 Author Report Posted February 11, 2006 well, fixed the rear end..turns out the diff and wheel bearings are fine. it had LOOSE wheel nuts :o , almost lost both back wheels last night coming home, luckily i had the stereo turned off, so i heard what i thought was a stone rattling around, turned out to be 2 wheel nuts on the right rear coming off, and 3 on the left rear coming off. make sure when buying a new car, you don't take the previous owners word that the wheel nuts are done up tight. :D Quote
gtnickk Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 All i have to say is i like. :P Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Very nice :P I didn't realise the KE70's started in 81 Quote
z|gen Posted February 14, 2006 Author Report Posted February 14, 2006 they start in 1981, they started in 1980. Quote
goldke70 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 they start in 1981, they started in 1980. Do the wagons run the same front struts and springs as the sedans? Quote
