TOM Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Just picked this up for a daily crapper while I rebuild my sedan. My 4th KE70 (first slant front) and my 15th corolla... :lol: $700, 4K, 5speed, Air con, apparently has a new heavy duty clutch. Its red :hmm: Done 338k kms, floats like a boat so new shockers will be on the cards. Motor is nice and quiet, no smoke and goes as a 4K should. Paint is pretty good, rust is easily fixed but needs doing before it rains, pics to come as it gets fixed... Interior is pale blue and not too bad mostly Towbar, 5 speed and a/c sealed the deal for me as that was what i wanted Plan is to clean it up over a few weeks then use it while my white sedan is put into retirement for a rebuild. Will probably get lowered a fraction and some wheels I'm hoping to get back off an old KE36 wagon i had. Other than that just clean it up on the inside and drive the bastard...maybe should clean up ok for its purpose :'( dirty, dirty 4K and the greasiet a/c i have ever seen Quote
TOM Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 Update: the wags is serving its purpose as a camp/bike/work bus very well as per photos... 340,xxx kms and still going strong! Rear main seal looks like its going and valve stem seals are worn, rear bearings are noisy but I can live with that considering what the plans are... Plans: Get another 6 months out of it then take the good bits off and scrap the rest unless anyone would actually want the whole car...not likely haha Mate and I out at my block with our Vintage Enduro weapons (mine is the yellow Suzuki PE250 all rebuilt) Cheers, Tom Quote
7shades Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 Pwoaaar cool... my old man used to race enduros... he has a shed full of old bikes (mainly huskies) he refuses to part with :( Got 3 Ossa's too :o Quote
Kid-Ae Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 if u wanna get rid of the wags in 6 months and don't mind sending it to melbourne ill be happy to have it :o just don't let it get too far behind passing a roady :( Quote
TOM Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Posted April 17, 2008 just don't let it get too far behind passing a roady smile.gif Haha we don't have those in SA... Although the car is fine if driven accordingly, she's far from what the authorities would say is "roadworthy" :( Will keep it in mind though... Of course it is very tempting to do this if its still going... Quote
