AE71 Haggard Wagon - Moonlight Garage's parts/tyre car ( R.I.P 1984 - 2012 - Gone Too Soon )

[maxhag]

Picked up a AE71 wagon today to be the new parts/tyres transporter and camper/fishing vehicle. I've been looking for a while for a Panel van or wagon for the right price, and got this one today.





The car has very little rust (surface only really), few small dents, 4AC, runs, but blows oil smoke. It is a manunal 5 speed (T50). Car has 590,000kms!

It shouldn't take too long to get it up to scratch. I will be fitting a 4AGTE motor, simple bolt in job (from my crashed gold AE86), wheels, and the body will stay haggard....

It gets delivered in 2 weeks....


At first, I was thinking the rear bumper had to go, as its massive and hideous, but then realized that since its a work/support vehicle, I can use it as a mobile work bench. I can attach a mini vice to it.

Nice, where'd you pull this fine machine out of??

[AIROCOBRA]

Does this mean that the Limo is going to be put down ?

[maxhag]

local guy.... Got it cheap...

[maxhag]

That would be ideal bob! but for now, I still need that for towing my boat......

[dove grey 64]

Nice find and it'll be an awesome beast with your gold sprinters heart.

[joeschmo_57]

how much of goldys suspension will go into it?

[maxhag]

^^ none really. It would be silly to put GReddy coilovers in a beater wagon

Will get the rear leafs reset, and most likely just run AE86 front struts with shocks and springs....
