I have an 1983 SR5 Corolla Hardtop and wanted to see if anyone has a seatbelt for the driver side (left side in my case, USA). The interior is blue so that is the preferred color, but please send me if you have any. Also looking for interior door pull handles. Pictures attached. Thank you, I’m looking forward to getting this one the road soon.

KNIBBZY KE70 WAGON BUILD So I have decided to make a build thread for my KE70 wagon, it is going to be a long process but I thought having a space to post updates would be nice. I will try and post YouTube videos of the build on my channel as well if anyone is interested.

Hi I need suggestions for best toyota engine to swap in ke70 for drift whats your opinion about gr and uz series

Hi there...I'm very new to the corolla community since I last owned a Ke70 20 years ago. My question is I have chosen a ca18det engine for my conversion and looking at help into what rear end I should be looking at as I'm sure the standard wouldn't cope. Is there a straight bolt in diff axles and drums I can put in for a bit more more strength?would a carona diff fit and do the job?or and recommendations would be great... I will be putting a big brake upgrade on the front.

Recently inherited this from my Auntie who purchased it new from the local Toyota dealer WESTLAND TOYOTA Werribee. It had been garaged since new and was driven up until 2 years ago when my Auntie gave up driving after a few bingles. Inside it is very clean and there are some really great parts along with some damaged parts. I plan to get her running as my daily and slowly clean her up. Photos below I have not washed it yet. Took some pics to show starting point. Showing her worst side. Panel damage from 2 years ago from Auntie.

Hey all, new to all this build thread business but here goes. I'm Ollie from ye olde Hobart, currently 19 and slowly working away at this project of mine. It's an '84 ke70 wagon that I picked up close to two years ago now, paid $2150 which might have been a tad too much due to the rust but ahh well. This is how it sat as I got it Pretty much as soon as i got it home I tore it apart to inspect the rust. Wasn't too happy with what I found.. This was the worst of it as well as the usual in the guards, gutters and a few other stray spots. Unfortunately I had to do a quick fix as my brother sold his car and needed mine. So that involved sanding back, rust treating and a…

Finally got my hands on one of these bad boys. 210k on original motor. Stock as a rock besides the steering wheel. Bit if rust around the boot/rear light area but nothing too bad. Not sure which way I wanna go with it yet. Leaning towards drift.

Due to covid19 pandemic work are suspended here in the philippines, so i have to spend the whole day staying at home. This gives me a chance to work on my project ke70, instead of spending my whole day watching ke70 restoration process in youtube. I decided to strip it to bare metal using angle grinder with 36 grit 4" flap disc (no available paint stripper paint shops were close due to lockdown), removed all carpet, dashboard etc.

Hey guys, was wanting to buy some LCAS for a ke70 project. Happy to pay shipping for the right set 0403033318. Just send me a message if you have any. Or any suggestions for a different/better setup would be awesome.

any modern engines for ke70 like zz, rz, nz or else? 7K and 4age are almost impossible to find, if found , they are not in good condition and extremely expensive. any one who has done a modern engine into ke70?

Haven't had a project car in while, a friend of mine picked this up 18months ago and went home shortly after buying it (we're Irish), it's been sat in another friend's yard since collecting dust so I gave him a phone call and asked how much he wanted for it and he said if I can have it in exchange for giving him a couch to crash on when he comes back over for a holiday! So happy days, a free Ke70! It's 1982, the paints well faded but overall its in decent nick for its age, counted 7 small patches off rust on it nothing to crazy. Interior is very good, and panels are all straight enough, just let down by how faded the paint is. It's driv…

So it’s finally time and tomorrow morning I’m travelling to the goldy to pick up my Ke70 project. It’s currently in pieces and has already had rust cut out and fixed up so the first thing that I plan to do to it, is strip it fully and begin paintworks. As a tribute to my first ever car, I have decided to paint it green :O My dearly beloved Toyota Lexcen, bought for $50 off the back of a mates swamp and done up as a replica HSV SV5000 commo (but with SV89 body kit, go figure), was sadly written off after a very intimate encounter with a roo. So to revive some of my dearest memories I decided to paint my new Toyota in the same colour. Now, I …

Wondering if anyone has made their own turbo kit for a 4k before and how difficult what you need and need to do? I was looking at my ke70 and thought hmm maybe I could put my turbo that is laying around in the girlfriends shed on it give it some boost life... Zutuu.

Hi all thought I would start a bit of a thread here with my rolla. I bought the rolla about 5 years ago now and had been driving as a daily until i had a work car so started to do some work on her. I pulled the motor out and did a rebuild myself (lots of learning). Tried various combinations of carbs from stock to weber also tried twin SU's worked great but my cam was to lumpy so did not work so well at idle. Anyway moved to Sydney and the car stayed here in QLD and unfortunately had to be stored outside and very quickly grew rust and was not quite the same. However I have now moved back to QLD and have decided to get it back on the road and make a project out of it…

Hey guys I’m Finally starting on my project, I’ve had this Rolla for about 4 years, I drove it for about 2 years it started to show signs of rust, I was about to start cutting the rust out but had to move house and parked it at my parents place and bought a motorbike. So it sat there for 2 years and now I have a place with a small shed so I have brought it home to start fixing her.

Hello rolla fans, my name is Nick, i'm 30 years old and i'm from Greece. For few weeks now I'm proud owner of a Corolla KE70. Because i'm working full season I brought the car but I haven't see it or touch it yet (because i'm working in a island) so my best friend did all the papers etc and have it on his garage. The plan on this beauty going for Drift Project but for now i'm trying to fix it. Off topic : Because the rear wheels has more offset than the front I heard that you can add fenders from Golf MK1 is that true and if yes from the front or from the rear? Thanks Nick.

Will post more pictures later, 300 000km, automatic 3 speed (have a complete! 5 speed manual swap ready) Body is rust free! (wich is awesome rare in Quebec Canada) Bought it for 1200$ So far i got; chrome bumper/new front housing/everything to prep/paint to glossy black! I have a question on mirrors tough, does anyone actually bought or installed universal mirrors? I do not want fender mirrors, I will stay with door mirrors, but its really ugly atm and was thinking of buying a CIPA 18000 or 17000. Anyone has some pictures or photoshop godness? Thank you

Hey peeps! Always loved the ke70 and finally picked one up. Sure not the best condition but I couldn't refuse the $150 price tag and PANEL VAN! Motor is seized aswell as brakes. Manual box feels good. Nearly no rust except a few pin holes in not important places. Interior doesn't exist. Not much planned for it. Replace motor and put a auto behind it. Low and on a nice set of rims. Interior, just bring it back to standard. Nothing flash just after a nice cruiser. Wishfull thinking: 7k motor. Commodore/magna front brake. Lsd disc brake diff from a corona. It will be a slow build as I'm currently finishing my Datsun 521.

Back in December 2014 I bought and learn't to drive in my first car, a 1984 Toyota Corolla KE70 running project. At the time I bought it previous owners had done a few things to it, stuff that I know of were Car was just in Primer, Weber Carby, King Springs, Striped alot of the interior out and what was left in was sprayed black, Head unit with no speakers, Window tint and probably a few more things. I have alot of plans for this car but for now it is my daily until I can get some money. As a 17 year old teenager I don't earn alot of money for mods... The money that I do earn is enough to keep the car filled up with petrol each week. But I would like to have it runni…

So October last year I decided to look for a RWD car to take on khanacross/rallysprint days. I have never raced a car offroad before, so I wanted something light and durable, and didn't care too much about the power. Came across a 83 KE70 that had been used in some motorkhanas, bit rough, but cheap like I wanted. Took it home and over the next month I cut out some rust and prepped and painted the car. (Very cheaply and not all that great looking) End of November was it's first outing at a local dirt track for their last Khanacross of the year. I dual entered it with a young apprentice, Tommy, from work who has been paddock bashing since he was 9 y/o. The ca…

Hello everyone, I introduce myself Valentin; I am currently in France and I just bought a Toyota KE70 LiftBack (engine 1.3) ... not having the vehicle registration card (car of my great grandfather ... who is no longer The ...) I can not drive on open road with ... so I oriented on a complete refresh of the KE70 track version ... But I have some question that I trot, if I want to put a 4AGE In the Liftback, what cardan to put? Should I use only the steering system of the AE86? Or make a mix KE / AE? In any case it is not easy at all in France to find a French site on the KE70 .. ditto for parts sale site ... I do not find any cardan "new" or so that Are not specific to th…

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for sometime and finally decided to make an account now that I actually own a KE70. I bought this wonderful poo brown slant front off a friend for $500. It's not pretty, nor does it have an engine or much else going for it but I'm going to get it running and then daily drive it. Plans are to build it into a decent little 4K for now. Originally I had planned for a 7K but at the moment I'm going to modify the 4K. This is the journey so far; Got it, got a set of wheels for it, pulled some engines apart and decided to replace whatever I think I should to make one decent runner out of a few, new clutch and new head. I'll update the thread wh…
