KE70 Projects

hey guys, this is my project 83 ae71.. i had a thread a while ago but decided to have it deleted and start again fresh... i bought the car on the 21 june 2015 and it didnt really do much for a few months, until i found some motivation to make it cool.. This is what it looked like the day i bought it .. white, slant front, unhealthy smallport 4age with downdraft weber (weird but cool), some steelies and mostly standard suspension, interior wasnt great and either was the exterior..

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.

just bought a ke70 5sp for a bargain $200, he says it needs a new carby and booster, the breaks still work just very bad, (have to push all the way in with alot of pressure to work at all), would it be the booster or something else? also would a boss kit for an ae86 fit? and would the strut bars from ae86 bolt straight in?

Recently i have bought a 1984 cs ke70, i bought it off a nice 94 year lady :) so she had not been much of a daily driver, the car only had 45,500 km's when i bought it. garaged its whole life so the cars paint, interior, roof lining, chrome and anything you can think off was all in overrated condition. And i have a lot of plans for it :) let me know what you think :)

First post not much of a computer..er but thought ide share my project ke70 2 door wagon ls3 powerglide twin 66mm (to4z) bla bla

Hi all.. Just finished mounting an AE86 front bar to my KE70 over the weekend Let me know what you think Cheers

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.

Hey guys So i'm rebuilding my KE70 (especially the engine) and i've hit a bit of a snag. I'm pretty keen to put a bit of extra power into it but I'm not sure whether to go and get a turbocharged V6 or keep the 4K and tune it like a boss. if you guys have any ideas, thoughts, HELP mainly, it would all be MUUUUUUUUUUCHLY appreciated. i'll chukc up a coupld of pics later Cheers guys

Hey, names Andrew! Been lurking on ke70.com and rollaclub for a while now just now been bothered to post a thread on my keto Had its for around a year and a half now, reason why i bought it was I got a lemon stagea from an importer, got a refund, gave the bank the money back and bought my mates keto from wagga, still got it and love it ^__^ Been slowly adding to it 1983 ke70 4kc originally auto, but was changed before i got a hold of it to a 5 speed. 146,000 original ks. air con has been removed previously. Car was straight until it moved to sydney with me where it has copped car park dents everywhere. :( rust around the petrol cap, thats about it …

Thought I'd throw a couple of pics up of my Rolla, bought it earlier this year with a regency defect, but fixed it up an passed first time, got it home an ripped the 4k out an through a 4ag in, its still far from finished.... Oh an a pic of my previous 4ag t18...

Hi. This is my 1982 Toyota Corolla ke70. I have had it for almost one year or so now, and i'm thinking about getting some more power out of it. I have not made some super plans for it quite yet, but hopefully I it is ready for "Gatebil Våler" 2015. "Gatebil" is a trackday/track event in Norway (where I come from) Here is a pic of how the car looks like today, it is preshly painted in it's orginal colour. It also have some lowering springs. So this weekend I started with the raer axle. I got a Volvo 240 axle for free from a buddy of mine, and it fits quite perfect. It is alot of work, but i think it is worth it, because i'm planning t…

Hey everyone, though id do a build thread of my ke project, maybe get some advice along the way and get more involved in the community Building it for drift use only, not engineering it for roadworthy purposes Bought it fairly stock, had an s13 front suspension and coilovers and that was it First thing i did was remove the diff centre to weld, got it all welded up but unfortuantly broke on of the spacers between the diff bearing and the housing trying to get it back in Had a real hard time trying to find one to replace it, decided to buy a mates vl commodore that was in a front end crash for $100 for the read end, got the mounts welded onto it and went i…

Hey guys :) So I'm here to post about my new ke70 corolla! I'll attach photos of my progress, so far only had her for about 2 months, in-love already!! She's got 220 000ks not bad for her age ('83). Had a few carby problems with dirt stuck in the carby. Recently had the exhaust fixed due to two leaks and a new fuel pump installed. It's a slow progress which I'm looking forward to the end result :) Any tips or help is muchly welcomed as I'm new to this type of car.

Hi guys! Picked this little beauty up tuesday night. It's a standard 1981 KE70 panel van called Henry :yes: I am the second owner! It has 250k on the clock but engine and gearbox were rebuilt about 80k ago. Drives well. It has a straight body but has a little rust in some areas. Interior needs a bit of work. I used to see this around my house a lot and one day, a few years ago, I pulled up next to it at the servo so I asked the bloke if he would sell, he said he wasn't selling yet but took my number anyway. Then recently, he and his wife contacted me saying they were looking to sell, so I went and had a look. So glad I did! Really nice people and was pleased with…

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…

Hi guys, I'm new here so I thought I would show you my new project.It's an 84 ke70 wagon (high top) I purchased it for $475 off a young lad who only owned it for a mounth and brought it off an elderly gentleman who turns out to be the original owner and to my supprise it's never left the town I live in.It was purchased new in 84 at nambucca heads toyota which is now a nersery and was driven around this town by the elderly gentleman up until augaust 2012.It has a bit off rust but the body is really straight and only has 143000 klms on the clock also has the blue interior (I'm not a fan of the brown one).So here are a few pics of the old girl.future plans atm are some watan…

Hi all, This is my first post and I'm kinda new around here but I thought I'd start documenting my 1981 Toyota Corolla Ke70 build and everything else that comes along with it :wasted: So i bought my little poo brown corolla about a month or two down in Gosford (I live in Sydney) with around 69XXX genuine kms on it off some dude looking like dis, high in the air, but on stock steelies: It was in pretty good condition bar a few dings, had close to no rust, deep dish steering wheel, new alloy radiator and started and ran! Had a pretty dodgy drive back home as the thing pretty much didnt have brakes :wave: I wish I took photos of them but it was metal on me…

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…

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.

Hi, My name is Josh or Funwithsmexy as i go by on my gaming youtube channel. And this is my ke70 project I did have another project thread but i thought I'd remake it as this is a different car :D If you live in Perth and you go on car cruises i would say you have seen this car as I got to neally all of them every week :D (love the attention ke70's get.) So lets start off by when my other corrolla got yellowed I decided i would buy another if I had the chance.

I picked up this 81 sportcoupe a month ago, i got it with a junk motor, i swapped in my wagons old motor and got it running. the interior is prettyclean. i cleaned up the bay,changed the leaky axle sealsand lowered 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.

Hey everyone new to the page. Has anyone ever fitted a 4 link and chassis clip in a ke70. Looking for some contact and info on where I can get one. We have tried McDonald brothers racing but wondering if there is any other options in Australia

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.

G'day, I own a '84 KE70 and want to start to do it up a bit. I don't know where to start. Anyone got any advice or tips on what to modify or what not? Anything would be brilliant. Cheers!

Hey everyone I thought I'd show y'all my Ke70 build I'm planing on driving it as a daily but there's no rush to finish it although I'm real keen to drive it on the road not just skid it up and down my drive way and piss my neighbors off! LoL Here are some pics of the corolla when i first got her Not long after getting her I picked up a 16v 4age out of an ae82 corolla, note this is after a good degreasing and pressure wash it was covered it like an inch of oily crap! I then serviced it and replaced almost every seal I could also painted my cam covers! Then I set about cleaning up my engine bay! Before, After painting it And then after after c…

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.

Hey all, My name is Joel and i'm new to this Club. well new to toyota's all together really. i have owned mostly nissans and still own a R34 at the moment. Want to get rid of all my passed debt from building imports and maintaining them lol, so i will be selling my R34 in a few months and building me ke70. Just picked this fkn peice of machinery up about a month ago. has a 4k in it with twin webers with a 5 speed. usual rust spots (not that much thankfully) its not on the road but i did pay a good price for it it runs ok but i will be putting in a 4age before it goes on the road. car will be getting a repaint and suspension and wheels and all the other tric…

The 5k ke70 Watanabe wheels from 8.5 to 9.5 by the 14's tune by my boss.

Gday all. First time starting a topic and only due to being in a tight situation... Purchased the vehicle as is, unregistered. Running a 1G-GZE. Highly modified all round, diff, brakes, seating, gearbox, supercharger, intercooler etc. Checked the mod plate when getting it roadworthied and noticed no mod code for engine change... Bugger. Got codes for all above mentioned mods. Does anyone know if this engine can legally be shoehorned into this vehicle? I will try to get some pics loaded up, but really just want to know if I will be able to register it as a daily driver? I'm in QLD. Thanks!

Hi! Let me introduce myself first: i'm Ricardo, 24 and i live in the Netherlands. Took a while but i finally bought a rwd Toyota (Pretty rare over here and the most that are for sale are expensive). The previous owner started to pulling the car appart and removed almost all of the rust. But because of personal reasons he couldn't finish it. The car before it was taken appart: And how it looked when i bought it: Some of the new parts that i got with the car: And the rest of the parts: Have enough plans for it but first i want the car back on the road as fast as possible because i don…
