KE70 Projects

hey people, just thought I would post up my 3 month old ke70 that I bought from a dodgy apprentice mechanic. eg. Cut au falcon springs (that fell out when we lifted the car up), welded stock borgwarner diff, blown head gasket, straight pipe to split sh*t drift tip yeeeee, instrument cluster wasn't working/broken, no locknut key, interior ripped to sh*t/missing a lot, wrong tyres to go with rims?!?!, callipers rattling, steering rack/rack boots destroyed, wheel bearings all shot and to finish it all off lots of body work.........................lucky we like challenges right.

I've been meaning to bang up a thread for a while. I purchased my Panno a few months ago while I was living in Melbourne, at first I wasn't to keen on converting from my usual sedans to a Panelvan, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. I have just completed the drive to relocate back to the gold coast so I can now start playing around with it. She's extremely straight with only two or three rusts spots 1/2 the size of a five cent piece. It's completely unmolested with 128000 on the clock from factory. The only few things that I have done are fit MA61 Supra wheels with fresh rubber and MA60(?) Supra seats, and a simple stereo install. Plans Engi…

Picked this up about 6 months ago now. Ive been doing small things over the time due to lack of money so thought there was no reason to post up a build but now Ive worked on it a bit thought Id promote it a bit. One day I want this to be close to perfect (in my eyes) but this is what I started with, First thing I did was fix up the rear leafs, currently running a 5 leaf pack, 2 flipped. Stiffened up the rear end significantly but hoping on an again less bouncy setup in the future. I then got some tires for the rear cheviot turbo's, spacing out the rear down the track then possibly new rims, The cheviots are growing on me. I stripped back the tailgate also and…

Hi guys I'm pretty new to this forum, previously hung out at AE86DC, JDMST, MX5CarTalk etc, basically whatever ride i'm rolling in at the time. Just sold my Evo 6 and have moved on to an AE71 wagon (who does that, honestly?), but yeah, the Evo just wasn't me. I would have preferred a low roof & flat front wagon, but this came up for sale so i grabbed it. Links to other current & previous build threads: Shakotan Corona Turbo MX5 ITB AE86 So here is my new daily: DETAILS: Stock as a rock AE71, 4AC & 5 speed. 103,000kms & 2 previous owners. Good service history. Pretty good all round really. Passenger side panels aren't quite as…

Thought I'd put this up to track it's progress, I have had a few sedans but not a wagon so this will be fun :), I got this particular one off a young girl who drove it while on her P's and before that it was an old lady car. Interior is original and unmolested and no rips/tears nothing! It looked like it was "repaired" a while back and now starting to uncover the horror!! As I got it, you can see the colour change down the side.... Hmm...?? Same on both sides! Cut out rust and put in new metal, no bog!!!!!!! This started off as a bubble!! Most of it is welded up now and half way through the wheel arch, I bought some ke70 front guards to do the fla…

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…

Hey everyone, kinda new to the forum and definitely not close to a lot of you (I'm in the states). wanted to show off my 2 door sedan build a little and will probably ask questions along the way because you guys have waaaayyy more support for corollas other than AE86's than we do in the states. on with the build. i got this car 3 years ago now and was just going to use it as a DD so i didnt have to drive my miata all the time. here is a pic of when i got it. it had some issues when i got it... it had an electric fuel pump that was dumping 10 psi into a tired weber 32/36 so it was just pig rich. the exhaust manifold was broken and the exhaust was perf…

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…

Hey guys I'm new around here and was just wanting to show you what i have bought. :) I think its got a stock 4k in it, it has had a pod filter put on it. What are some cheep mods i can do to it? thanks dean :)

such a project was started here in Finland. Toyota Corolla dx 1.3 -83 Unfortunately, the car was in children, so to correct a;)

I saw this old tape And I wish to see Retro car raing World Championship Do you think about?

So I bought this And This Then yesterday and today did this don't have any actual build pics) (Having trouble uploading video ATM heres the link, someone might be able to put it up properly for me? http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/40/ck8gmzhpmwggoytgrsenvl.mp4/) So basically, engine conversion pedal box swap rewired whole loom from 4age swapped the whole front crossmember,c/arms,coilover blah blah in one go. Will update tomorrow with proper pics of it after I tidy the enginebay up and wash it etc etc. Go into more detail about why I did this and the plans etc. Dave

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...

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?

Hey all, While i was on my way down to the local wreckers with a friend trying to buy car parts for his conformodore we drove past the local Ford specialist wreckers, and i spotted this in the corner of their yard. I Immediately made my mate turn back and abandon his parts mission as i had to go have a look at this car. something just wasnt right about that flat front in the yard... sure enough we asked to go have a look and when i got close enough i realised id found myself a genuine DX rolla! and judging by all the japanese writing all through the car, and the import plaque on the firewall its come from japan, as I'm was told the only other model that has the s…

After a long search for a Japanese "oldtimer" I got this last Thursday. It's a 1982 Toyota Corolla KE70 2 door wagon in more or less original state. Engine is 4K - 1.3l, carburettor, 8-valve OHV with maybe 55 hp. It was left standing outside a garage for three years so it's in quite a rough condition, but it fired right up! Plans are complete overhaul and maybe 4AGE blacktop swap sometime in the future. I'll have to take a look at starter later today because it doesn't work. I've put a new battery in, it takes some juice (lights on the cluster dim a bit when trying to start) but nothing happens. _MG_5952 by GeorgeCZ, on Flickr _MG_5949 by GeorgeCZ, on …

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 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.

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 :)

My mate bought this rolling shell for $300 as a project for us to do. But after a few weeks we sorta lost interest due to too much rust work needing to be done. It did come with some extra bits that helped us down the line, like suspension, diff, interior and rims.

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!

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…

1984 Corolla Sedan To do list: - Rebuild and prepare RX-7 calipers - Build and prepare front suspension - Rebuild rear brakes and suspension - Polish wheels / new tyres / locknuts - Acquire and install engine package - New seat - New radiator This is to keep track of where I am in the build. Slow and steady.

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!

Hey guys this is my Ke70 Gonna get stuck into it over the next couple of weeks little bits of rust here n there but pretty clean. I want to respray it bayside blue and get quad lights and wheels. also have a 12A rotary just hanging around so ill probably throw it in there

Sold but still in my heart. when bought fixing rust quick coat of black spray cans a beauty shot fixing those bonnet dents *shakes fist* slowly turning into more parts than car as i get kinda anal about doing it up. One thing leads to another. fitting new carpet which ended up in stripping all the trim so I could paint it. God knows what ill do to the seats now they are out.. brand new shmick tail lights. Imported from Malaysia i think. Repco only had left ones! These came with bulb holders and everything. Was awesome deal and, as the proverbial budgie says, Cheep. Yeah so thats a few of the many pics so far. Didnt wanna overload my first po…
