hey all I first bought my ke55 off ebay, it had: -a new blood orange paint job -2" lowering blocks -no engine -no locks -no side windows -half a loom The plan was to have a nice ke55 daily driver that was nice to look at and reliable. I decided to keep the stock interior just tidy it up a little with reapolstering the seats in black, new black carpet, new black headliner. I have bought 6 new auto meter guages which i am making a new gauge cluster out of. The gauges include: -Speedo -Tahco -Water Temp -Fuel Level -Oil press -Volts I am also taking out the ignition and replacing it with a switch for accessories, a switch for reds an…

Hey all, been many years since i've frequently visited this forum, can't even find my original login details! I used to get about in a 3TGTE powered (and then 4AGTE) TE72 way back when, which I busted up when the tailshaft snapped at speed. I saved the driveline out of the car, and went in search of an AE71 panelvan, specifically because it was significantly lighter than the sedan, and didn't have to worry about a back seat for the eventual plans to fit a rollcage. A mate spotted this under a gum-tree in a suburban backyard, a deal was made, and the huntsman and gumleaf infested beast was sitting in my garage. After a cleanup and some SSR wheels: Anyway…

Just thought i'd throw up some pics of my old rolla.(from about 4years ago) There was a bit of a thread back in the day on the build i noticed alot of the pics don't work anymore so ive dug around and found some of my old pics.

Heres some pics of my 1974 ke20 2 door sedan. Picked it up for $3000 Motor 3k, fully rebuilt bout 50,000 kms on it. Ported head and nice lumpy cam. Sounds pretty tough Transmission 4 speed manual Wheels Stockies repainted and polished. Got big plans for her. First up its getting cleaned up, painting a few bits making it look neater.

OK, I have always had an obsession with the trd 3kr engine from back in the day, realised I was never going to get a real one so I decided to build my own. I don’t recommend this conversion to anyone I did it just to be see if it could be done. It took a lot of time and if I was not a fitter/turner a lot of money.

A few pics of my new 55 i bought of a friend recently, 1980 KE55 Toyota Corolla 4k 3speed auto extractors and exhaust (only mods) 52,000km Very little rust (2 small spots on the edge of the boot lid) Very straight Interior is very clean with a few small scratches on the passengers door card, and 1 small crack on the dash. Future Mods: Lowering throwing around a bit of paint and getting some detail under the engine bay. 32/36 weber and a cam. Fit my personalised plates (OKE 055) The only mark on the interior!

Long overdue (can't believe i forgot to put it up here) is my current build, after my disappointing attempt to go fast in a fwd 4agte propelled vehicle that saw me track it for the first time and within a week have it stripped down to a bare shell with the motor in the spirit. Nayways, onto the more interesting stuff, Car is a 1984 genuine ae71 spirit lil rough around the edges, just as i like it. Came with the original 4ac of doom with probably close to 400,000kms or more, hard to say due to the rear diff ratio being changed to 4.3:1 Drove it on and off while i was sorting out the fwd death trap, eventually it just stopped getting driven as i sorted all the …

after dickin around with a vl turbo that i was gona use to tow my ca18 ae71 for the past few months iv decided its not worth it anymore and bought myself this new beast... gold ke70 sedan stock as a rock 4k auto with overrated interior. the paint isnt to bad and it has NO rust in guards but had rust in the bonnet and behind the rear wheels and along the body below the boot. this is how i bought it... so i figured seeing as the ca18 rolla wont be seeing the track til next year id rip out the suspension and fit it to the ke along with the wheels which JUST fit on the rear with a light guard roll... this weekend I'm fixing all the rust and then il get a roadwort…

Hey guys, Back in February as some of you already know my baby 55 coupe was stolen :sob: I had my eye on Dougie's(phatke20) ke38 wagon he had for sale as a project build, but things dramatically changed and the search for a project turned into a search for a daily driver. Picked this beauty up for a bargain(thanks again Dougie) drove it down from redcliffe for a measly $650 with the help of my brother (chillin). as I got her: 1981 ke38 wagon, 4spd manual, whiny diff over 60, few dints and bumps, little bit of rust, no stereo, dull paint. classic ke. So, I got her home and gave it a wash, little polish and booked it in for a roady the next day, Passed easily. S…

Hey peoples, my daily ride is a 1972 ke20. this car was always the car i was going to own and hey now i have one. its pretty damm clean for a car of its age and goes great all day every day. the downsides to the car are the small bit of rust beneath the back window, tiny bit of rust inside the door/window frame, a fairly large ding down the passenger side of the car ( previous owner fell asleep at the wheel) -_- and scratches on the bonnet and left side of the car where the previous owner went through a barb wire fence GRRR!!! payed $2700 for it and have plans to spend lots on it!! haha Specs as it sits now: 5k with webber carby 5 speed thermo fan mounted on l…

Hey there, My names Jordan. I've been meaning to this on here for a while now. This is my second corolla (i have to stop being addicted). I bought it off a guy locally about 6 or more months ago. I got lucky as i wasn't looking for long till i found the Ke26 i wanted :). It has a 4K atm but am looking to upgrade to a mildly worked 5K :yes: Has a 5 speed box which i find very handy. Jap diff. Things i have done: Satin black RA40 Celica rims running 195/60 R14 tyres all round. Engine change from 3K to 4K (my first engine change). Rust repairs, however i have not fully finished and am unsatisfied with my job. So i will be restarting and maybe practice weldi…

Picking this up from an uncle on the weekend, can't wait! I just couldn't pass it up - especially given I'm paying almost nothing for it. The car hasn't been registered for 4 or 5 years but has been in regular use carting wood around the block, and I'm hoping to drive it home (from the Barossa - usually 1 hour but will take at least hour and a half in this thing) on the weekend after a service and check-over. Gotta love SA rego laws :yes: just hope the clutch holds out - apparently it slipped with the last load of wood (although uncle reckons he had a 1 1/2 tons of wood on it!!!) It's got the trusty 12R with column 4 speed manual, and check out the custom high-…

Hi! My Name is Chris and I live in Austria. I am addicted to oldschool Toyotas and my pride is my 84 MA61 Celica Supra (which is one month younger than me): I have spent last year a lot of money to let other people restore it, but I am not really happy with the result, so I want to do it myself next time. Before I start that, I want to learn how to do all the work on another, more simple car. This is why I bought a KE70, and here it is (pictures are not from me, will be updated as soon as I pick it up): Of course It has a lot of bad bits, this is why I have bought it. The worst is: As far as I have seen yet the liftbacks are no…

hey guys this is my ke70 i raced at the khanacross on sunday and came 1st against second was rob he is on this forum he created a thread on another forum heres the link http://forum.4age.org/index.php?/topic/1753-crazy-looking-corolla/page__gopid__30242#entry30242

Just picked this old girl up from its original owner, I saw it forsale on a facebook buy swap sell group and it screamed "BUY ME", I had been eyeing it off for years going around town. it has 177000km on the clock, very minor rust in the rear arches, a small hit to the rear and thin paint on the bonnet otherwise the interior is perfect and the paint apart from the bonnet will come up very good with a wax. Even the dash pad is great (this is rare out here in the country as the horrible summers get to it. The little 4k needs a rocker cover gasket and maybe o rings on the spark plug tubes but otherwise the engine is going to stay 100% stock. the rest of the car is go…

I acquired this MS85 Crown a few weeks back and plan to get it on the road and enjoy it. Here are some pics that were supplied before I looked at it - Since I got it I have managed to get it running. I polished it today and will take some pics tomorrow to show how much more amazing it looks now its all sparkly and clean! It really is quite a tidy car. After that I just want to put some rego on it and get it driving. Plans include: Twin Whitewalls KE20 Chrome Mirrors to replace the huge elephant ear ones on there - if anyone has a pair of these they are willing to part with let me know Crown Hubcaps - maybe??? I'm not sure what I wil…

Hey guys, after having had my L's for a while and decided to start a project of my own with some help from my Dad. After watching dad do up his cars over the years i learnt a few things along the way and decided to have a crack myself. After looking around for a car i came across Corolla ke70's and fell in love with the way they look when they are given some love and attention. So i looked around for ages trying to find one but no luck. After putting a add in the paper i found one in really good condition with a nice straight body, a fare few dents but very streight. It had a cooked engine but come with spares to rebuild it. I ended up paying a grand for the lot in the en…

Hi, I'm James and this is my 82 Ke70 I bought the car about 2 years ago for the handsome some of $300, minus engine and gerabox. Since then i have spent countless hours and dollars on it.

Here's my story. I bought this one owner, high mileage 7AFE 5spd AE102 wagon back in Oct 2008 with plans of doing a swap but not the typical 4AG (ZE/20v) swap. It's my grocery getter / daily driver so my choice of engine would have to provide good low end torque without boost & have balls for passing as necessary. The only engine that met my needs in a FWD application was a redtop BEAMS (197hp / 152tq) from a 1998+ Toyota Celica SIII ST202. The engine was purchased in Mar 2009 from JDMSource out of Calgary, AB. The swap was done in Apr 2009 entirely by my good friend Adam from AMT Machine Shop which took a total of 9 business days! The rest shall we say is history…

Purchased this little gem from a fellow Rollaclub member in WA. Its all original and looks to have traveled about 120,000miles. Paint is all original and it still has the original K 1100 motor in it. Seats are already at the trimmer to get repaired ( bottom of the front seats and top of the rear seat ), will give it the big detail this Sunday and then down to the panel shop Monday to have the dent in the boot and rust in the right front guard done. Will update pics and work gets completed.

Hey guys, been a member and corolla lover (sometimes inappropriately) for some years, and ive had a many corolla rides and small projects. But this is my first KE, bought off GJM85 from here. Plans are, clean it up a little, treat the rust spots, Rego, then slowly do some small mods when finances permits me. Bit more power from the 4K would be nice, extractors and 2" exhaust to start with. But the thing i really want, is a nice set of wheels. But, I'm poor :( Its very very original, interior isnt molested at all, 5 speed, and still got the awesome cassette player and AM only radio :) . Cheers gavin, ill take good care of her. And i need some help choosing a name, any sug…

Hey guys, so a little bit bout me, ive loved modding cars & never kept anything stock in my life, I'm slightly technical minded but havent at that much experience on the mechanics side of things which I'm really keen to learn bout & i think this KE70 will help me with ;).. My daily/streeter has been a swift sport for the last yr & now ive pretty much got my swift to where I'm happy with it so ive moved onto a new project & to start getting myself into drifting.. So i went out & started looking for something cheap, something with easy parts & cheap parts to get, obviously something rwd & something with potential.. So while i was looking on forum…

Hey guys, finally got my backside into another Corolla - turns out almost 4 years is too long not to have one. It's a 1975 2 Door, 4K, 5 Speed, and a Jap 4.3 diff. Going to change some things in time to come. So far replaced the carburettor, the spark plug tube O rings, gave it a bit of a tune up. Runs a little better. Off now to replace the gasket on the back of the head its dripping coolant, replace the spark plugs, change the thermostat. And another re-tune.

Starting off with an extra 25 killaaaa wotz Before During After Next Time: Cut Springs to get low.

Hey, I'm from North Carolina, just picked up a 1983 wagon and I'm ready to start work on it. I am a bit confused about the suspension on these cars as far as interchangeability goes. The rear is leaf spring, but is the front the same as all e70's? I'm still confused by all the chassis designations. It seems people like to run ae86 coilovers up front, what all parts do I need for this conversion? Mainly just wondering what springs/shocks I can use really for a budget setup in the front, thanks. I'll get some pictures soon
