Rollaclub Rides

Hello guys! I bring you a 1974 KE20 2 door sedan all the way from Pakistan. My dad bought one of these (a four door) when I was in school but we had to sell it after a few years. Then my school buddy's dad also got one of these 2 door ones. Well at some point during that time I knew I had to get one of these. So here I was a few months back getting my daily ride checked by a mechanic and I saw this car standing a few garages away. I stopped and asked whose it was, and found out it belonged to a mechanic working there. I immediately asked if he wanted to sell, and he agreed if the the price would be right. So after bargaining for a little while we agreed upon Rs 180,000 ($…

Hi, bought myself a ke20. Not too bad of a car. Going to go ca with auto, should be fun.

Meet Joansy. Owned by the same family since 1974. Saw a post by another member in the spotted thread. There was a link to the trading post. We called. Got to the owner's house by about 8:45pm and took Joansy for a short drive up to the servo so that we could check her over under the lights. She hasn't been modified in any way but the family weren't enthusiasts so though she's been well loved, any little repairs haven't been done the way a meticulous collector might do. Nothing major. Just little things like the door puller on the passenger side has been replaced with a handle from a set of drawers. :) The seats have "Playboy" covers heh heh and she desperately needs a…

Heres an update of my ke20 1974 Toyota Ke20 New Zealand New 1 Lady Owner (Yes she owned it for 34 years) I am the 2nd owner Engine: Standard 3k original 76,000 mile Interior : Original Blue Sterio: Factory AM Wheels: Standard Hubbys and White Walls Suspension: Compressed Springs and shortend shocks 3 inch Blocks in the rear Exterior: Factory Paint job

I recently bought a good condition a 1974 KE25 Deluxe Coupe which means it has AIR CONDITIONING!!! named "Lady Brown" It is a 1.2 litre 3K-h 2 speed automatic toyoglide which heavily lacks in acceleration! It is dead stock but my plans are to put a larger carby in it, possibly twin SU's or just a single webber and to do a manual conversion. It has several very small dents on the doors due to inconsiderate people in carparks, to solve this problem i have installed some bumper strips stretching the entire length of the car. i actually think it looks better like this. There are few small spots of rust no bigger than a five cent piece on the roof as well as the boot …

Hey all. back in a KE26! been sitting on this for a month now so its time i put it up. The KE11 will remain parked till probably next summer and this will be my daily :) More details, plans and of course pics to come soon.

Hey guys Well its been a few years since i have had the privilage of posting on this site as i am now back in the car i should be, A Rolla :dance: I bough this little beast from a guy on this site (Thanks Rob)from melbourne unregoed and got a permit for it and drove it back yesterday. Did it one go 10hrs from Mt Eliza VIC to Berowra NSW and didnt miss a beat :y: No overheating or anything aside from a small start and idle issue which i am getting sorted tomorrow. Funny thing i drove just under 1000km yesterday,with no plates, drove past six or seven cops and didnt get pulled over once haha. Anyway here some photos after i gave her a clean up today

hey guys, still new to the whole rollaclub scene. been a big fan of rollas for a long time though, good to see that someone has made a website based on them! anywho this is my ke35 coupe i picked up for 200 bucks at the start of the year. had been sitting under this blokes house for a few years, has seen better days. but also came with a trailer load of spare parts! unfortunately has no motor, but would have been doing transplant anyway, looking to put a 4AGE into it, eventually. well ill have a crack at uploading these photos hay. let me know what ya reckon. cheers.

G'day all, this is my latest project (car on the waiting list..) After wanting the car for about 4 months but not being able to afford it, the previous owner asked me if i had a commodore v6 engine for a conversion he's doing, ended up swapping a vt v6 wagon for the corona! its a little bit rough, but very good in the rust department, seems to only have a tiny bit on one of the rear wheel arches, has a few dents and some of the interior is a bit torn up, but still in pretty good condition for its age, i never used to like these mk2's much, but done right they can look really good :) and i now love the shape.... anyways here are some pics. stole the whe…

Hey , I'm from norway so my english is not extremly good, some words is written wrong but i don't know better :) bought my first corolla yesterday, drove 4 hours to pick it up... got enough rust... interior is nice tho :) apart from the drivers seat and that the window on the dirver side wont go up the last 3 cm's... over mountain passes and by fjords, this is a tiny tiny lake tho :) unloading at home ... old , boring, smal, ugly.... :( needs some new paint , so i gave it some new paint under the hood :) ran out of the red paint that i was using so i want and grabbed the next red can ( another brand) and yeah... you can see the difference ( radiato…

Hello everyone and i found this great site and thought to share my work with you.... And here is my recent project.... i got this 1975 toyota corolla ke20 Hi-Deluxe from my next town it was in a pretty neutral condition(not perfect and not bad) nothing was damaged, all were protected by the two owners before........thank god here's how it was sitting just before i buy straight up to the garage and got some items for it and the boot emblem which was made by my hands......... ha ha it came better than i thought and my hand made led kit for rear license plate lights bought a center console clock ........…

ok guys before you ask no i don't have any photos ;) they will be up as soon as i take some. ok the low down, was up at mad mazda matts shop, and one of his mechanics mentioned he saw an 'old corolla' sitting near the gate at one of the local wreckers. i thought no harm in having a looksie, so on my lunch break i dawdled down there expecting to see an old ae82 or something. sure enough there was a little KE30 2 door sitting in just behind the front gate. knowing the owner i told hin i was going to have a glance, it turns out to be a 1975 2 door manual.....with a 5k in place of the 3k :thumbsup: the owner of the yard said 500, i said done. so it is currently residing in m…

Hello all. Just new here but this forum has helped me plenty over last few months in sourcing parts. Car is still rough but is getting there.

SO, this is my younger brothers KE30 he got for dirt cheap, so therefore its in poor condition. Only good thing about it i think, would be the K50 gearbox. Which the previous owner installed I've taken it on as a project for myself, because of my love for cars ;P First things first was getting it running, with only 240,000kms on it i figured this couldnt be too hard (240k isnt much for these engines :yes: ) So, I put a new battery in it, new spark plugs, changed out the black as sin oil and the old oil filter, and gave the carby a good spray with carby cleaner. I turned the key and it started first go.....brilliant :happy: Next thing was to get the …

Hey guys, I own a 1975 KE30 Corolla sedan. Its basically standard apart from wheels. Has some nasty rust in a few places aswell as a few dings around the place but its not too much trouble to fix considering I am a panel beater. I will be doing a conversion to a 2002 BEAMS 3SGE Blacktop with 2004 model 6 speed box(and a few other goodies). I am just waiting for the engine to be checked out by someone because I can't inspect for myself before I buy. Hoping in will be here in the next 3-4 weeks, if not sooner. I will be running a custom one piece 3" tailshaft, and a Hilux diff with true trac LSD centre and discs. I will be doing a coilover conversion on…

Not posting to show off, but posting to share. Recently had the great opportunity to purchase this car with less than 22k original miles. Still has the 1975 registration year decal on the plate, which I've since moved and covered in the front, to allow me to place the new registration decal on the rear plate. Also, comes with original tools, tool pouch, jack, jack tools, and best of all...the owner's manual! LOL Comes stock as stock can be, down to the original unblemished hubcaps. All opinions are welcomed, but please be kind and keep any hate/negative comments to a minimal. Thank you! Now on to the pics.....and my apologies if they come out too big. I'm an old guy who'…

Got this nice little 1 owner a few weeks ago with full log books, receipts and even a Polaroid of it when it was new, its my first Corolla and so far I love it Main reason I liked it so much was that it was kept stock its whole life so there isn't many parts I need to find and I thought it was quite rare to find one in this condition. The drivers side door had a good whack a few years ago the previous owner mentioned, I had to source a new glass window (got the whole door+mirror which was awesome). Wasn't as hard to find as I had firstly thought, other than that the passenger front guard has a small but decent dent in the front near the headlight and the c…

So I've been lurking around for awhile on this forum both before I purchased this KE30, back when I had a Datsun 210, and snagged a new project off of Craigslist in Oklahoma, USA a few weeks ago for $500USD. In reality I traded some other car parts and didn't have to pay anything for this new toy. After dragging it home I found that the cylinders were stuck and began trying a few different things, Marvel Mystery Oil and other oil products. However, after that didn't work I decided to pull the head to get a better look. After pulling it off and seeing that some condensation had gotten into one of they cylinders causing some rust I decided to try a different produc…

Hey all, I just signed up here, as I just got my first rolla. You can read the history here: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/53773-n00b-just-checking-in/ Here's what I am starting with. A 1978 Corolla 1,166 cc engine and a four-speed manual trans. It has a pretty solid body, but has a few rust spots and bubbles in the paint. The under carriage needs some new pans and other sheet metal work. The interior is solid but needs reupholstered. Here are tons of pics. More to come...

Hi there, This is my new project car! 1978 Corolla KE 30 two doors, with only 69k km on it, good/overrated condition. (I'm trying to wrie M I N T condition, but it wont let me???????????????? :wtf: ) I have built a couple og cars before, a Nissan drift car eg, and som german crap.... Plans for the car is to make it in to a clubdrifter, streetlegal of course.... I have a Corona thats beyond repair, so thinking of taking the engine from that one (18R) and put it in the Rolla, uppgrade with some webers, headers, cams +++ Colour, not sure yet, but it will be something smooth..... (my drift car was Lamborghini yellow, so something i little bit flashy. :D …

Just picked this old girl up about a week ago. She's only running a 3k with a 5 speed but it purs along and was rebuilt about 50k ago so will do for now. I bought her for a cheap run about as my other vehicle is a fj45 with a 350 and is thursty. Its pretty tidy with still original paint with only a few small rust spots. I only had it a day and a bloke pulled up at the lights next to me and asked me if i wanted to sell it! She does want new struts so if you hear of any.........

New on these forums, here's the first pic of my new project i just picked up, 1978 KE35 Coupe, engine conversion and full resto coming up, love to get some opinions and ideas on conversion.

here is my 1978 corolla ke36. have owned it for almost 2 years now. got it off a second owner who had not had it long. has only done 60,000km... have worked 5k with twim 40mm side draughts still waiting to be put in as i have almost finished putting it back together after a fresh paint job. only things i have done is lower it 2" all round and rims. here is a few pics before i sent it off to get re painted. will add more photos once i figure out how to get more on at once...??

Its probably not the done thing any more, but I still like to keep a build thread on my rides so I remember what I did to them along the journey! So introducing my latest acquistion, a very clean 1978 MX32 Cressida. I wanted to get something I could put the kids in the back of, that had power steering and aircon, and was generally going to be a comfortable family cruiser. This popped up on ebay for quite a bit of cash, and was all the way over in Albany WA. But it looked immaculate and I fell in love. Spoke with the owners and they had bought it from a car yard, who had bought it from the original owner, an old bloke who had handed in his licence. They were g…

Hey guys, very new to rollaclub and cars. I'm only a young lad and recently got myself a 1979 corolla cs. Just thought i would post my ride and see what you guys think.

Hey guys, I'll get this hit off. Recently I just discovered that my girlfriends father has a 1979 KE50 corolla sitting in his garage, he bought it brand new back in the day for $10k. He's quite attached to it and loves it to bits as it was his first car and he still has it to this day. The body is loaded with rust, the engine which I'm led to believe is a toyota 5K engine has roughly 350,000km on it, it's had a rebuild and is probably due for another one quite soon as it has just been sitting there for the last couple years and only got driven a tiny distance every few months. The interior is still original but very beaten up and weathered, we were trying to get hi…

Hey guys and gals so it seems i have found myself another rolla :) its a 1979 ke55 cs sedan which has been sitting in a hay shed for the last 12-18 months as the owners had no use for it. Its a 4 speed manual and stock as a rock right down to the factory philips tape deck, owners manuals and service manuals, even the original number plates from 1979 :) plans are pretty much tidy it up and keep it as a daily driver so far. The head is away getting machined at rhe moment as it had a blown head gasket, but here are a few photos as it was when i picked it up

So as it is known the pano has moved onto Troy, because i felt it was time i got myself a little luxury and a little more gang appeal. i have wanted a mx32 for ages so when this popped up I couldnt say no. apologies on the largish pic

its about time i did a new post on my new ke55. after a long search i have found one. its a 1980 ke55 I'm the second owner it ticked over 90,000km yesterday. the pictures will do most of the talking. it had a 5 bar grill but they look like poo so i put the ke30 one on and it looks 100 times better. the brown 30 is a thrash/parts car. blue 30 is my brothers.

So I thought I'd make this thread as a way to keep track of the stuff I'm doing with this car... The first car i've owned and worked on stock 4k-c, 3sp Auto. Only 47,000 on the clock! I'm sure it hasn't ticked over either... could've been rebuilt That front fender is the only dented panel Got it for $900. It's been sitting in a garage for the last 3-4 years. Had some minor rust here and there. Only a couple spots actually eaten through. I put a new battery in and got it going right away. since I got it i've gotten it roadworthy and it's running quite well. I've done some messy/effective rust repair, new battery, new leads/plugs, oil/filter change twice (onc…
