Its funny how the they worked the models out. In the KE2x's L was Luxury. In the models ranging from 1975 - 1978 L was limited and SE was the top of the line available. Then from 1978 - 1980 there was SE (the new limited), CS (the top of the line). in 1980-1981 they added XX to go even further than the CS (this was known in the later KE70's as CS-X). Now from what I know with the early KE3x's the trip meter was only available standard in the hardtops. If it was available in the sedans it was at an extra charge. Tho the manual says it was available with the KE55's as an option I've never seen it myself. To run it they would have needed an early KE3x speedo cable. As for the 1980-1981 models, the XX they came with colour coded bumpers (hardtop), passenger mirror, pockets in their doors, velour seats, 5 speed & XX rims. Everything else such as the tape deck & wrap around bumpers came standard from the CS onwards. Things like the FM radio, intermittent wipers, removalem headrests on the seats, door trims that go to the window and rear swaybar was standard all together. Aircon was still only a dealer option.

I'd say give it a go. But have the outer lights set in more than the inner. Kinda make it look like the front end of a Mustang.

I've seen this in person and it really isn't a bad looking car for a fwd :) Looking forward to be taken for a spin :P

Fixed ........................ Oh and whats with this waiting 60 seconds to reply to a second PM? If it gets locked then what? (Re: the 5 warning messages in 24 hours) Oh and when the reply finally sends the message isn't marked with a reply sent note. And tonight I was driving and the car infront spat up some rubber. I couldn't swerve and copped it in my front end, then looked into the rear view to see shards of something spraying out. Turns out it was my front plate protector. Lucky it wasn't worse but still not happy.

Its a Bird... Its a Plane... Its a C-C-C-Corolla... (One way to move a car around the yard...)

You read the whole thread? WOW that must have taken ages!

Pencil case with scissors and a lighter inside. lOl Daddy's little girl was upto no good.

WOW That looks hot dude!!

Looks great mate. Well done on the conversion. That must have been easy seeing you have a pit. I've messed around the hard way so many times with gearbox changes.

Its been done before to a square headlight model panelvan...

TA22 headlights. The KE30 ones are way too big. Give them a go. Still don't know what you'd do for a grill tho.

Nice score mate. To answer your question about the diff I'd say around $100+ from a wrecker.

haha those crazy Norwegians.

To be honest I can't part with alot of my spare parts like my overrated doors, bonnets and bumpers. Alot of people keep asking but I'm holing them incase the car gets hit or something. Have you tried Kelly's at Castledine? There is a KE35 hardtop and a KE55 hardtop there. Not sure whats left but worth a try. Haven't been there in ages.

Okay thats fine. Offer stands tho. Unless you want to go to kelly's and pay a overrated :wink:

Oh good. Cause I just junked a set of overrated liftback doors

Where are you located? Do you already have a KE55 tailshaft?

Okay REFRESH KE55 hardtop or KE55 liftback?

Alot of people suggest MX55 (I think) Cressida struts and brakes.

No the 2 door sedan door will not fit on the hardtop. The door may look the same but the glass is way different. the hardtop glass is curved while the sedan glass is flatter. If you had the balls you could try to butcher a rare 2 door sedans door by removing the frame but you still would need the hardtop's glass. Plus there is no guarantee to confirm that it will fit.

Late KE55 and all KE55 Hardtops & all KE70's.

Well obviously red means floor it for merc drivers

I was under the impression that yellow was proceed with caution.

DUDE that looks awesome!! That car is going to look so dam hot!!

Why should I. Its green. I should be able to go without fearing a hospital visit
