Damn this must be one of the best looking grill and lights for the Ke70

So first week using the car , only have had to push start it like 4 times ? Is a bitch to start when warm guessing plugs and battery is on the way out so you get about 4 attempts at starting it before it doesn't have enough juice. I forgot how this car rattles at 120, Ive been spoilt a bit lately in terms of comfort with my Nazi land barge 528i

Man racing go karts at club level is more addictive then crack so totally understandable

ʞ©$ɟkkkkkkkkkkk redneckville In saying that they do some nice conversions , maybe not aesthetically appealing to me but 1uz and 2J conversions are bonkers. This country is bonkers about the 1uz similar to Aus about 10 years ago with Sr20 it went into literally every project car.

Negative, they have all been rust buckets except for this one. which poped up on Friday and was officially mine by Saturday morning. Plans - Strip and drift, how do i get more power from a 4k to drift ?

some more info 280k's on the chassis T50 due to South Africa's average Freeway speed is 120km/h Cost R26000 - $2600

you'll be back

So currently residing in my home country of South Africa for a while. Of course my current demographic area will change the options of classic cars compared to Aus. But Corollas , this place has plenty ! The great thing about finding/hunting for classic cars in this country is that we have large cities inland very far from the sea's salty breeze and humidity. That is where this story beginnings in a city called Pietermaritzburg. I posted an ad on our local Gumtree looking for Corollas,Datsuns,Cressidas and boy was i offered some nice stuff, 1200Gx, Mx32's, and many many Ke70/71s but one stood out, A Red Ke70 , 1 owner from new , and paper work and I mean ALL the paperwork. The documents from day one , the fuel he filled up on day one to drive it home 100km's away and he filled up again to check fuel consumption. All the service receipts. I was shocked! He then informed me of his occupation, being document control in a local hospital which made more sense as to why everything was documented and filed neatly. This is her

Ahhhhh whats going on here Is this swap done ?

Havent updated this in a while. Slowly but surely getting stuff done!

Damn those wheels look good How much were the wheels restorations?

My E30 325IS has 154k's on her and is in quite clean condition. Currently my daily but will change to weekender when my Wagon is finished.

Aint putting it on the BM

Does anyone have info on the max weight rating for the roof gutters on a ke70 ?

Yes I am. I have left around the windows unpainted because they are going black.

Nearly all done.

Jay heres the 1uz kit I was talking about if you do want to go v8 route. http://www.ae86drivi...-conversion-kit What the 1uz comes out Soarer or Celsior would be your best choice, as you can pick them up for cheap (defected or non runner) 1989–2000 Lexus LS 400/Toyota Celsior 1990–2002 Toyota Crown/Toyota Crown Majesta 1991–2000 Lexus SC 400/Toyota Soarer 1992–2000 Lexus GS 400/Toyota Aristo

I have had Ku31 and have raced on them and i thought the bang for buck on them was great. I think the smallest they come in is a 185/55/14 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251345011342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Finally had a day to myself to carry on working on my Ke70. Slowly but surely getting there.

These were so common in South Africa and since I've moved here hardly see them, I do love them tho! That blue one looks so good!!

Finger is all closed up and fixed ! Got some roof racks today and was just playing with paint mixtures to see whats the best for a basecoat.

Getting a friend to paint it for me when he's avaliable, then finding a appropriate place to do it while hes free , then hiring a tralior to get it the car there> Just a headache , trust me i tried.

Its crude and cheap , but you can get quite a decent finish if you learn the right technique. My celica
