So the winds of life have changed and i'm selling EVERYTHING except the 4 door.. might sell that too :(. Going to be putting up a sales thread in the next few days so keep your eyes peeled, or pm me if you need something urgently before then. cheers

Better late then never :P

Sigh... The rear left corner is packed with enough parts to build a car. Still waiting on that ute haha. Sorry once again if pic is sideways - iPhone. Till next time.

Haha it is a disease isn't it? I just realized i've owned 10 cars and 5 of those are corollas, 4 ke30's and an ae71. Also a TA22 celica if that counts? Haha. :P definately man. I think she lets me as any little thing done is a step closer to her getting the garage and yard back lol.

You know you have a good missus when .... Lol Just trying to find little bits and pieces to pass time while I wait to get my shed to an accessible level.

Hmm I know this thread has been long in a coma, curious how this turned out?

Haha that's laziness! I want to finish the 4 door in the shed but you literally cannot even get in there because all the car parts. Waiting on brother in laws ute so i can clear my other shed and use that as corolla parts storage! Happy new year mate!

Hey all, Not much happening. Stripped the white Ke30 and clapped out come and cut the rear off as a spare. Garage is too full to move so haven't done anything at the moment. Few photos because everyone loves photos. Sorry if they're sideways, uploading from iPhone. Cheers!

Yeah just time and money, pretty much working 7 days a week at the moment but the payroll won't be for like another month, ah government lol

Finally bought a new ballast resistor from Repco for $12 and after 1 minute of changing it out, it ran fine straight away. Thank's for the advice. Now i need to finish off the body work and paint, seats (they're torn but I might just throw seat covers on, does anyone know if this will suffice for a roady in QLD??), exhaust mounts, maybe new bushes and clean the engine/tune and tidy up and i should be done. Then on to the mighty 2 door. I am not as motivated on the old 4 door now as I want to get stuck into the 2 door!

Thanks to Matty (clapped out) who is an absoloute legend, we made a swap and I now have thess for the the 2TG which saved me a LOT of heartache trying to find a set for a decnt price. Just waiting for the manifold to arrive in the mail! Sorry for the sideways image, posting off my phone.

Very nice. I always thought the KE50's were strange looking, but now I love them. Congratulations on the good buy!

I see a white 4 door ke30 most afternoon's in strathpine, looks pretty clean. Normally around 3:30pm maybe? Never check the time.

Sure did japlish were they yours haha

Verdey feel free to follow, it's going to be a long road! Bruce - that's what I thought when I saw the cars originally. I will have to get it blue plated again as the VIN numbers will be different but I shouldn't have any issues.

Sorry the engine featured which comes with the box is a 3k, but I'm keeping the head.

Thanks heaps I will look into it tonight! It has annoyed me to no end! And yeah, so many KE30's, the misses is thrilled! :P

I thought it was about time I posted SOMETHING about my cars on here. I have a 1977 4 door KE30, a 1974 (?) 2 door KE30, and another 4 door KE30 for parts, I think from memory it's a '77, plus I have a stock pile of 4k engine parts and interior parts which I will be putting on here after I have what I need for my builds. The original plan was for the yellow 4 door to be my project car as I had one years ago with a 2TG conversion which I stupidly sold, and needed something to fill my void! But came across the 2 door and the white 4 door plus all parts. I will post some pictures (by some I mean lots) and write my plans along the way. This will eventually be a build thread when I have the time/funds to commit and knuckle down with my projects, but until then just showing what I have got. The white KE30's drive line will be transplanted into my 2 door, after i source carbi's/rebuild kit etc (manifold is on it's way). It's a 2TGEU but I'm going to stick with the carb as it's as far as my mechanical ability allows! This is the first car the day I picked it up around 2 and a half years ago. It had run out of rego a few days before I bought it. It looked pretty straight. This is how she stands today. I have only recently began stripping bits and bobs for a respray. Again, time is limited along with money! The plan with this 4 door is to do it cheap enough for a roady and use it as a daily to get rid of my fuel loving VY SS Commonwhore. Currently trying to work out the ignition issue where it will run but only when you hold the key between on and start. I have 3 different ignition switches I have tried and 2 different barrels. Surely they're not all bad? Seats if anyone is interested? Very rough I picked up the following: Too many parts This is what I wanted it for! Can do my 2 door conversion 4k if anyone wants it, comes with the box. Could be a 3k I'm unsure. And that's that. I have interior and engine parts coming out the ears.. will keep the thread posted when I manage to get any progress... The 2TG out of my first corolla which was a 1979 KE55
