well done so far :y: :y: :y: :y: keep it up ............ i'm watching

oh thank you so much bro...... very helpful as always....... :y: :y: :y: :y:

Help me guys..... when i update my topic it just adds my edit below the old page.... the page doesn't break, it just adds more and more below and it's very annoying there are lots of pics out there and the last page loads about 20 - 30 secs..... the scroll bar is now very tiny and the page scrolls down a mile....... here's the page, http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/61113-1975-ke20-1200-hi-deluxe-restoration/page__st__120

thought to restore the RT81 steering that i bought...... it was badly damaged due to idiotic removal try from the idiot who tried to remove it. here's how it was when i bought it yes i figured it out at last........ just press it down and turn the ring was also bent badly........ so i removed the steering and fortunately the column switch was safe........ and it works as better as a new one........ i love the sound of it when it ticks.... tocks i love that feeling, a fresh switch :rolls: then the big challenge => how to round it up again????????? simple solution => :hammer: hammered and hammered and hammered :finger: and then the cracked face plate , solution => that bad shit called "araldite" .......... it really hardened rock hard :evil: and the result it really gives a sporty feeling to my little twenny sometimes => what????????????? a TE27 in sri lanka????????????? (i've never seen one in SL) only thing i don't like is the leather of the ring i slippery :doh: any idea to make it feel comfortable to hands , but not by adding a cover.... any idea guys??????? anyway enjoy guys..........

cool project maaaannnnnnn................. love it

:y: :y: :y: :y: :y:

ok thank you very much guys...... :y: :y: :y: need to fine tune my carb to maximum fuel efficiency........

Does anyone knows where the "main jet" , "air jet" and "idle jet" in separate positions????? thanks.

snow white....... lovely wheels :2thumbs:

hi guys, does anyone have or know where to find this badge which comes on the boot lid?????

cute little car....... looks coooooooooooooool, keep it up need more resto pics :y:

woah...... super works man..... keep it up keep us updated

Hi guys, after a long time.... this time up with my bro in law's car...... it's a toyota sprinter Hi-Deluxe , bare metal restoration completed in about 9 months, enjoy some pics and a shitty pic of two brothers lol enjoy guys....... :thumbsup: and oh i forgot something................ "Wish you all a happy new 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" keep revving yo beauties :D

hey mate, from where did you bought that electronic conversion kit??? is it hotspark ignition system??? i'm also finding one to my 3k dizzy... is there a specific part number to ask when i'm asking to buy or is it compatible to every dizzy?? thanks :y:

oh thanks parrot...... lets get the job done.... :rocknroll:

aha thanks mate.... this is very helpful.... :2thumbs: really appreciate it :yes: is there any way to repair the rear window defroster ?? i mean the the heating lines on the windshield ??? my ones are damaged and does not conduct electricity through the lines... it is the only thing that doesn't work on my car except the A/C.. i need to find a compressor or i have an idea to couple an electric a/c compressor to it.. but still no time to do it..

ah thanks for sharing so much information with me.... according to all these specs, it looks like that i'm having a 3k-D engine with higher compression ratio than other 3k engines (10:1) and more power at higher rpm(73ps @ 6600rpm) . but i need to find out what is the difference between 3k-D and 3k-H and at last i found the workshop/repair manual for the 3k engine :wootjump:

ah now thats the difference........ but there is a unit in my engine bay which has two hoses, one goes to carb and the other one goes to the intake i searched about it and found that it is called "Toyota charcoal canister" ... and google says that it prevents the harmful fumes that emits from the carb and the intake manifold. this pic was taken while i was getting know what the hell it is.... :wave: ha ha now the connections are all right :yes: i have recently bought a good set of genuine japan made plug wires and a distributor cup. because my original plug wires which came with the car is already cracked and leaking everywhere.... in the dark i can see a lot of fireworks in the engine bay :eatlead: now the only thing remaining is to regrind the valves.... still haven't got time.... btw i forgot to tell you that my brother in law also bought a ke20. and this time it is a Sprinter now it's in the last stages of the restoration... i'll throw up some pics of it after it's all done.. :yes: and hers is my engine bay

oh my god....... just wow...... what a car you have...... what a beauty.... your fog lights are original factory fitted ones wow first time i have ever seen them with the corolla logo.. that electronic point system is very useful because there is no contact points to tear or wear.... from where did you find that?? i have searched many times to find a suitable one for my one... but still more expensive and all are to be imported.... here is where i searched them http://www.hot-spark.com/ is it possible to find them here in local auto parts shops??? i don't think so.... anyway as you said the biggest challenge is to save the emblems from these f*cking thieves....... i hate drilling holes and riveting the badges onto the body... because these badges are very soft and likely to crack and damage very quickly.... i removed all my badges and repaired them by covering the holes with multibond steel epoxy/araldite and now all the badges are held with double sided tape.... thats why i always stay in the car when i park her in the streets and never leave her alone in the town..... have a look at the previous pages of my restoration. i have made some clones/replicas of my emblems using lead (Pb) btw my car is not in that catalogs, i think these catalogs are of early modal's here is the face of mine btw what is the difference between your 3k-U engine and my 3K engine???? and how about your fuel consumption/economy of your 50 and 20??? my 3K having a valve miss fire..... burnt exhaust valve giving me really bad mileage compared to other 20s , now it do about 13-14 km/l should remove the head and regrind the valves and maybe it should refresh the valve seats.

oh thanks mate...... but the cluster is very expensive.... even if i get it, the wiring harness may should be altered your car looks very clean..... and i love it check this out and it has most of the corolla brochures you'll definitely love it http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/family_tree/index.html

hi mate, nice to here about your car and it's very interesting to hear..... looks like you have the rarest ke20 in your hand... i like to see your car very much... please add pics here or start a thread :yes: but what do you mean by full upholstery?? my one does have the original full head lining. it is still in well and during the restoration we managed to remove and re fit it easily without tearing it..... the painter said that "see the quality of Japanese materiel". After 38 years it's still can be stretched and re aligned. if it is aftermarket sure it would be teared into pieces when trying to stretch it out. other than that i cannot see a major difference between half and full upholstery.. only the head lining is the difference. my one does't have an intermittent selection wiper control switch. only two speed. :nervous: i need to find the owners manual and workshop manual. i tried but there's no ebooks or anything related. so if you can make an ebook of your manual, please share it with me. it would be a great help. please don't forget to share some pics of your car. :yes:

hi mate, nice to hear a lot about these classic's various versions. :yes: i agree with you and as i know there are lot of versions in corolla series. but my one is not a Deluxe version because, as i know the followings are some 1 Hi-Deluxe got chrome trim on the boot lid chrome trim around tail light surrounds (but below one is a 1400 hideluxe,mine is 1200) 2. Hi-deluxe got chrome trim around door frames while not came with deluxe modals. sorry for crappy images :nervous: 3. Hi-Deluxe emblems on fenders below one is the deluxe emblem 4. Hi deluxe emblem on boot lid 5. Rear windshield defroster (As i know it only came with Hideluxe versions and TE27 levin/tureno and upward modals) 6. Wood grain dash and plastic covered ash tray and under dash panel below one is an interior of a deluxe 7. Hi deluxe got three spoke steering wheel while deluxe only got two spoke 8. Full center console in hideluxe while half sized in deluxe (Hideluxe with toyoglide came with the half size) below is the half sized one but this image is from a one from that 1400 hideluxe modal and it has a A/T toyoglide 9. Three way long parking function integrated hazard switch only came with hideluxe modals and TE series and as you said and as i know that three meter dash is only came with Ke25(aka mango) , Te27 and later modals also the three small meters that are in the heater control panel came with the above modals, and neither with ke20 deluxe and hideluxe s. here's a pic and that what i know about them, and hey mate, i found this electronic digital tacho from ebay just for $18 .. thats so cool and i bought it :2thumbs: i'd like to see you car also. so please start a thread in rides...... anyway thanks for the motivation and mostly for being a classic car lover, because most of youngsters from late 90s and after that era doesn't have a value of these classic beauties..... ha ha ha enjoy :hail:

hey guys....... at last found the original steering column for it..... love the three spoke steering.......

oh thanks but i'd like to keep it as how it should.... is that a "toyota charcoal canister" ??? could you please tell me how all of them connects..???

hi guys !!!!! need help again...... there is something in my ke20 engine bay which i don't know what it is...... here's where should that two hoses connect?? is that "To carb" hose connect in here???? and also there is another hose coming out from the base of the carby..... but i don't know where it connects.... help me please guys....... still i'm getting really bad gas mileage...... may be this is the case...... thanks...
