Tally

because really corollas were marketed towards ladies... were not really considered desirable at all... but as they are now considered an old car and hard to find things are changing and we now have corolla community's such as rollaclub... these cars were shopping trolleys hahaha and the stigma that is attached to the name corolla doesn't help either but the model corolla that will appreciate in value the most in Oz will be the first generation KE1# series

congrats on the buy man! Love KE25s, looks like this one went to a good home.... Good base to start with too!

And car is out exposed to the elements for first time in a while... Will be fish oiling and sealing areas prone to rust. Needs wheels and low badly lol

Ahh fair enough man, will let you know, thanks man

Got rear window in earlier today, wasn't easy I can tell you that. It's getting kicked out the shed in the morning so will get it rolling and take a few new pictures...

Ok I'm assuming what your saying is build it to TE27 JDM spec Either Sprinter Trueno or Levin Levin being the easier of the two as guards, bonnet, apron, grill, corner garnishes and taillights are same as normal 73/74 KE25 Sprinter Trueno: (wing and front spoiler not stock) Levin: With regards to differences between normal KE25 and TE27 Levin: Exterior: Badges Flares Fender Mirrors Engine/Gearbox: 2TG Engine T50 Gearbox Cross-member Clutch master cylinder Suspension/Rear Differential: Struts Brakes t series diff Interior: Tacho dash Gauge cluster Interior vinyl trim Pedal box Steering Wheel Center Console Thats the main stuff without going into detail...

not as far as I know, if its really bad, tracking down a good condition KE20 spare wheel well shouldn't be that hard and are identical, so just unpick old one, and weld n new one...

Main stuff need to put rear window in which is proving to be a pain get exhaust welded up with flange to manifold and just a few minor things.... car still hasn't been rubbed back and buffed....

Thanks man appreciate the tip, will need to get some as mine are screwed lol

Using AE86 powersteering arms with a balljoint adapter from techno toy tuning so it fits snug over the stock KE25 balljoint. KE25 have narrower strut bolt spacing, used KE25 top hat and ae86 struts bolt in.

Couple of pics of the car at the moment and a pic of my new exhaust lol nothing special just 1.75" all way through Front end is looking like this, waiting to replace front hub bearings. Tried to see if KE25 4X110 hubs would fit AE86 strut stub axle, very very close to fitting but few mm difference in rotor bolt pattern, hub length and bearing size...

OMG I so thought it was you that bought that NOS KE25 grill of ebay!!!! You out bid me by $2.50 lol!!! ahh well hehehe good that it went to a fellow rollaclub member though :D

very clean man! Love the colour and the strips along the side of the car! Any info on the stripes? Wouldn't mind getting some for my car. Also love the exhaust, true rotor styles hahaha

anyone spotted any corollas at wreckers?

man they do look good. Look a lot better in design then a few ive seen. so are they bare metal? Any chance of better pics man?

Didn't I tell you guys i chucked a v8 in the Corolla? ;) yep got it started! I'm happy, gives you that peace of mind know what I mean.

thanks guys yea, turns out I didn't have it in right, was firing on the intake stroke. Have since fixed it but yet to start it as battery is dead -_-

Its a Toyota Sprinter, pretty sure chassis code is still KE20 though as they technically are still a Corolla lol Megat the poster of the pics is the one that found it, he said its too far gone to save, they are rare over there let alone japan so yea... but would be cool for a front end conversion for a aus spec KE2#, just need the bonnet, guards, front apron and grill and your set...

ok so been busy lately connecting engine bay up. Did battery in boot conversion, solved my alternator woes, connected up all wires in engine bay, routed hearer hoses etc etc etc So chucked battery in and away we went trying to start it. Didn't start... leads seem to be correct, aligned dizzy with 1# TDC so not sure whats going on, still might not be right? stuff coming out the carby indicates leads wrong way around? Ive put them 1-3-4-2 just like the book says... inside of carby is covered in what seems to be black oil/water not sure... Check this video to see what I mean:

Well for one thing you got the wagon and that's a mini project on it's own... In most cases why people sell the car they initially wanted to build is distractions with other cars. The wagon will never be as cool and unique as your ke25 and won't have that personal value man.

Just missed out on a brand new KE25 grill and corner garnishes for this, so pissed off lol ah well, were good price too...

Inside passenger rear quarter there was a good solid point.

Yea nah I've removed it, problem sorted anyway, bad earth lol, always the case isn't it! Just have to sort out a few minor issues...

ok lets get this straight, KE2#s with sumitomo calipers are jap built right and cars with akabono calipers are AMI built and both have different rotors...

ok so wont start, not getting any power... here is the deal... have wired engine up like following: standard liquid cell battery in boot 2 B&S 32mm 255amp cable for both positive and negative battery leads... positive straight to starter motor and negative to earth Wire from B+ on alternator to starter motor wire from D on alternator to i think white/black on old alternator connector on loom joined yellow/white and white/green on regulator loom... these cars are so small to work on from underneath, especially when laying on the ground... need a hoist lol will get pics in the morning, hopefully get it sorted with a fresh mind....
