Ok just to prove this project hasn't gone under ive got the front and rear windscreens in (although rear isn't in in the pic). Have started work on the engine. New water-pump and thermostat housing fitted. Now ive started work on the battery relocation to the rear. Ive got 4 meters of 2 B&S 32mm 255amp cable. Thing is though not sure what I'm going to do with some of these wires hanging off the side of the cable. Was thinking of some sort of terminal block or junction box to just save me the hassle and merge the existing cables together instead of removing old positive cable... And also as the engine is from a KE70 the Bosch alternator has an internal regulator instead of an external one that the car had originally... so not sure what to do with that.

nah Taz, AUS built ke20s by AMI had girlocks.... most likely you got AUS spec discs, you need Jap spec discs, try ask for ke25 discs as all KE25s were made in Japan so most defiantly will have a different part number. but I think KE25 discs are NLA, well that was for PBR but try other brands....

Yea when I had the car luke I was like wtf man electrical is screwed, never bothered to fix it lol. funny it was something simple...

Couple of KE25s and TE27s

Auto ones are always the overrated ones hehehe! Great score man! If I get a KE35 I want it exactly like that :laff:

I'm keen to buy it once they have finished with it... that said prob will be totaled in true top gear style lol

funny thing is they have been crushing rollas probably more then any other car since 1967 hahahahahaha When people say Corolla people think bucket of shit or bland car lol

lol am I the only one that feels sad for this KE25 lol, ok a ke30 or KE70, plenty of them but a KE25...

most likely its the old lady that drives a KE25 in that area... sadly wont sell :P

Thats Ryan, SLO-030 and Mick, Raven's old KE25!!! wonder what happened to it, son of stig u would know?

Thanks for the info KE20rollabus! Heres some pics that may help. Could you please point out exactly what you have described from these pics...

Yea took out my original one and took it in. It was white with small dots all over it but I wasn't fussy to get the same pattern, just got that plain black motorbike seat texture vinyl. I'm sure most high end trimmers may have a pattern book, this guy was a professional but just had a million rolls of fabric and showed me some nice textures... He unpicked/cut up the old one so got it back in pieces but all good...

Just got mine done for my KE25, very similar to KE20, cost me 200 for an exact copy in black vinyl. That didn't include installation as I'm installing it myself. Ill post pics when its in...

Mechanical stuff is to my knowledge still available for early 70s Toyotas late 60s, through Toyota Australia. For other parts, certain stuff can still be had from Toyota Japan to my knowledge. Even NOS panels. But just would like a contact that can help...

Hey guys Looking to find a Toyota dealer who has someone working at the spare parts desk that won't give me the over 10 years it's too old treatment. I know very well Toyota still stock old mechanical parts and any old car parts can be had from Toyota Japan. Would like to know if anyone knows a good spare parts dealer to deal with or works there. Thanks Tally

Thanks Parrot! its getting there, got flywheel, clutch, gearbox and tail shaft in. New roof lining in halfway as well. Interior is back in as well...

And I just broke the thrust bearing carrier while removing the bearing, so gearbox is a no no tonight arghh. Anyone in Adelaide got one SMS me on 0421758655.

don't sell this man, it will be a cool daily and your KE25 can be your weekender like you said. Just pull through, from the pics doesn't look too bad body wise, maybe just rust treat the rust areas, do a bit of welding and maybe just add some bog to smooth out the dents, and just do a quick sand of the paint and do a neat paint job man.... But I understand it aint that simple lol Also use a flipper/slap stick and a dolly to get dents out, works a treat!

Ok so looks like this thing will see the road next week guys.. Have put doors back together and started cleaning up and painting bits and pieces... Just need to figure out how I'm going to wire up my elec dizzy, been told its only two or three wires but not sure really... some pics: Also need to figure out wiring for starter motor and alternator... Roof lining will be done by Tuesday so windows will go in same day, do I need to use a sealer on with the windscreen rubbers? Pick up clutch kit Thursday. Also got some JDM calipers and vented rotors for this from Touge Boy. So need to get: Battery Battery Box Battery lead Oil Coolant Spark plugs - BPY5EY if I remember correctly lol, bought so many lol Water pump - KE70 Steering gear oil - What should I get? Heard Penrite gear oil is good? Gearbox oil Air filter An exhaust system Sway bar bushes and sway bar D bushes Brake master cylinder. thinking Datsun 240K one... so not a long list of stuff to get which is good

I'll be there in the KE25 if all goes to plan :wink:

eat, sleep, rollaclub lmao. nah when I'm not on the computer actually doing work lol I'm either in the shed working on the corolla or driving around looking for old Mazdas and Toyotas... Do a bit of drawing, photography and photoshop as well...

Yea this week man I promise, it's looking like a car again lol....

Update. Got some JDM calipers and vented rotors for this from Touge Boy. Should be more then enough to stop the car well. Cleaned up my K50 gearbox today, came up nice and clean. Hopefully get roof lining sorted this week, really only thing holding me back. Got number to an auto trimmer so see what he can do for me... So yea should make some good progress next two weeks, keep eyes on this thread... Tally
