Tally

My pics are now up Tally's All Japan Day Pic's

Straight bolt in with KE2# top hats. As I'm using standard LCA's, no need to change tie rods. When I do go longer LCA's in the future then yea would prob change tie rods to longer ones which isnt a problem. yea I went AE86 struts as basically very similar to TE27 I think and also the fact that so much shock, brake and spring options/uprgades are available.

Looking fantastic mate, looks so at home with all those mazdas lol... convo pros look wild. What colour you going?

You can buy new repo ones off eBay Ryan, not genuine but they are new and better then old crusty, faded items... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-KE20...=item518fa15717 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-COROLLA-KE20...=item1c0ddc85ac

this is on 2moro people

thanks mate, once it gets painted, thats when the awsomeness will come out LOL Yea mate, well said, wont be too long, not expacting a show car job but it will be a million times better then it was lol.... not fussed about a ke20 door, if i can't find a 25 one ill just unpick the window frame and weld my one in, mainly need a new door as mine has a fair bit of rust which is unusual because the rest of the car only had surface rust... stay tuned over next couple weeks.

haha I knew someone would say something. Thats just some old lockers my dad and his brothers designed in the early days when they used to play in bands.

Thanks man Ive removed battery tray and plate, battery will be in boot.... making as much room possible in the engine bay for said engine conversion. Undecided at the moment on choice of internal combustion engine. so many have potential :P

Hey Guys As I'm not making AJD I thought I might as-well put up a thread :P Have been a bit absent from the scene last year or so, sold my KE70 mid 09, bought a T18, sold that, bought a 5K KE70, swapped that for nickyboys KE30, sold that to greenmac80 and now driving a 95 Hiace haha. So quick summary of the history of my KE25: Basically it was a Adelaide Hills car, from Inglewood/Paracombe. Found by Mattie and Chris while doing a hills run. Old guy had it sitting out front for sale. This was start of 2007. I bought it mid 07. Car had been off the road for (now) 19 years. Here is a link to my old thread when I first got it: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=14164 Anyways that's all in the past, 2 years on and after being Patient and saving money and buying/collecting bits and pieces I finally found the time to fix it up properly. Told dad get your Karmen Ghia out the shed. He was more then happy to re-live his days of fixing cars, HQ Monaro's, VW's, RT140 Coronas (he bought and sold) and RA28 Celica's etc etc. So basically got it in the shed, stripped the front end as that needed the most attention. Dad got me sanding so I had started sanding the car down. This made me become familiar with the car and find all the spots that needed attention. Had been in a previous accident (looks like kangaroo) and the front passenger radiator support was mangled. It had been repaired but very poorly done. So we got it as best as we could, thanks to ke30dude for the replacement panel off his KE20, was a bit different but everything lines up so can't complain. After we had done that. I cleaned it all up as best as I could, grinded back the welds, put couple skims of bog in the engine bay, removed battery tray, did a lot of panel beating, shaped everything best I could. Then prepped engine bay and sprayed some Hi-fill primer to fill in all the slight low spots etc Dad found me some body deadner he used to use, in the shed, tested it and it was still good so did inside the front wheel wells. Looks a lot better. Then after some minor repairs and rust treatment on the body we got it looking pretty straight. After the hard work of sanding and feathering in all the bear metal patches we got the compressor and hit it with its first stage of Hi-fill primer and guide coat. Then blocked it back sometime later and hit it with another coat of fresh Hi-fill primer and guide coat yesterday night. So this is what I am up to at the moment. At this rate ill have it painted in the next month or so. We have started repairing my front apron, guards and bonnet, all of which have minimal rust :( and are pretty straight already... must have been replaced at some stage in the 80s lol ok so here are my plans: Make/Model: 1974 Toyota KE25 Corolla 1200 Coupe Deluxe Exterior: Will be painting an original colour (none of this fancy crap), undecided but might paint same colour or white. Need paint code as I'm not sure if this is D3??? It looks a lot more yellowy and D3 looks more darker JDM Fender Mirrors 14" SSR MK2s with gold centers are the wheels I'm going to get for it Engine: Will be doing an engine conversion later on down the track (one thing at a time) For time being have a 4K with K50 for cruising Brakes and Suspension: ADM AE86 Struts and Brakes with yet to be decided brake master cylinder upgrade Will work out aftermarket springs and shocks later on Have Brand New PS Arms All new utherane bushes thanks to Pedders prospect! Top guys! All new idler arm, pitman arm, tie rods and ball-joints Fully powder coated LCA's, swaybar, x-member, castor rods, sump guard etc etc Also will upgrade my leaf springs to match the front upgrade Interior: Completely original apart from Nardi steering wheel and JDM Tacho Dash Cluster so there you have it. ;) any input would be great :blush: Want to give a big THANKS to the following people: SLO-030, greenmac80, ke30dude, RA28 Mustang, sliesh, madmax7, Ae71Rola, 13BT_KE20, and Dave at AJPS for helping me with parts so far :blinks:
