KP61 have same balljoints as KE2# TE2#

they are central auto and manual crossmemebers same

yea AE86 stuff of course, but not K series stuff lol, all of it is NLA 20 years ago....

I doubt that, the book is over 30 years old lol ive got a few screens of the tosco manual on my comp at home, ill post them up when I can

looks like you got a lot of work ahead of you :blinks:

Hi Guys My starlet got defected for rust. Now id like some recommendations on some places to go to... The rust is in the drivers side roof gutter channel and spans the whole length of the car. Pretty big job, tried to do it myself but too big a job for me. Basically ive already stripped the car, and already grinded back/wire wheeled and strip it disc'd the areas to be repaired... Basically worst rust is entire drivers side roof gutter, along the drivers side A piller where the right side of the front windscreen sits, panel behind the hatch at the top where the roof meets the hatch, couple bubbles near fuel filler cap (nothing major) and three spots along the edge of the roof above the front windscreen. Just needs some new metal folded up nicely and welded in correctly. Tried to weld but my welder is freaking shit and is 20 years old, to much splatter. Found it hard finding someone who I can trust to do a good job, it is a very intricate job being a roof gutter, and the risks of the roof going wavy but someone who knows what they are doing will be able to do it no worries. I have found crash repairers don't wont to touch this sort of work anymore, pathetic really, so I have found its a job more suited to today's restorers , metal fabrication experts... Any recommendations on places to go please let me know, need it back on the road asap. Thanks Tally

Don't like the lip myself, correct te27 one would look good though. Ae86 struts way to go man, nearly identical to te27 struts so won't have many issues

u pull it

rotors are different between akebono and sumitomo calipers...

most places seem to be able to find ke20 stuff easier then KE25 stuff, however ke20 stuff not always the same as ke25

don't paint the front end trim all black, makes it look tacky, paint it the factory grey/silver

looks great man good work!

About 20 years ago my dad had two of these sitting in our backyard, someone broke in and stole then, one was white and the other was red, wish we still had them. Still got a front grill off one and a front chrome trim and indicator lense. Awesome looking coupe and very rare. There was a red one for sale in Adelaide few months back that needed restoration...

lol 4k in ae71

why would you want to do that?

Plain and simple answer is: NO! lol They wont fit, although similar in design, still totally different shape and wont bolt in, would need fabrication of the tail-light section on your ke20, plus would look wack

Hi Guys, I have a storage unit with enough room for two more cars. It is undercover, double locked roller door and has a secure gate that can only be opened with a passkey. Price is $35 a week per car, 2 minutes from city. PM Thanks Tally

Youve got your work cut out for you thats for sure... Good to see your saving another KE25 :)

Looks a million bucks man! Gotta be happy with that! Hard work has payed off!

May have something, how long you need it for?

car looks good man, although I just can't stand the miss-matched front end :bash:

You can't compare r100s or rx2s rx3s rx4s to early corollas. For example Mazda only made 90,000 r100s worldwide compared to approx 500,000 KE1#'s worldwide Toyota made shitloads of KE1# KE2# and don't get started on KE3#s. You couldnt even compare the corollas to the piston powered Mazda's such as the 1200, 1300, 808 929 etc, Toyota was much more experienced in building cars by the late 60s early 70s then Mazda, as Toyota has a longer history then Mazda at building cars, hence the build quality in my eyes was better by Toyota. Corollas don't fetch much (here anyway, japan another story as they got the TE models) because we got the base grade models, same as the Mazda's, but the rotary is what made the Mazda's popular and now valuable.

its in Japan mate

who can tell me where this car ended up. I know but I'm not telling :P :yes: :no2: :wink:

Spotted a unmolested ORIGINAL 74' KE25 this afternoon in western suburbs. Driven by an older guy, looked in his 30s... did a u bolt as quick as I could but missed him and couldn't work out which direction he went. Hubcaps and all, canary yellow in colour, never seen the car before, if I see it again I'm buying it lol
