Hi Luca,

                Welcome aboard !  Congratulations on your KE30 acquisition.  

1.  Assuming it has a K series engine in it, the engine model number & serial number, are stamped into the engine block, on a flat, just behind & below the  distributor.

2.  The K Series engines all have a timing/camshaft chain; at the front of the engine, under the cover behind the crankshaft pulley.

If you'd like to lift the hood/bonnet, & take a photo of the engine bay, then we can identify it more easily.

It looks in pretty good condition, & you are lucky, it has been "garage stored", for the last 14-15 years.

Are you planning on getting it going, & roadworthy, yourself; or have others do it for you ?

I can detect a little "common" rust, right at the bottom of the passengers front door.

The first thing, you are probably going to need, is four (4) new tyres, as I doubt, that the existing ones; lying flat for 14-15 years on a concrete floor, are going to hold air.

Come back to use with as many pictures that You can create, especially, under the bonnet; & we'll try to assist you.

Where about in the world are you located; & are olde Corollas common there ?

Cheers  Banjo

Hi and thanks for the answer...i m in Rome , Italy, and trust me It Is the First time in my 40 years old life that i ve seen this kind of Corolla! It Is in good condition, i m Happy that has chain and not a belt, so i can try tò start It before the restoration. I do the works by myself, hopefully!!! Tomorrow i LL go there to see if the engine Is not blocked, if It Is ok i LL buy It. Thanks from the advice. Tomorrow you Will have other pictures ehehe....and you where are you from?
