Does anyone know a place that sells new old stock for Toyota Specifically for the 71-75 Ke20 corolla. Looking for a right drivers side mirror. Didn't put this in Wtb because it's not like I'm looking to trade with other members (already posted a wtb)

Unmodified, original paint, original interior, original hub caps, new engine, cold air con, runs like a dream

One if these

I'm after Something like the visor in this photo. I can't find anything online about them. Maybe they don't make them new anymore. I don't know what kind of shop woild sell them. I guess wreckers?.. Second hand ones there's like 1 or 2 suiting old Holden's like hundreds of kilometres away..

I'm looking to fit it to an st141 which is basically a slightly enlarged ke 70.. Will be expecting to adapt from some other model as I'll probably have to

What are some common terms to call a windshield visor? I'm having trouble researching to buy on because whenevee I look up a thread using a keyword, they use that keyword so I don't figure out a new keyword. Ebay not responsive to windshield visor, car visor, etc. What do u call them??

3 speed auto won't shift up to 3rd gear, occasionally. Once every couple months. Oil seems fine. Happened halfway up the coast and went through half a tank of fuel getting home. Any clues?

It was just the flasher relay. Dead giveaway was that ONLY the blinkers and hazards stopped working

I think this thread will also solve the same problem for all KE70, AE71 and probably earlier models, so I felt it ok to share here. Plus i'd like to show the car to the club. these cars are surprisingly rare these days. paint seems original. doesn't seem to have any problems either. Feels like driving a gigantic KE70 with everything in the same place as a KE70. Got my hands on a 1983 toyota corona with freshly rebuilt cruisy 2L engine and 3 speed auto. runs smooth as hell and cruises well. I have a problem that about half the time, indicators and hazard lights stop working at the same time... sometimes. This seems to happen at totally unpredictable times. I flick the indicators on left / right, nothing happens. No "tick tick tick" sound and no light. When this happens, the hazard light switch has the same problem where it doesn't light up at all. Then randomly out of the blue left/right indicators and hazard lights will start working again. It's about half to a third of the time, they will stop working, and then randomly they will start working again. Anyone have a clue what the problem could be? Plans for future are just lowered kings, black gloss meshies, some quality tires and possibly spacers esp on the back depending on how the wider rims fit under the guards. no plan for more than a lovely old school reliable toyota cruiser.

Thanks. That link above didn't have any panels swapped, he just massively butchered the slant nose front to become flat, really inspired by that build thread. I'll see how I go.

Hi guys. V long time no post! Sold my old KE70 sedan years ago to travel for 3 years, now i'm back and this time I'm planning on an amazing KE70 shaggin wagon. It seems that KE70 flat front panno's have a different style of flat front to KE70 sedans. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience converting these to dual headlight? It seems that quite a few panno's have had this done to them by swapping the fenders and bonnet to flatfront KE70 sedan fenders and bonnet. Is this correct, are there any pitfalls or issues connecting this all together? Is this the only way or easiest way it's done? Quite a few Aussie panno's have this done to them. For example this build thread appears to have a slant front panno with the front fenders replaced by flat front ke70 sedan fenders, to accomadate the standard dual headlights that is common on KE70 sedans in Australia: http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/144804-84-ke70-panel-van.html EDIT: turns out the above link had its fenders and bonnet cut and welded. still interested in any advice.

Hey mate, just wondering do they come factory with the rear 2 windows blocked out? I know they do for KE70 wagons, what about ke26?

Looking to buy a chrome side mirror to fit a ke20 , I'm aware this style is on a few different models. Alternatively, has anyone cracked open one of these side mirrors and bent it back into shape? I walked into it from the rear and it's now bent in as pictured Cheers Rodney 0422408422 Brisbane 0

BY the way anyone add me on facebook if you play cartown.

Here's some photos of cars in Thailand including the ones referred to just now. I came away wanting a KE70 pretty bad. Will be a while til I get something. Any references in Thailand welcome, to shops or people selling cars etc. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150608623190239.438943.577695238&type=1&l=9811c451b9

you're the man. i will remember these links.

4 door KE20's are also the norm. Here's one at the jeepkhana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7W3oa2fKPc&feature=youtu.be

appreciate this response! will update when i start buying cars

KE70 has been sold :sob: Here's a video of a KE70 at a Thai Jeepkhana http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSd7jQRXZXA&feature=youtu.be

Ah pretty sure the ke70 is black as night, and, no, its a pup roam free. Rear guard damage? The guys angle grinded the lips off the wheel arches and bolted flares on. Is that what ur asking?

this forum is mïnt

And yeah Altezzaclub u might be right, driving round Thailand in a KE70 i own would be pretty awesome, and yeah, u have no idea how overrated the Thais keep their little old cars. I'm noticing a lot of little old european cars too

turns out the KE70's springs are chopped. And that the Authorities would care. Dunno how much, or whether they'd kill me in prison or give me a high five. Just thinking now I realised I could probably swing them a 1000baht note if they pulled me over and asked about it lol

Chiang mai. Yeah it gets better . Thais really keep their old jap cars in FREAKISHLY good nick. Completely different attitude toward technology here. I like it A LOT I'm thinking of going the KE70 on second thoughts due to awesome cosmetics and freakish A1 mechanical, altho its stock 4K. It's actually weird to find the Australian style KE70 here, most are weird DX... seen some 2 doors.. the guy whos selling it wants the money to buy a 2 door ke70 with a 4age already in it The guy with the KE26 seems like a bit of a dickhead, i have a 1968 raleigh asian-spec bicycle with drum brakes front and rear and 3 speed and he gave it a once over and pronounced it a "bomb" whilst his workers had spent like 15 minutes trying to start the KE26...

Gday Have recently initiated a move to Thailand (am there now) I have found a really rotten but straight KE26 that runs and has rego. It's fuel is coming from a bottle in the engine bay so i'm guessing a rusted out petrol tank. the engine bay is pretty rotten and its surprising that she's alive (although I'm aware corollas do that by nature). the paint is truly f*cked but the panels seem very straight. glass perfect, interior not bad. missing some exterior trim and indicators missing. I've read a little and found they sell overrated for no more than KE20's, but I've seen F.A. around so does anyone know whether they are actually worth a lot? Either in Australia or in general... Its in a wreckers in Chiangmai and the guy quotede the equivalent of a grand, but problem is I can get a KE70 for that much with rims that would be EXTREMELY expensive in Australia with a freakishly perfect stock driveline and front and rear spoiler and nice black paint, rego, for 1 or 2 grand.... so whether its cheap by Australian standards is irrelevant... as its probably more comparable to paying 4 or 5 grand if I were in Aus.. Below are pics of prospective KE26 and KE70. I love the ke70 but.. i just sold one in AUS... wanted something different.. but its... just.. so wicked cheers Rodney
