Had another person look at it this evening. Might get sold before the ebay sale finishes... Anyways here are some shots I took for a new sponsor! (Well kinda sponsor!) [plug]Any one with an early Corolla or Celica should speak with Dave at A J P S - Cusco strut braces and camber tops are excellent things :lolcry:[/plug]

Evan are you the bloke selling a KE30 on ebay presently? Anyways I know you were after a KE35 - there is a one owner one for sale on my car club's website. www.tccav.org.au/forwant Check it out, looks like a great project.

Love your interior - magic!

I would imagine your state motoring authority would be able to tell you which clubs participate in its scheme. There is a list on the Victorian website - so SA shouldn't be too far behind? Just had a look and the SA government website is hard work huh! Anyways here is a list of historic clubs I found by googling south australia historic registration: http://www.fhmcsa.org.au/ourmembers.htm

If its not black do you want it anyways? Can of black vinyl spray will quickly have it the right colour...

Didn't make it to have a look unfortunately. Will let you know when I go.

The clean KE35 mentioned from Centre Rd Wreckers had a console around the gearstick I think. I guess it was probably brown though. I am planning on going there on the weekend for some bits for my Charade, so I will check it again.

There is a guy on toymods selling MS55 parts if you need any. He is in Perth is the only challenge!

And that will cost how much?! You have insurance for a reason mate, let them chase it for you. Talk to them about buying back the wreck.

That legal document will bite you on the arse when he stops paying after two weeks. Don't do it mate.

Looks great! I kept thinking of going in and asking about it, but I resisted. I have too many cars hehe

This was at Peter Robinsons yeah?

Felix makes a good point. The bitsa approach to suspension mods.. Massively heavy falcon springs.. sway bars from other cars.. all adds up to a car that might be less predictable. Not sure how far you had got with those mods though, so it could have been all the stocker stuff!

Sorry to hear about the car Evan. Glad you are OK though.

Cusco item in my race car are excellent. Haven't had them in for long enough to make comments about wear, but they are very well manufactured. If anyone needs to know a source and the part number to suit KE3*/KE55 PM me and I can give you all the details.

Went to Centre Rd Wreckers for some research for my next project today, and visited the Toyota section out of interest. There are some good things there at the moment. *Very straight yellow KE35 (aside from the ding that put it in there in the first place!) Has very good white interior, all door trims were perfect, drivers seat had a couple of seam tears. Brown dash top/surround with no obvious cracks. 4 speed. good condition early style grille. Good condition front and rear chrome bumpers. Driver's side at least had the roof gutter "chrome" too, but its plastic and was effectively see through and no longer chrome. *AE71 wagon - surprised this was in there. Interior has been raided but still looked to have lots of good bits and no obvious rust. Had a cargo barrier in it which I thought someone here might like. I think there was something else good there, but I forget what. I know a guy dropped off a pretty straight RT81 Corona last week to them. It was in the carpark when I got there, but was moved by the time I left 20 minutes later!

This month's meeting is tomorrow night. Usual deal - dinner from 7pm, meeting from 8pm. Bells Hotel South Melbourne. Come one, come all!

Want me to take your car for you?heheh :jamie:

Mitch have a read of my race car thread - I did a coil over conversion on the front of it and that would answer most of your questions. A decent search of the forums would also have done that :P If you want to be able to really adjust your front ride height without depending on off the shelf springs, you should go a coil-over conversion. There is no point doing this with the standard Corolla strut tube as the inserts for them are just about non-existent. Upgrade to a Corona XT130 strut, or I imagine you can make an AE86 one work as well, and you open up your options a lot. No point bolting your old brakes back on to these (if it would even work), leave what they come with on the car for much better stopping power. KE3*/5* LCA's are the same length as Coronas, so they give no change to camber. Sigma LCA's are alleged to fit and will give a bit more camber, but you need to rework the taper on the ball joint hole to suit the Corolla balljoint apparently. The same applies for Mx62 Cresside LCA's I believe. Using Cusco Camber tops I got just over 2 degrees negative camber. They can be sourced from A J Pee S in Adelaide (weird spelling to avoid forum editting rules) and if you mention Adam with the KE35 race car recommended you, he will give you free shipping. I think they are $360ish for the pair.

I have an oil light off one of those ports, and a pressure gauge off the other, so I would say yes you can do it.

I have had a 205 tyre under the front of a KE35. My rears are flared so I don't know whether the 205 would also fit under the rear. By the looks of your signature you are putting a rotary in the car. I would suggest you go to the effort of doing a hilux type conversion. My race car has a T-series (Celica/Corona) rear end in it but I don't think it would last that long behind a serious horsepower engine.

Anyone looking for a *E7* panel van? two owner.. 4AC engine.. light metallic blue in colour..rego until February.. looks pretty neat. PM me for details - I have come across through my role with the toyota car club and the lady is struggling to register on rollaclub to advertise it. She wants $3500 but I imagine is pretty negotiable. Some photos here http://picasaweb.google.com.au/adamlaws1974/CorollaPanelVan#

Looks like a good mix!

Where are the pics?!

Buy a marine battery holder, vent it to the outside, job done.
