Reckon you are lucky the regulars haven't growled at you yet about reading the FAQ! Having had a look myself, if you go to the Knowledge Base/FAQ link at the top of the page, you will find all you need to know about fitting discs to your KE10 there.

Where in Melbourne are you? You couldnt find a more honest and reliable mechanic in Peter Robinson at Oakleigh ... you will get the job done at a fair price. Knows plenty about Corollas too!

So today was spent fitting venetians, giving the interior a clean up and replacing theromstat and water pump. Sadly that hasnt fixed the running warm problem, but I reckon its the radiator - one side is hot, one side is cold - typical blocked radiator syndrome. Oh well just got to figure out how I get it reco'ed when I don't have another car to get the radiator from place to place! Was harder to get grime off the vinyl interior than I thought it would be.. .prepsol and spray and wipe having no real effect. Any one got any suggestions? Here are some better pics :'( (More pics added when I figure out why they arent working on imageshack!)

Yep 69 model. Definitely an upgrade... aside from the need to judge the gaps in traffic when pulling out of side streets... she is no power house! Peter runs a workshop in Melbourne and is a KE Corolla guru from what I can figure out... been playing with them since they were released it would seem.

Picked her up today and she is a good 'un! Very happy indeed. Temperature seems to run a bit high, but it probably needs a thermostat, radiator flush and coolant change like every other old toyota I have owned... So having had a really good look the project list now looks like: Immediate projects: Replace thermostat Flush or recondition radiator Clean and detail everything.. there is nearly 40 years of grime in there! Repair single tear in drivers seat Have Peter rejet carb to gain better drivability To do a little further down the track Front brake upgrade (KE20 hubs wanted!) Different wheels perhaps - superlites? A little lowering at the front New carpets, hoodlining and dash top Replace faded light lenses when I find better ones I will put up some more pics on the weekend after I have given her a good clean.

Hi guys Due to a recent change in job, I lost my company car and decided an old school Corolla was going to be the go for my daily transport. After looking at quite a few on ebay and in person, I noticed someone's advice in the wanted posts suggesting Peter Robinson was the man to see... I trundled up there this afternoon and had a chat and am now the proud owner (to be) of this great little car...I will pick it up next week once Peter has got a roadworthy for me. Specs are all very much one owner granny spec.. K motor, toyoglide 2 speed auto, 4 wheel drums, neat white/cream interior.
