Can somone help identify this Toyota Grill. I'm sure its for a KE20, but I can't seem to find any pics for it :-( Part Number : 53111-19075 Any help or pics of the Car appreciated :-)

As the weather was nice the KE went out for a drive today :-) then ended up at my local Toyota Garage and they have one of the First DEMOs of the GT86 in Manchester, the Manager came out and took fotos of my car and allowed me taking a few of the GT86...

Weather has finall started to get good :-) Using as a daily whilst it stays good.. Went to work & thought a shot in front of a plane would be nice... Anyone around Manchester Airport will see this around no doubt :-)

Its that time of year and due for an MOT in 3 weeks but thought id take it today :-) Well passed with Flying Colours :-) And its nice to get the passers by Having a Nosey :-))) And a nice spot on the way back home...

Not driven it for a while. Took out for the day, just to loosten her up a little.. A drive around town ;D

Just took her out to change the wheel bolts... Weather really shite so straight back inside the garage... :-)))

Your thoughts with the final product :-)))

After soritng the wrong tyre choice :-)))

Going for the MA61 Wheels :-))) After Re-furb

Not been on for a while... But ive had the car in the garage and all rust issues sorted :-)))

Top Man... such a very fragile made grill...

Found this grill in the boot of my KE10 and I can't seem to suss out what model this grill is for? There is no part number on the cover it came out of... Any help appreciated..

THIS FIND IS THE MOTHER OF ALL FINDS !!! This must be no doubt the BEST KE70 Find for me …. Well on my travels a few days back (remarkably in the space of one week I’ve found 2 KE70 GL’s) A 1983 KE70 on a ‘Y’ plate here in England…. THIS CAR HAS ONLY DONE 12k….. YES 12k !!!! I nearly had a Heart Attack when I saw it.. The owner was a bit reluctant to show me but once I mentioned I owned one & shown a picture of my KE70 he was more than happy to show me ….. Having owned this car for nearly 20 years and in the garage which is heated….. I was Very Happy  So 12k Plastic covers on doorcards Front & Rear Seats never sat in & covered with seat covers :-) In a Heated Garage... Spare Tyre never used.... (sounds like mine :P ) :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Because its so original I don't want to do anything but keep it as is.... And yes you are right ... In England if its not rusty it aint normal..lol.. But forget that, a week later look what I found!!!!! The Brown one above....

Xcellent i'll try that in the next day or 2..

Yep defo :-) hopefully gonna get it to the garage some time next week to start stripping it.. Ive got 2 wings which is a start I guess... Ive lost the key and managed to take the driver door lock thinking it will be stamped with the 4 digit code... But it aint.. How easy is it to get the ignition lock out ?

Wanna keep her as original as possible.. This was My last project :-)

I was so shocked myself when I picked it up :-)))

Want to strip it down and re-build, poss a 5k??? Lets see how easy it is to source parts for this here in England, possibly only half a dozen still alive...

Well finally got round to getting the KE10 (the day after I bought the KE70) out of the garage & its actually the first time ive had a proper look at the car in full as when I first went to see the car it was in a garage and brakes seized & when it was dropped off back in March it was dark so went straight into the garage.... So front brakes un-seized and pushed out, rear brakes were ok.. :-)

I picked this oldie up back in March this year and has been in the garage ever since :-) This particular car I have got my hands on was featured in a Book Called �CARS� by Stephen Bayley in 2009. The car has been stored in a garage at the parents house of the middle aged gentleman I purchased it off since 1995. It only came out in 2009 when it was taken for its photo shoot. Unfortunately like any old Toyota its suffering from a bit of neglect and tin worm and is in need of a restoration. After spending nearly 16 years in a garage has helped it survive.

Ok buddy, i'll start a seperate Thread for that :-)))
