Holy crap! I just read through this whole thread and I have to say.. Top job mate, this is hands down, the best looking AE series corolla I've seen to date. Looking forward to seeing the project completed, and sitting under those beaming show lights! Tim.

VIDEO!!! Your car is hot.

Shit yeah :dance: Looking tops at the moment mate, when can we expect to see the stickers on it? And how many KW was it putting out on the dyno?

Hey mate! REAL nice looking car you've got there. You just don't see these cars in that sort of condition anymore! :y: Any chance you could help us out with contact details of where you got the bumpers and end caps from? They are soo hard to come across in New Zealand! I reckon it might be time for some window tints! :o

Hey nice to see its arrived, looks in fairly good shape too! I'll be watching this project. Good luck with the build!

Heres some funny random pictures I found.

Farkin sick of all the tired, grumpy, smelly, senile old people coming into my shop!!! I work in a second hand refrigeration and repairs shop which has been around for 50 years, and it shows because we get the long time loyal customers and they hate talking to me because I'm young and "don't understand them." And when i try help them they only want to deal with my boss who is 80! So therefore I hate talking to them, and they smell. GRRR Bring me some young female customers!

We don't have anything on our plates because we don't have states lol. Just the registration number. You can buy plates with the NZ flag on it, but they're gay and you only see them on clk mercs drivin by rich poncy bastards. And I'd say that it's not road legal, although you could probably get away with driving it on the road here without the 5-0 looking twice. :) Bunch of slackers they are.

I like number 3, classic, looks oldskool.

AH! You're right they are the same :P never thought of that! Theres a couple of TE71s for sale on trademe at the moment but no one wants to sell me just the panels :jamie:... The search goes on.. Hell yeah that looks hot.. Well I'll have the nice straight body but I won't have the nice pearl paint with the budget I'm on...

Undercoated + guide coated back panels. (notice the flared guards :hmm: ) Bonnet is also undercoated. Just have to panel beat the front guards and doors before I can undercoat them, the're in pretty bad shape so it's going to take a bit of work.. :sob: , I would go and replace them with some better condition panels but there's none around for this model!!! Hit me up if you know of any!

some random funny pics i found on the net

Yeah get some pics up! I'm pretty sure I've seen that 2 tone red n black ke70 around. What part of CHCH you from?

There it sits in my garage! :no2:With mums silly honda up the drive lol.

Yeah hey I'm Tim from Christchurch, New Zealand. I've got a 1982 AE70 SE Corolla Coupe Hardtop Has the stock 3-au engine In project at the moment, check out my threat for it!

:sob: that's a brutal bonnet scoop.

DUDE! Theres tonnes of suspension articles on rollaclub, just hit up the search box and do a bit of research and you'll get alot more out of doing it yourself.

HAHAHA! Mousepads for sad, lonely computer nerds..

HAHA! Plans for a 125mm Turret? Time to introduce a little anarchy maybe?

Hey, thanks for the pics Paul that was inspiring, they look really good in red. I'm going back to have a look at colour charts one more time this saturday morning and decide then on what I want. It will most likely be red I'm just not sure what exact sort of shade yet. As for yours, I trust it arrived safely? Hope you're gonna put up a thread for it, would be good to follow. And yeah gunmetal grey will look sweet!

Just put the rims on it now, they have 195/80/14s on them but I'll be getting lower profiles before i go for warrant of fitness, the tires on them are completely bald.

Update: Won't be undercoated this weekend now as the workshop I was going to be using is no longer available :eatlead: SO.. I'll have more time to look at paint options over the next few days, and I'll do some panelbeating on the doors and front guards which I'd planned on painting at a later stage.. The painting booth should be available again in a couple of weeks. I'm picking up my mags on Saturday too so I'll chuck them on and put some pics up tomorow.

Hey man, thats the nicest AE80 I've ever seen! Yeah I agree with Johno, keep the kit thats already on the car, it looks sweet! What sort of engine does it have in it?

The smell of bbq, taste of beer and sound of motorsports on TV on a bright sunny Sunday afternoon :lol:

You'll more than likely be using alot more gas if you choose rotory. SR20 FTW
