ok guys before you ask no i don't have any photos ;) they will be up as soon as i take some. ok the low down, was up at mad mazda matts shop, and one of his mechanics mentioned he saw an 'old corolla' sitting near the gate at one of the local wreckers. i thought no harm in having a looksie, so on my lunch break i dawdled down there expecting to see an old ae82 or something. sure enough there was a little KE30 2 door sitting in just behind the front gate. knowing the owner i told hin i was going to have a glance, it turns out to be a 1975 2 door manual.....with a 5k in place of the 3k :thumbsup: the owner of the yard said 500, i said done. so it is currently residing in matts backyard until tomorrow arvo when i can get a trailer to bring it home. after inspecting a bit on my lunch break today i noticed it had a holden key in the ignition, almost straight and rust free body....and the 5k has a blown head gasket :( so future plans will be pull 5k out and replace with 4k while the 5 is being rebuilt, possibly respray, have some brake burners sitting at home i will whack on, tidy up and drive basically. so thats about it for now, will keep you posted.
