Hi there

i just joined and this is my first post. I'm on here because i just inherited a KE20 sl from my grandmother. I'm so excited becasue i 've only ever seen about 10 or so in adelaide. Well mine is in decent nick mechanically, but the interior and the body need some work. i have been dreaming of getting this car ever since i was little and i was just so lucky I'm the only grandchild with a licence :jamie: . my plan is to do it up untill it looks and go's exactly like it just came out of the factory. my lovely boyfriend is helping me slowly do it up, he bought me new door seals. Just on that topic i was wondering if all KE20's make a clanging sound when you close the door? i just thought i was becasue of the ruined seals but they've been replaced and it still does it. I am also a bit confused while reading a post about the different models, someone said a KE20 was a sedan but I'm pretty sure mine is classed as a coupe, maybe not i don't know. I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow if i can and i'll go look at the drivers hand book and see if i can sus it out.

by the way if you hadn't sused it out my names ashie.

oxoxox

Welcome to rollaclub.

 

Look forward to seeing you progress with the car, like all of us, I'm sure you'll learn alot, and enjoy it too.

 

Cheers

coupes are the ke25, ke20 came out in 2 door sedans, 4 door sedans, ke26 were the 4 door wagons and panel vans.

The car looks great, you'll have to take some more pics in a few weeks when you can! Maybe we could go on a rolla photoshoot when I get my 55.

 

Also, this car sounds like a beast... :P

hey yeah. definatly need more pics, rolla shoot sounds great.

i do have more pics but you can see too much of her faults (dents and rust) so i shall keep them to myself

 

it so sounds like a beast, LOVE IT!

except when coming home late.. have to park up the hill or roll down with engine off

A very nice example of an original ke20, I also love the 70's orange colour :P This model is a ke20 2 door sedan assembled by AMI Australia. :P

I own 2 ke20's and I just love the look of them. Do you have any pics of the interior and engine bay. :P

Cheers, Mark. :bash:

I know this 20!

Seen it down at the lonsdale hotel a few months back.

It was for sale then too wasn't it??

Nice score!! Gotta love grandmas :P

Good score Ashie! Gotta love your grandma for that :P

 

Reminds me of my old orange one, but slightly better condition.

 

definitely enter Bay To Birdwood, my KE20 will be there as will about 8 other Corollas.

 

What plans do you have for her?

 

Cheers, Ben.
