zilli Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Hey all, So glad i found this place, i picked up this overrated 1983 KE70 Corolle SE. Some Specs 1) One lady owner who was 95 years old! means she brought it when she was 62!!!! 2) 79,000 kms, it absolutely purs! gutless, but so smooth 3) UNTOUCHED and IMMACULATE interior, EVERYTHING works, nothing is broken!!!! 4) Couple of dings and a little bit of damage i am looking at slowly repairing 5) Air con thats colder than my 2000 Honda Integra Type R 6) EVERYTHING works! 7) The only rust i see is a 1cm dot above the rear right taillight, and a little bit at the bottom of the rear right door, but only from the inside Here's some pics fellas, not exactly sure what i am going to do with it for the moment, kinda tempted to fix it up and sell it, dunno how much it'd be worth, but then part of me says a 26 year old car that is in such immaculate condition wont come along too often... i suppose i'll just wait and see I spent the whole of yesterday giving it a wash, clean and wax, and detailing the interior, it took 2 hours just to clean off the caked on foundation on the steering wheel, handbrake and inidcation stalks, i suppose the plus was underneath the plastic was immacualte. I reckon the seatc covers she had on it had been there since new, i almost passed out when i took them off the front seats!

It does look very tidy mate. :) The warped bumpers are very typical, no matter how well it's been looked after. I would keep it for a while and enjoy it.

zilli Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 i think i might just do that mate! thanks... i think the bumpers have had a knock or two, the reo underneath may be slightly bent so when i have the time i'll whip them off and see if theres something i can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilli Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 absolutely amazing man, it gets colder than my other car which is 17 years newer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78_7kRolla Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) That is SICK! Leave her totally stock and do all the necessary things to make her perfect. I really like that interior, sexy as can be! I'd say it'd be worth around $3-4 grand maybe more if you found the right buyer.Look after her Cheers Matt.

zilli Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Heres a bit of an update on some work ive done since i bought the car... Just gave the motor a good degrease, ive run out of time, i still have to detail it now... but it came up very nice I had to replace the front end as the grill was cracked and the front left light was bashed in, the old lady bumped into her garage parking it :-) Anyway i ended up replacing the whole front end... i still gotta take that bumper off and see if i can fix the reo underneath to get rid of the bends in the bumper And just a quick one from the side.... Can anyone tell me what this feature is for? theres obviously a valve in there, but what does it do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmy Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Can anyone tell me what this feature is for? theres obviously a valve in there, but what does it do? hey mate great find, looks unreal that valve i have on my 55 aswell, there is a tube that runs to the top of my extractors. if i set it to summer it closes the valve so heat from extractors wont go into carby, but in winter u open it and it lets heat from extractors in. I'm not sure why cause i thought cold air was best for engine performance....? but i could be wrong, thats jus what i rememba bein told lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furryfrog Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) when fuel is cold it doesnt mix well with the air so it just aids with atomization in cold weather. nice looking car by the way Edited August 3, 2008 by furryfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
