sleepy92 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) This has been a work in progress since early 2006. Finally its looking like happening. I've been planning something along the lines of the ChrisGT ke35 for over 2 years now. Stay tuned. For now i'll post some pictures of the ke35. Should be getting started on the project within the next month or so. Donor car pictures soon, and hopefully soon after that, project pictures! PRESENT: 1978 Toyota Corolla ke35 hardtop (with a nice little 4k & 5spd gb) There's a little bit of rust, faded paint and a few dents, but it is a 30 year old vehicle. Interior has been swapped from original turd brown. Now it has a charcoal carpet with cream vinyl seats and door cards. Centre console has been removed and I'm keen to hear from some people about swapping in the ke70 centre. Front springs are lowered king springs (low or superlow, not sure). Rear leafs are yet to be reset. Some of you longer term members will remember where the wheels came from :) FUTURE: Engine: AE101 4AGZE (with SC14 - eventually) T50 gearbox TA22 diff (hoping to put an LSD in) Interior: 300zx or WRX seats re-trim existing rear seats and new front seats in white/cream leather or vinyl oil pressure/boost/tacho gauges in place of the stock radio There's heaps more i want to do but i'm tired and i've probably forgotten something. Feel free to make suggestions Mark (apologies for dodgey phone camera pictures) Edited July 9, 2008 by sleepy92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisGT Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 cars looking good mark, the wheels seem to suit your car alot better than mine. I think its because of the back pin strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
