Recommended Posts

Hi all 'rolla fans.

My name is Benz, come from Bangkok, Thailand.

I've got rusty corolla ke11 for four months ago, it's now on restoration..

It's my first 'rolla so I will have many questions as my expectation is to let it be shine and close to showroom condition as much as I can. ;-)

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

going on....

somebody's told me that grille is for Sprinter..right?

 

Hey grunweiBus and welcome to the forum. What an exciting project you have. Here in Australia we got very few of the four door KE1x's. Even though you have a lot of work to do it will certainly be worth it. Make sure you keep putting up progress pics as you go. I'm sure there will be people here able to help you with all your questions.

 

Yes.... that grille you have is off a Sprinter. :)

Thanks, I believe many guys can help me all over my project.

So, I've taken pics for every process to keep in its profile and to see 'Before' and 'After'

Hi everyone,

 

This is my 1970 corolla ke11 with new finishing, it was done at the end of year 2009.

She is being my family car, we drive her almost everyday not just on holiday.

 

I am currently finding some missing parts to give her more beautiful in detail, e.g. original steering wheel (ke30 is used)

But nowadays, quite difficult to have a good condition original parts. The ones they have are not good.

 

Does anyone know where can I get that stuffs for my 'rolla?

 

Cheers,

 

Benz

can't help you with the parts...

 

but your car looks absolutely fantastic!!!!!

 

if you have any more photos of the build process we would all be interested to see them.

 

do you have any more photos of it with the new paint?

 

i love the color.

 

Yes, i have a lot of photo while it was in the garage. Will post on the thread shortly.

 

Very tidy looking car!

 

A "wanted" thread on Rollaclub listing the parts you require is a good place to start.

 

Also, keep an eye out on Ebay.

 

 

great job, looks so much better than when you started, from the looks of it though that badge isn't for that grill?

 

 

You have a very nice ke11 4 door.
