August 16, 201016 yr comment_460041 I don't know how your able to leave them both so standard mate, if i owned one like that it wouldn't be very original let me tell you haha, but keep up the good work mate it's good to see you got clean standard (not massive hp sleeper) cars into a car mag well done Report
August 17, 201016 yr Author comment_460219 Thanks Daxman and Justin. Believe me sometimes its very, very tempting to stick some serious rubber and coils under the car as thats what e7 owners usually do. But then it would ruin the hard work ive put in to get them to this standard which would hurt a lot. What ive done to them has made them stand out in their own right so they're still head turners.

August 21, 201016 yr Author comment_461383 Hit the jackpot a couple of times this week, found three genuine as new heater hoses for the ae71 in case I break one during the manual conversion or just to have as a spare. If you can get them from Toyota where can you get them. Secondly I was getting annoyed with the rear louvre as its a pain to clean behind, so I opted to buy a venetian. Coincidentially there happened to be one on ebay so I won that and am awaiting delivery. For the 21st birthday Paul found me something very rare which I had never seen or imagined. An ae71 bonnet protector!, He always fancied the red Corollas rear louvre so his ae71 will be sprting that instead. Photos to follow. Report
August 21, 201016 yr Author comment_461428 Photos.... Gear stick surround, lucky it was still there 4 weeks after buying the conversion gear. Pain finding a manual one in grey. Three emergency/replacement hoses, all for $20.00 :D Working out mounting holes to fit bonnet protector (will be squared up nicely) May as well put it up while its there, the 4A :( Report
August 21, 201016 yr comment_461448 Did AE71's have one? they sure do cause i helped a mate pull a crossmember out and the shroud was still in the car at least i am sure Report
August 25, 201016 yr Author comment_462609 You got me thinking guys, yes while some AE71's had the shroud some didnt. I noted two ae71s and one had the plastic shroud, while the other had the fan exposed - however the top tank of the radiator had a small fan guard tacked on like mine has. From what I can acertain Toyota did some changes as far as those things are concerned, but the radiators are still the same.

August 25, 201016 yr Author comment_462614 The red now is now wearing a bonnet protector. Just waiting for the venetian to arrive, I was told it would be mailed this week after winning it last friday..... anyway more photos. Edited August 25, 201016 yr by "The Mint KE70" Report
August 25, 201016 yr comment_462753 How long is the 4ac going to be staying in there for ? You should consider a super clean 4age transplant one day. :) Report
August 25, 201016 yr comment_462765 if you know ben, he will NEVER! do that to a poor ke70! i say go for a fan shroud! Report
August 25, 201016 yr comment_462779 Ahem! AE71 mate :) I'm not sold on the bonnet protector but then again I have never seen one before. The venetians however will look sweet. Report

Hey Evan what motor was under the bonnet when I showed you on Sunday, no push rods for this machine :) It'll look weird with that tin plate and a plastic shroud underneath. Ill leave it how it came.... Report

The bonnet protector I have never seen before Matt, not even Toyota had these as an option which is why I never looked for one. The venetian will be good when it finally arrives though. :) Report
