yeh it is really dirty after driving it on the weekend.

If you ever find yourself in need of a door or two (or 4...) I have a few laying around. same goes for gearboxes, back hatches, blocks, carbs, ummm... pretty much everything except bonnets, suspension and diffs.

I thought the hatch was the only thing that didn't rust on the T18's :)

haha my hatch is blue and purple and has REALLY bad rust on the bottom

Wow another T18, great!

 

I see more T18's than any other pre AE Corolla...

 

I very rarely see any KE20-50, did they all end up in paddocks?
