Ahhh finally found the NZ thread.

 

Hello all, great site, props to all those involved, so much useful information (wiki or bible? you decide), in fact, that I'm think I'm going to get fired for spending all my time at work here, rather than working for my (very little) money.

 

My ride is a 100% original 1980 KE70 Corolla Sedan DX Extra, 4K-U, (dished pistons?), 4spd, overrated full black interior, straight as & only a small piece of rust.

I scored this all for $100 & a tinny, from my mates dad, (the tinny went to my mate for the hook up).

 

I am going for a ground up resto, going to upgrade/ replace bits to suit, but trying keep it original as possible. Going to work the engine, (twin carbs, extractors, exhaust cam, etc) following the Wiki as a guide/bible. Learning all the way as I go. Pull it to bits, add beef, garnishings, dress in new paint, then get it all legal again & BOO-YEAH alakazam.

Sorry bout the slack reply but were real busy, & I can only get on here at work, but....

Working on photos this weekend, don't have a digi cam so its a mission.

Its coming to bits slowly, trying to keep it all organised when I pack & label every thing up. Makes shit way easier later.

Picks up next week.

Oh yeah, forgot to say, its a Twin headlight model. all overrated as too.

Sorry, still working on pics, need to be developed.

But the Ive managed to pull the entire interior out, along with air con, dash, carpet, seats etc. Ive labelled, cleaned & boxed it all up as I'm going, so that it goes back together easy. It could be in pieces for a long time, & with my (self induced) short term memory, this gonna help.

 

All the dash wiring tonight, going to tidy it all up with new hose sleeves through out & labels, its all original wiring, plugs etc & all still overrated as.

 

Contemplating on whether or not to pull th sound deadener shit out or paint over...

 

Back when I can.
