68krolla Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) My 1968 ke10 corolla.. I bought this car off of ebay not so long ago to have as a project car.. i have been following other peoples threads such as 67rollas and davros ke10 (nice work btw guys) and now I'm gona start my own. At the moment I'm wanting to do a complete resto with a 4age for the donk! I will try to keep as many pics posted as i can going along the way and would love to get plenty of positive feedback to keep me going. Here is the starting point anyway! Oh btw the original engine in the car is for sale for anybody who wants it! it runs well and I'm gona leave it in the car so i can show people it runs! Pm me if interested!

JiP Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Very tidy start for a project mate. Is that a 1k or 3k engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiko101 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 what other plans you got for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68krolla Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) what other plans you got for her? Well i don't really want to give alot away but i had some really good ideas in my head before i even got the car but as i said before i want to put a 4agte in while keeping it fairly sleeper and having the original paint code put back on the car but with glitter though the clear coats, and even keep the original interior colour and stitching and have a few modern touches like decent stereo and semi buckets in the front. thats a rough idea but keep following and watch this car come together slowly (hopefully not to slowly).....

67Rolla-Ken Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 :wink: Keep those pics rolling, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread! If that is the original 1K DO NOT SELL IT!!! You won't get much for it, and it will always be worth more if it stays with that car. Just wrap it up and put it away somewhere. It won't take up much room :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos if it aint, you sound a hell of a lot like him Ken.... Wicked project. I'd like to build a 4agte powered MONSTER one day and just spend all my spare time scaring myself.
