November 5, 200916 yr comment_388692 CAR: 1984 ke70 corolla ENGINE: stock as a rock 4k 219,xxxs runs superbly TRANS: 5 spd manual DIFF: stock borgy SUSPENSION AND BRAKES: stock rooted rear shocks, stock brakes BODY: very good condition, little rust I bought her for 1500 a little over two months ago and she hasnt let me down yet!! engine runs like new and trans is excellent. has a bit of bog here and there, new alternater,water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, radiator, exhaust, and tyres were new but for some reason the back ones are wearing out really fast. interior is stock blue and in very good condition. taking a bit longer to do up because of school and work and don't get much daylight to work on her but I'm getting there..... slowly Edited November 5, 200916 yr by lilke70 Report

November 8, 200916 yr Author comment_389513 Wow... Is it bent at all? How did you do it? my mate just brake hard and i went up his arse about 40-50 ks after i pulled the entire front end off i was pretty relieved it had minor damage just panel damage really Edited November 8, 200916 yr by lilke70 Report
February 22, 201016 yr Author comment_416154 well not long after the damage pics were taken i sourced a complete front end and got her back on the road but she was never the same and one after the other problems started occuring, electrical problems draining the battery, blew head gasket, defected for oil leaks in the engine bay and a tyre under the wear bar,the exhaust split,the shockers shat it, springs through the asses of passengers in the back seat and all this started to cost me too much money and so when she finally went boom i decided its time for a ground up rebuild. i have plans for a mild 16v or 20v just a neat daily/cruise car i don't want to build a fully sick drift car i just want something neat and reliable but still stand out from the crowd. plans for some super light rims 14x10 rear and 14x8 front which means some flared guards and fiberglass bolt on fares, flat front coversiom with chrome bumpers, hilux lsd, lots of shiney chrome and fender mirrors, I'm going red and white theme for the exterior and paint and is going to be pearl white with red pin stripes and red walls on tyres, red on black for the interior with bucket seats front and back, sorry to say but I'm not big on sound systems so just a simple headunit and 6x9s and ill be happy. putting the new front guards on was quite a challange as most of the screw holes didnt line up because of the accident damage, but i managed thanks to help of my mates who also own ke70s shes now basically a rolling shell in the shed and I'm currently fixing up little dings and cutting rust out and removing bog from the previous owner, progress pics below...
