December 30, 200916 yr comment_401597 Hey all. I like to consider myself a ke10 through ke18 type of guy (hence the username), but I am a Corolla Freak like the rest of you so this could not be missed Picked up this beauty just last week. Purchased 9th or October 1974 by (now 85 year old) Davinne from Cambridge Motors, Hawthorn. She was the Only owner... Until now. This is the closest thing I'll even own to 'overrated'. Came with Original owners manual and Vehical Warranty books. Even has the original Toolkit in the boot which has never been used. The back seat has been sat in 6 times! Everything is original except for the steering wheel cover I removed before leaving her driveway. Had not even been washed when I took these pics... My plans are: - New tyres, cause they're cracking... My guess is they're 20years old. - Whitewalls - New number plates, cause they're shitty and faded. - Major "Gavclassic" style detailing inside and out - Keep it looking as it is. Keen to run it in the Bay to Birdwood next year... Interior pics to come Cheers! Scott. Edited December 30, 200916 yr by ScottKE1X Report

December 30, 200916 yr comment_401635 Looks great :dance: , the best tool i have in my shed is my pressure cleaner, its what does most of the work and a good degreaser. If your going to use the car a bit might consider some 13" Mazda wheels. The 626 ones look good, they can fit the Toyota centre cap and chrome nuts give it that factory look. Best tyre size i've found in 175/65 x 13. Same as i've got on my wife's KE17 ( see my thread ). Don't hesitate for any advise, if i was closer i'd come over to help. Report
December 30, 200916 yr Author comment_401661 Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it overall. Looks sweet and drives like nothing else. I just picked up my spare mazda 13" rims I use to run on my ke11. They have 185/60's I think... I was going to run them for a bit but I was going to get the 12's back on with new tyres just to keep it factory spec. Shame I didnt get a pressure cleaner for xmas... Ill have to do it the hard way :dance: Scott. Report
December 30, 200916 yr comment_401665 neat find, i reckon leave the original plates for "originality". my corolla has 10 year old tread on it and i must say scary in the wet when your 4 wheel drifting around a roundabout! Report

Maybe a good idea not to do it then. Awesome car! Also an awesome spot you chose to take the pictures. What better place then a park? Report
December 30, 200916 yr Author comment_401707 Awesome car! Also an awesome spot you chose to take the pictures. What better place then a park? Thats my parent's property... awesome place to grow up. Ill get my SLR out one day and see if I can get pics like RA28GT's got in his ride thread. Edited December 30, 200916 yr by ScottKE1X Report
