Corollas That Have Passed Us By

[corolla_bitten]

Thought id start a new topic about corollas that have served us well but have died in our very own arms.

 

Here is my faithful old ke70 pano, also known as kevin 07, bought her for $500, served me 2 and a half years, gave her a respray and fresher 4k, had over 500,000 k's on the chassis, and she was brought down by two kangaroos within 3 weeks of each other on the way to work, then the head gasket blew 2 days later. Holds the record for taking 630 kgs of concrete to the local tip in one trip. the toughest ke70 i have ever owned. R.I.P kevin07

My KE20. Went to the great race track in the sky after the guy I sold it to stripped it for the motor and dash :jamie:

 

 

 

Also my first car, a KE35, that went through a number of hands after I sold it. None of them cared for the old girl. Saw it advertised a number of years later, went to look at it thinking a cheap car to drive around and use in a bit of motorsport on the weekends.

 

Worst thing I ever did. Poor old thing was trashed. Hoodlining pulled out, exhaust ripped off at the muffler so they could keep the exhaust tip, panels all beat up and the paint (custom red with pearl) looking shit. Took it for one last drive and I was almost crying. The guy selling it then started to tell us all about what he had done to the motor. Only issue is that it was exactly the same as when the old man and me built it............
