jaygore Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 (edited) Hi guys i recently sold my Legnum VR4 twin turbo V6 wags blah blah blah. Got over it to be honest. I have been wanting a ke20 corolla for the most part of life :blinks: just never got around to it... Till the perfect one came up, its had all the major work done :blinks: there are still a few bits and pieces that need to be done, such as the roof lining, the guy i bought it off told me that all i need to do is take it to someone to have it done, but I'm insure if it needs an insert or not before putting the lining on :blinks: so if someone could please clarify this that would be great. It also needs to have the parcel shelf done and maybe another few bits and pieces. I also need to get side mirrors but i have found plenty on ebay and I'm sure the wreckers would have something as well :blinks: pictures to come but it has been paid for and now i need to get it from sydney to vic so I am sorting that out now :blinks: I can't wait to get this on the road and see peoples reactions to me driving it around... the legnum was great, but you can never beat a classic and ke20's seem to be getting rarer :y: which is a good thing for us so this is the start of what I have been wanting since i was 15 :blinks: :happy: :yes: :huh: Edited April 20, 2011 by jaygore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Sounds good mate, keen to see the pics. What are your plans for the driveline ? Standard cruiser, worked K motor, or something more serious ? Cheers, Dougal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
