parrot Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 What a machine! They not only look fantastic, but are incredibly functional too. Had any luck sourcing a guard yet? 3/4 of all early Corolla's in Australia seem to be in Adelaide, so shouldn't be too hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philbey Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 3/4 of all those old corollas have all been owned by about 5 blokes on the rollaclub board too. I want to see this sucker in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverra23 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Just when I think I am getting over my Corolla "thing"... very nice, reckon it will look even better once you have done your plans.. I like the idea of some sign writing too... can be done in vinyl so it can be removed if needed too. Just make sure you use good quality vinyl.

KETURBO25 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 we got to organize another old school corolla cruise!!! summers coming up so perfect! +1 for the cruise! my cars all running and ready for it now so I'm in. Ive been with Rolla club for over 2 years and i've still never been on even one. Nickyboy very nice ride man, that thing looks absolutly shmick, so original ay.

nickyboy Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 can do! well all i have done to it really, replaced the point and plugs. replaced the thermostat (cracked the housing while doing it :bash:) replaced the original fuel filter haha and have given it a lil tune/idle adjustment. she now runs sweet as! temp sits at half though sometimes crawls a lil below 3/4... never really had another K engine do this but the manual reckons its still running fine between half and 3/4. It's yet to go any higher. Got some paint to redo all the front plastics (grill/light surrounds) reckon i will do the wheels a very close greeny teal that is on the badge on the front. will do the same for the air box. Now to find free time to go get the wheels. :l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I havent forgotten about the guard either. Just been injured from a dirt bike + landing on rocks incident on the weekend and now a bit of Gastro. By the way, this would now happen to be the second white KE26 Delivery Van I've seen ;) I know where there is another one hiding in adelaide too. Could possibly be a KE16/18 though, havent had a good look. Certainly a tidy machine :) Will grab a pic for you tomorrow if I'm feeling up to it.
