My project ke35 corolla coupe

Hey guys I've finally found a project after looking for long time. I was trying to find a ra28 Celica or a datsun 240k coupe. But on my quest to find one of these I came across ke35 corolla coupe it's in pretty good shape not much rust from what can see will begin a better search in the weeks to come. It's running manual with a 3k engine. Now this is my first Toyota apart from my daily hilux so this a new thing for me I plan to restore it jap style definatly fender mirrors love them but engine I don't want to go to big and I was thinking maybe 4agze any advice or comments are always welcome. I probably won't start for a while as I want to get my 180 running right 1st. Will keep you posted on when I start. I'm looking at the moment for some front guards for it the owner before me crashed it and repaired it with 4 door guards....do ke55 guards match up by any chance? like i said this is my first toyota so i don't know much about what models can use the same parts

 

cheers dan

 

p.s will try and get some more pics up the only one small enough is the one where my old man got bored and put my old 190 rims on it

Nice start there mate. Yeah 55 guards match up just fine. So where are ya from anyway?

I ment 180 not 190 whoops.... Thanks for that mate I'm from the Ipswich/ Brisbane area hey do you kno of any wreckers that deal with a lot of corollas?

i started stripping the other day heres some pics i took ....... inside completly stripped except for dash thats next

 

 

and some cancer :(

 

 

 

on a side note has neone used the dry ice method of removing sound deadner if so many kg is needed?

looks like fun

Is that cancer or just the sound deadner cracking off?

 

Edit : yeah its meant to work overrated using dry ice. Its pretty cheap.

I have, I used 9kg to just remove 12kg of sound deadener from my AE82. That was done on a 35+ degree day, cooler weather it'll obviously last longer. Hopefully that gives you a rough idea :)

 

P.S - Gloves & long sleeves, freeze-burns hurt :yes:
