May 2, 201115 yr comment_521208 A few pics of my new 55 i bought of a friend recently, 1980 KE55 Toyota Corolla 4k 3speed auto extractors and exhaust (only mods) 52,000km Very little rust (2 small spots on the edge of the boot lid) Very straight Interior is very clean with a few small scratches on the passengers door card, and 1 small crack on the dash. Future Mods: Lowering throwing around a bit of paint and getting some detail under the engine bay. 32/36 weber and a cam. Fit my personalised plates (OKE 055) The only mark on the interior!
