Saturday saw the addition of a second Corolla to the Harvey household, in that of a Purple Ke30 two door sedan!

 

Comes with NO RUST (not even any under the spare wheel).

 

4k instead of the stock 3k. (HUGE power increase..)

 

Jellybean mags with locknuts and two good tires, only the fronts need replacing.

 

 

Spares:

Bootlid (nothing wrong with current one?)

Instrument cluster

Four spare stockies with stuffed tires.

Dash Fascia

Original AM radio

Driver door rubber

Tailights

Front indicator lenses

Indicator relay

Interior bits and pieces

Chrome trims

HEAPS MORE! Basically the boot is full and so is the interior with the spares it's come with.

 

Plans?

 

- Sand the ONLY surface rust on the paint and primer and respray it with a rattle can, simply for rust protection.

- Bleed the brakes and replace the brake hoses (there is zero fluid in the brakes..)

- Replace front tires

- Replace indicator relay

- Find new caps for brake and clutch master cylinder

- Replace instrument cluster fascia and instrument cluster (much nicer one that hasn't been chopped comes with it).

- Install (but not wire up) AM radio

- Adjust passenger door as it sags slightly.

- Raise car and check bushes/rubbers

- Replace dash pad

-Send for a RWC and see what else needs doing.

 

Long term plans?

 

- Respray in original colour.

- Detail the crap out of everything

- Whitewalls

- Enjoy

 

Just a few pics for now, will get more tomorrow when I get to working on it :D

Switched the steering wheel today to a 3-spoke wheel (factory fitted from later models), looks the goods :)

 

Went and bought a brake bleeding kit in preparation for the day I get around to it

 

How do I fix my indicators? They stay on rather than flashing, yet the parkers work fine?

 

Installed the driver door rubber the previous owner supplied with the car. Much nicer, but I know for sure now that BOTH front doors have sagging issues..

 

Anyone here need a ke55 dash fascia? I have a perfect one I'm willing to trade for an early ke30 dash fascia (two-piece) :)

 

Also on the lookout for the plastic for the rear pillars, want to get the interior and dash etc sorted before getting mechanical with the car. Engine runs well, needs a tune though.

 

Will post up pics tomorrow :)

So, it's either a fuse, a flasher or a relay for the issue with the lack of hazards AND indicators? Think indicators will be a flasher unit, as they just stay on, but have a spare stalk to test out the hazards :)

 

The sooner I sort out wiring the better! Hate it... Can't wait to get the interior sorted and begin on the rest of the roadworthy gear ;)

change em both ftw!

 

shes looking good so far

PM'd back about the wheels. :jamie:

 

Also, are you chasing this type of fascia? We have one for sale if you want one.

 

 

Woz & Josh. :cool:

Cheers mate, will let you know when I find out doctors appointment times etc :)

 

Nah, car came with one of those as a spare, I'm after the early dash, two piece black one, mainly the piece with the cig lighter :)

All good. Just let us know when you're ready to grab 'em. :)

i reckon i got the bit your after? it sits next to the radio and has a toyota symbol underneath?

 

ill have looksie.

 

btw if you don't have that dash fascia^ my dash pad wont fit

Dunno about the emblem cause mine is hacked up and fuucked, last owner must've gone to town on it for a cd player or something? ohwells..

 

Yeah, I figured that just before.. Still need a dash :(

thing in the middle?

Yar! That be the one! I'm contemplating just fabbing something up for now for the fun of it and see how it looks out of some 3mm mdf.

 

Tomorrow's big job (when I find the time) is to sort out the indicator BS and if I'm making good progress, bleed the front brakes for now until I can be bothered raising the rear and bleeding the rear brakes too (only thing stopping me taking it for a RWC, cause I'll crash and burn on the way there).

 

Forgot how much fun a car with a clutch is :)

 

Also need to pressure wash the engine bay AND the suspension gear to make it all sexy, then lube all the rubbers up to hopefully get a few borderline ones to pass the roady with ease.

 

Ideas? Suggestions?

 

Gunna grab some paint in the next week or so and fix as many of the oversprayed areas of the car where the previous owner just got too into spraying and not enough into covering parts..

to make rubber shine for a couple days use atf (yes transmission fluid!) i use it on my louvers and it looks great!

 

put a little bit on a rag and work it in ftw

The aim isn't necessarily shine, more to make rubber look more supple and rejuvenated, although that's an awesome idea :)

On a side note - Any way to remove paint from a rubber seal easily? The previous owner had a shithouse aim!

try a scotch brite scouring pad? (its like a sponge that you use to polish your pots at home) use it very lighty? or try scratch it off with yah nail?
