Hey I'm new to this forum and corolla's in general.

Just got myself a 1984 ke70 and am in the process (still early) of a new paint job and sr20det conversion. Car is off the road as I bought it with a broken axle, wasn't much good to me anyway with an auto in it. My daily is a 2006 Toyota Hiace, its lowered colour coded bumpers, tint, stereo, carpeted all the rear of it and yeah just all the basics.

how I picked it up

couple of photos of my van

welding up the badge holes

rust repairs

fixing dents/rust

as it sits today

Damn those vans look good low. I miss mine.

 

Keen as always for ke70 builds. :y:

Also down on KE70 builds :D

the rust in the right rear door is a little bit more than worth fixing at the moment so if anyone in perth has a rust free right rear door for sale let me know

so I have the new door and am almost ready to primer it, so engine will be coming out soon and need to get rid of it

Keep it up dude.

engine and gearbox are now out and sold so have a few bits and pieces that will be up for sale soon.

also had this surge tank and vl lift pump come up cheap so I grabbed it

body work is coming along well and don't have a whole lot more to go. so I've started thinking about the engine cross member and suspension. id like something better than stock ke stuff but I'm not a fan of the massive track running the s13 parts, but I will have most of it as I'm buying a halfcut. I'm thinking welding new mounts on 4k cross member and dropping it down 10-20mm for more clearance, ae86 coilovers, steering arms, etc. but I also want 5 stud so does anyone know of any 5 stud hubs that will bolt onto ae86? or any other recommended setups?

So you're going CA18 or SR20 yeah?

sr20det

That'll be fun when you're done then

You'll have to let me know how you go mate! If the SR conversion goes well, I may consider it for mine. I'm still weighing up swap options.

 

What'd you pay for your Halfcut, if I may ask?

 

Very keen to see it finished.

I havent got the halfcut yet but got some quote between low 2s to 3500 for an s14

Pretty sure I seen your van around , I think it was rising Sunday ?! Anyways I'll keep an eye on this :) thinking of starting a new nostalgic cruise group seeing as Jdm Wa is invite only and full of dickheads
