July 2, 201214 yr comment_613333 Hey all, After a while away from the car scene I made the decision I was going to downgrade my current car (vw golf) and get back into an old reliable Toyota. I was after a clean, stock as possible looking car as I'm currently STILL on my p's. Obviously it had to be cheap to run and parts somewhat common. So my quest lead me through the forums and even onto the old gum tree where i found this. From first glance it looked a winner, Clean and cheap. But it was not until after i handed over the cash i truly appreciated how well this car had been looked after. Original papers from purchase, original manuals, handbooks, tool kit from Toyota and the receipts of work done to the car in previous lives. I must give a shout out to the two guys that previously owned this in Toowoomba, and did most of the work to it. Specs: 1981 xt130e corona cs 1x Starfire engine (holden) 4 speed manual white in color lowish Whitewalls original interior I have not got a chance to get any new pictures of the car itself but these should hold you guys at bay till i get around to it Hayden Report

July 5, 201214 yr Author comment_613748 Looks good, didnt realise you had it at AJD. She was there alright, tucked right up the back :) Great example of a xt130! More photos? More photo's coming dude, it has a great interior so intend on keeping it smick and having detailed photo's. I have noticed there is very limited info and photo's for this model so I'm trying to take as many as i can and upload for future reference. First plan of attack this weekend is to raise the rear end, just to the king springs. Police are hammering p plater's on the coast atm so I'm trying to keep this on the road legally Report

Took me a whole 10 minutes to replace springs. STOKED! once again excuse that I'm not a photographer with my pictures :) Edited July 7, 201214 yr by Chillin Report
