ok so out of the blue seen this thing advertised and thought id check it out, ended up driving it home lol

 

already got plans

 

1. Paint job, thinking sky blue or pale british racing green

2. New Dash Pad and tidy up interior

3. New tires, whitewalls with KE25 hubbies

4. Chuck on my extractors and twin solex

5. New Brakes and lowered springs

6. Manual Conversion.

 

and thats it, not doing anything crazy, just keeping it relatively stock for a cool summer daily!

i like your plans, everyone is too quick to jump on the conversion bandwagon they can't appreciate a k motor first

man I love my 3Ks! so rev happy which is good for zipping around. all the 4Ks ive owned were on the average side...

Jesus, how many cars have you got now? You are going to need to change your name to PMP 020 at this rate

lol looks whos talking haha

Looks clean!

 

I reckon original paint will always win

been saving for a rainy day, or others would say hoarding...

 

 

and parrot yes, getting rid of the white ke25, keeping brown one, is better shell, starlet is for sale but so much fun don't really wanna sell, and this will fix up and sell most likely...

Okay i whore/ hoard parts a fair bit, but looks like you're beating me! haha

nice collection of NOS parts there must be alot hidden in a few households on this site :0

Hmmmm yes well.........

 

 

What is that colour. Every corolla I have seen that colour has held up real well. I really don't mind it at all.

More pics?

didnt get time to take more pics, kinda scary going outside at the moment as you guys in VIC would know, amazingly strong winds

 

the colour is just the ordinary bamboo colour D3 if I recall correctly, I had some old guy say they had a sticker on the radiator support saying Bamboo but I have never seen said sticker...

You're not wrong. Sitting here it sounds like the roof is about to lift off.

 

There is KE25 driven by a really old lady, she bought it new, see it regularly in my local shopping centre car park. Hers is the same colour and once again perfect. Offered to buy it and she says she is always getting offers to buy it. Unfortunately she has dinged it a few times recently. Plus there is 74coupe's old car, which i believe is heading north.

cool, yea was interested in his car but cbf with getting it to adelaide.

 

these colours I'm interested in, but I think ill keep the green for my KE25, and do this one a bright pastel colour

 

 

real fan of this blue and the yellow stands out too...

 

 

orange is nice but think bit over done
