Hey guys,

 

My name is Joe and I'm from Sydney! I'm a 2nd year apprentice mechanic and this is my first project car!

 

My ride is a 1984 Toyota Corolla KE70 Wagon which i picked up from canberra for $1500 back in august!

 

Ive checked over the whole car and found it to have no rust, just minor bits of wear and tear which i am in the process of fixing. I'm on my p's until April next year so therefore i can do much as per engine conversion goes so I'm just gonna save up for the engine i want and work on the interior for the moment!

 

My plans in the future are:

 

Interior:

- Sound system (Double Din Kenwood screen with reversing camera, 6.5" Rockford punch series splits front and back which have already been ordered!, Rockford 4 channel to run the speakers, new rockford mono block to run the 2 12" P2's that i want to fit in the back of the wagon!)

 

- Change all of the yellow bulbs in the car to LED white! (not the tacky kind, and still deciding on what colour to do the dash!)

 

- Re-carpet the whole interior (already done and it looks sick!)

 

- New steering wheel (already done, ended up picking up a Autotechnica black one for free so all i had to pay for was the boss kit)

 

- Remake all the door trims.

 

- Possibly power windows.

 

- Paint the dash black (already done but its still cracked)

 

- Get rear seats retrimmed and find new corolla ones for front and get them retrimmmed.

 

- Make new carpet matt for the wagon section.

 

- Paint all interior panels black...ie kickpanel and door sills.

 

- Fix drivers side front window regulator (UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ONE I CAN BUY?!?!?!)

 

- Install central locking/ keyless entry/ possibly remote start

 

And thats all i can think of for the moment :)

 

Exterior/ Engine/ Performance upgrades:

 

- New wheels (not to big and tacky, but nice)

 

- Fix up big scratch on bonnet

 

- 4AGE conversion/ 5 speed gearbox

 

- Decide what diff to get/ what brakes to get

 

- Remove rear black bumper section and weld up two holes that show chassis!

 

- Tint windows

 

- Look into HID's (i know that the headlights arnt projectors but anythinghas to be better than the stocko's)

 

- Re-paint all exterior black panels black again...ie rear c pillar exterior panels

 

And thats all i can think of for the moment

 

here's some photos!!

Enjoy, joe
