Kwag70 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 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!! Note: photos taken from carsales add.... will update soon! Enjoy, joe Quote
