May 19, 201313 yr Author comment_656463 Time for the first changes.. i want the KE to be stock OEM. Removed the double pipe exhaust. Replace the complete rear and middle section of the exhast by a new, genuine Toyota one. And fitted a chrome tip (don't have picture of) Edited May 19, 201313 yr by Dutchrolla Report
May 19, 201313 yr Author comment_656466 Took the aftermarket grille with foglights out and replaced by a brand new, original grille... Added a chrome trim too. Around the wheel arches and on the back is also aftermarket chrome trim.. that is fitted so nice by former owner that i keep it that way. Same for the "Coupé" badge. All other chrome parts like the bumpers and door handles are very rare on a KE70 Coupe. I think the former owner upgraded the car once because normally these parts were always black.

May 19, 201313 yr Author comment_656468 Radio... i took the one with LCD display out and replaced it by a vintage Panasonic one. Got my hands on a genuine double-set of TEN radio and cassette so will put that one in soon. A Pity it is missing 1 knob.. Report
May 19, 201313 yr Author comment_656470 Latest modification is without any pictures... The car had a 4-speed manual gearbox.. and i found a revised K50 gearbox (right, time, right place, right part!) so now it got a 5-speed gearbox. Report
May 19, 201313 yr Author comment_656471 Still to do : Wheels and tires : Tires have enough profile but are very old, needs new ones. Also, i already got a set of genuine TE71 rims (as on picture), they only need to be restored first. Steering wheel : Already looking for a while to find one : a leather steering wheel of a TE71... ---> If someone knows one, please contact me!! Lock and keys : Make all locks go with same key and have spare key.. Rev dash cluster : I have found a dash cluster of a TE71 with rev counter. Have to find out if this will work in my 4K KE70 Report
