Hey blokes, this is my first old Corolla finally replacing the Classic Toyota hole left in my life after the Ta22 was stolen. It's a 2TGEU (yes EFI!!) 1976 Ke35 hardtop. Was owned by an older woman for the most part, rebuilt by her husband 10 years ago. It then went to some teen for a year and now it's here. Bought as a daily while I am finishing my not as classic ae86. In pretty decent condition overall, needs a tune and maybe a wheel bearing but that's about it. Thankfully almost no rust. I hate rust.

 

Sadly its on stilts already due to my front Ssrs not fitting, but when I get the wheels on I'll get some better shots.

 

Initial plans are fender mirrors, chin spoiler, ducktail, somewhat lower

 

Anyway, photos - (updated)

love it mate..!

can't wait to see her with her shoes on

nice engine choice too

That would be a lot of fun!

Wow thats a tidy 35 ,look after it there hard to find in that condition now.

What are the wheels? the colour looks very familiar!

nice to c another ke35, love the ducktail idea

:yes:

Ssr mk3s, originally intended for the ae86 but that wont be done for a while so I thought I'd make the most of it

 

Drove it the freeway today, so sketchy. Bonnet latch popped at 110 and actually shat myself. Also sounded like I was driving in a hurricane. Nostalgic life

Wow. Nice car. So that is what my paint would look like if it wasnt trashed.

don't think the colour is original actually, was resprayed 10 years back but its holding up fairly well

Hills run resulted in gears popping out, rear end jumping around and once again a brown seat. However, picked up Ke70 calipers for some much needed wheel fitment and braking improvement.

finally got some photos with wheels on - suss

Looks Tight! What are the plans for the suspension setup? and brakes?

Turns out I'm going to Europe at the end of the year so I'll just drive it and sell it. So far I just put some ke70 calipers on..
