Hey guys, I'm new here and just purchased myself some form of Corolla.

I'm under the impression that it is a KE30, 1977?

 

I've tried googling but cannot seem to pin-point the exact year/make.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

yeah buddy, you just got yourself a cool little ke30!

I'm stoked!

Would you happen to know the year, I cannot figure it out.. owner claims 1977.

The build date should be on the build plate.

I haven't taken delivery yet, the only plate I seen is the one pictured.

It's a complete car, everything is inside or in the boot.

 

Pretty happy!

Does anyone know what wheels these are?

The ones on the front are Dragways or a copy of them.

As above. Beat me to it.

 

The front one is known as Dragways or Splats. It could have Dragways written in the centre part near the wheel bolts. If not they are copies

Wow thanks!

I've got a set of four, decent condition.

The corolla is home with me now, started sorting through everything.. has plenty of spares

3 grilles, alternators, the rear vent insert?, tail light sets, clusters, dash surrounds..

There should be another plate somewhere in the engine bay with the build date. Looks like after 1976 with the bonnet vents and the style of interior. Probably got the later style dash. Got any engine bay shots?

Yeah, it's 1977, checked the plates today :)

I'll get some more photos tomorrow, gotta keep sorting all the parts.

What you'll be after is the compliance plate which will be located above the brake booster. It'll have the build date of the car (month and year) the ADR rules the car complies with and yadda yadda.

I'm not even going to bother guessing a year. If its a late model your lucky its a manual if you want to swap in a five speed manual or your unlucky if your planning on swapping in the trimatic.

It's 1977.

 

Nah, keeping it manual but just the four speed.

Today I got stuck into it and removed all the seats etc. Can't figure out how to remove the dash just yet.

The dragways are copies, nothing stamped on them anywhere!
