ke2020 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hay guys just got my new 26 wagon. It's a one owner log book car with a genuine 37000kms on the clock. It's completely standard with near perfect paint and interior. The only two things the old fella changed were the hub caps and steering wheel (wich are genuine Celica) I will be parting with these if anyone is interested. Plans for the wagon are to leave the paint and interior as is. I was going to do a rotary but we already have one of these going around so I will be building a fj20 with a manual for it. Keep you all posted with pics threw out. I hope you enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke20rolla Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Put the original hubcaps back on it and keep it stock. There's not enough original old corolla's around, especially wagon's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke2020 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 It's a tough call man. Do I find a beaten down 26 and fix all the stuff wrong with it like rust etc paint it interior and so on or just keep this build clean.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'd feel bad doing anything to that car. Far to nice. In saying that, it's your car not ours. If it does go a highly modified route keep it looking stock/sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorollaFan Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's one nice wagon bud, clean as, if it was me i would keep a k motor in it or if i was going somthing more powerful keep it Toyota. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke2020 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Cheers for the comments guys. Appreciate it. I am keeping the full sleeper look. No cage no nothing. All orig interior orig paint and all. I will have to mod the trans tunnel that's it. Even then I will paint it the bamboo colour. The aircon works better than my Hilux aircon hahahahahah and yes once I start building I will be parting with the aircon, hubcaps and steering wheel.

ke2020 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Took her out for a cruise on Sunday. Had the aircon pumping. Did a 300km round trip and she didn't skip a beat. This car is unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoRolla Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Just noticed I have the same steering wheel in my 26 panelvan... it looks good I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke2020 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've changed it back to a stock ke20 steering wheel and just got my self some stock hubbies and wheels. Going to get them white walled this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Why FJ20? They were a great engine back in the day, but if you are going to the trouble of doing a conversion why not do it with something more modern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzzo Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I vote stock aswell. Historic rego and just cruise it. If you were going to modify it, try to keep the body unmodified and you can put all the parts back and sell it for top dollar still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
