So!.... I've had this for a while. A mate of mine said he saw an old corolla his buddy posted and thought I might be interested. Called him and turned out to be a 67' ke10! ????. Long story short, picked it up for a steal and took it to the missus brothers place to store it.

 

I had originally bought the car to use as a doner for my blue 70' ke11 but turns out its a very very straight shell with the normal rust in the spare wheel well and a few tiny spots up front in the sils in front of the door, besides that, I'm stoked! It also has ae86 struts and hubs in there somehow too. A few owners before me has a turbo ca18 in it so it's got a big trans tunnel which suits my plans perfectly!

 

Yesterday after a few months sitting under a tarp, I dragged the missus over to help me start paint stripping the rear guards. Turned out sweet!

 

Here's what's happened so far..

Looks like she's in great condition!

Everything about the car looks 67 but I notice she has the later dash, I thought that only came in late 68??

 

It's mad how often Toyota changed little things on the KE10!

I agree, great condition ! Car looks pretty tidy as well ;)

I'll have to check the plate again. Either way, it's good to have a solid base to put all my stuff from the blue car into

Glad you didn't sell mang!

 

And ken, I had a ke10 which was ke10-32xxx, Early as and had all early features but late dash! Thinking it might be the difference between aus and jap built cars maybe?

Wow this car has changed homes alot since I had it.

All decked out with a ca18 still?

Nah man when i got it, it was a rolling shell.

 

You wouldn't happen to have guards and doors would you joel?

More photos... ..of the missus!

 

You were so lucky to get a shell with such odd things done to it. Still, a gigantic job to complete.

Lol... we were all thinking it Keith :D

Yo Matt, instead of using shitty paint stripper head to bunnings and pick up a 'Strip it disk' for a grinder. Basically looks like a round kitchen sponge. Strips paint in seconds and leaves the panel dead smooth and doesn't heat it up if you don't push hard.. I did my entire celica with one and couldn't be happier. Was like $13

Hahahah!

 

Yeah very lucky not having to much rust, it's a long road ahead still.

The big tunnel is going to come in handy. Just need to see if my engineer will approve it.

 

I'll definatly have a good at that jono!

Update.

 

Went to autobahn next door to work on my lunch break the other day to buy redbull but left with 12ft of hard line, fixtures to suit and some fittings... But no redbull. Progress is progress right?

More progress today on ke10 v2.

 

It was windy as hell so I didn't get to do more body work as I can't paint outside. So I decided to pull apart the blue car more. Now the motor and box are out!

 

Now to start pulling down the motor to give it a freshen up and some more goodies before going into the new shell for mock up ????

I wasn't able to spend to much time in the shed tonight so not much progress as it raining and I couldn't work on stripping the blue car.

 

Motor is getting close to being stripped to be sent away to be cleaned😎
