Project: 'swift' - Ke70 84' Corolla

[deception345]

G'Day Rollas,

 

This is my introduction and entry for my KE70 code name 'Swift'. This baby is my first car and I absolutely love her! The car has been in our family for 30 years, most of which it's been in a garage for 20 of them and is still in pretty much perfect condition. I have done some work on the car since I have received it. I'm not very good with cars but I think this car is the perfect to start to learning on. I'll be using this thread as my way of tracking and logging my progress.

 

As of right now the current upgrading and modifications I'm looking at are..

• Upgrade the stock sound system, Hopefully install sub and amp too.
  
• Replace tachometer from KE70 with a AE-71 (RPM Meter & Digital Clock combo)
  
• Re-carpet boot, Reseal holes and remove excess glue and gunk.
  
• New Paint job, Respray to a Glossy Cherry/Apple Red.
  
• Replace stock bumpers with chrome bumpers
  
• Replace stock head and tail lights, however still unsure which set. Rounded possibly?
  
• Find lip body kit for front. Need to research more to find sellers.
  
• Replace stock rims, however still unsure which set?
  
• Upgrade the engine to either a 4AGE or SR20. Including suspension, breaks and axis of course. :rolls:
  
• Upgrading the exhaust, however still unsure which one?
  

Being everyone here is an expert compared to me, what upgrades would you recommend that aren't too expensive? :D
