I thought i would start a new thread because i got another ke36 and try make this thread better..

so the car is a Ke36 1976 came with a smokey 3k then swapped it out for a shitty 4k.

first day picking her up

Edited October 23, 201510 yr by Rickeh

forgot to mention when i got the yellow car it came with a grey 2 door ke36 sadly it had to much rust and mum didnt want the house filled with corolla's. so we ended up stripping as much as could in 3 hours. We managed to get the motor (3k) gearbox,windscreen,wheels and some interior parts.

5ish months later she finally start, main hiccup was the previous owner put the wrong bolts in for the exhaust manifold so I had to rethread them. Then the brakes seized so in stead of getting them rebuilt I got my hands on a set of Ke70 struts. I was going use the struts but instead I just used the brakes from them.

Its FINALLY off the jacks and one the ground drove it out on to the grass then washed it :rock:

Went to go park it then it started leaking coolant from the water pump..turned out the gasket was rooted so i cut a new one up and put it back together. No leaks!

Still have to paint the bonnet. (The bar on the white car isnt bolted in)

Awesome to read so far mate, tell your mum she needs to get her priorities straight :D sounds like you've done a bit as well i know i wouldnt be able to get as much done in 3 hours as you did

Cool wagon. Well done. I hope you kept the door glass from the 2 door, its pretty hard to find as it only fits 2 door sedans and panos.

UPDATE - She's now on the road. First drive was shit the carby was clogged,timing was off and it had a exhaust leak. So we drove her to the mechanics and got it all fixed, instead of rebuilding the standard carby i had a 32/36 weber laying around so i got him to rebuild that one. Will get a photo later of the weber

Monday night dad took my car to tennis and somehow the window got smashed :angrybird:

I had some spare doors laying around so changing the glass was easy.

The old window

Drives pretty good now, love the induction sound from the weber and i picked up a 5k the other day :y:

So whats happening with the white wagon?

The white wagon doesnt start need help doing the coil, any ideas on how to get it started?
