July 12, 201610 yr comment_705449 nice bro......so good to see a coupe getting a resto. I'll be getting some of grants trim here in NZ for my ke25. We didn't get the te27 here so I've imported bits from Japan and running ae86 gear and a Blacktop 4age. I'm only at the early stages though :) Report
July 25, 201610 yr Author comment_705625 thank you both for the kind words and support. I call grant the Angel of Corolla skins. recently got front and side glass in as well as chrome trims.....failed on rear glass. installer says the rubber is wrong. I have two sets and both are the same size. does anyone on that side of the globe have any knowledge of this issue.....anyone have rubber that will work for this TE27/KE25.

July 26, 201610 yr Author comment_705643 i just ordered a rear rubber from Cabe Toyota in Long Beach, Ca. they have known good repro's. I did not know they had the rubber....I would have gone there first. hope to have by this weekend and try again. Report
August 3, 201610 yr Author comment_705772 just wanted to reiterate that these are grants first ever attempt at door cards...I worked with him a bit with dimensions but he put these together. they fit perfectly and by that I mean....when you are aligning the clips and plastic holes...it is perfect....who does that? with his seat skins and these door cards.....my interior is the poop.....thanks grant!

September 19, 201610 yr comment_706380 ahh woodgrain dash?! Thought all the TE27's were black interiors? Edited September 19, 201610 yr by aalaws Report
September 19, 201610 yr Author comment_706381 only the '73 and '74 SR5's had the wood grain dash. that, along with the 10 bolt rear end, the center console are what make the SR5 very desirable and rare. did the KE25's come with the wood grain? thinking I have seen gauge clusters for sale with this style.
