wenisman Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 The car has a fair bit of rust, I'm making patch panels and welding them in as I go. The front and rear shocks were collapsed so they are getting a complete rebuild. I should start a build post... I bought the ball joint press kit from super cheap. So it was a proper press. The press tube was a little shallow and left an impression on the bottom of the ball joint but it seemed only cosmetic. These were the ball joints, https://www.autosurplus.com.au/toyota-corolla-1200-1400-1600-ke20-ke25-ke26-lower~8943 But the new ones are ordered, so hopefully this weekend it'll be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hi Geoff, Did you make those lower front guard panels yourself, or buy them from Rare Spares, who I know used to make them for early Corollas, as they were such a rust catch point ? P.S. Start a Build Post on here. Always good to inspires others to have a go, when they see others attempting the same jobs. Cheers Banjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenisman Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 No I built them from scratch. I'm spending time at motorretro and they are teaching me to make the parts and old school panel beating and metal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wenisman Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Thanks banjo, I originally tried to purchase from them but they were out of stock at the time. They said they were changing owners and so things were a bit delayed. So I just made them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
