Skellington

Thanks for the welcome. This car is fun to drive. I went to the auto parts store and its a windy road with ups and downs. I had to order some stuff from their warehouse so ill have to go back later (don't threaten me with another good drive). Soon ill tear into the carb and find what is making the idle stumble. I'm gonna let it cool and ill finish up the tune up that was started (oil change air filter etc.). I am excited to start modding / restoring this gem. I'm love'in the 2 door.

Ok guys, It is finally time for me to join you all as I am now the owner of what I would guess is a TE30 (its a TE31) Corolla 1976. I have been a long time lurker but since I bought the car, ill make an account to share this beauty with you all. After looking on ads for a few months looking for the right deal, I found this car for sale for a very low price, and it was ONLY 3.5 HOURS AWAY! The car is a: "Deluxe edition" (whatever that means) 1.6 engine, Automatic 4 (lol I wish, only 3) spd trans, rear defrost (oh yes), and the car has 37k original miles. PO's just purchased the car 3 months ago from the original owner (old lady that lost her licence). The car is VERY well maintained (more of so so) maintenance wise and besides the falling on its genitelia while trying to idle it runs amazing. One of the things it needs is some carb work. It seems as if there is a MAJOR vaccume leak, or it suckked up some junk from the bottom of the gas tank. Compared to a motorcycle, I would guess that the main jet or needle valve would have crap clogging it. I obviously don't know about these perticular carbs, but intend to learn. Ended up getting the car which started the "adventure" home. Stop and go traffic was BAD without an idle and an auto trans. Once I got it on the freeway I hauled balls all the way home. Did not have 1 problem. Here are some pics: And its little OUCH!
