Hy Jip!
First of all sory of my english! I'm from Budapest, Hungary (middle Europe).
Congratulate for your projects! I respect you, because these were giant work, made endless time, and costs horrible money!
I'm a president of the Corolla Club Hungary. We've more than 100 members. Most of the cars are more than 18 years 8/ We've some oldies (some KE70, TE71, 2 KE50, and a KE30.) If you interested in, check our site: http://corolla-club.hu The webdesign is not the best, but i working on it. You find the members in "Tagok" , and our trips, meetings, galleries, in "Galéria".
So what i write for you.
Yesterday i bought a TE51. I found it more than a half year before, but i could bought is just yest. I love him. He was used in Switzerland at the beginning still '78 (when he was born) After moved to Hungary in '92. In our country we had diverse climate, and i think the Cory never had a garage :wink: , so the body is very bad conditioned. In the middle of summer I'll start that project. I try to search a donor, but in whole of Hungary only 4-5 KE50-TE51 are. So it was impossible.
The interios and the body are deective too :sob: For example the right chrome headlight bezel, the chrome side lines, the glove box is broke, the right tail light is broken too.
So do you have any parts for me from your garage, or a salvage yard? Or could you advise me somebody?
It would be big help for me! So can we tell something business?
I show some pics from the 30 years car :)
The original colour was brown. It has a 2T with a 3 gear automatic transmission!!! :cool: it works really bad, but i decided to repair, because it's rarity, and the driving with it takes me the best feeling :) Are somebody adept at the AT transm?
That TE51 is my 5th Rolla. My first car was an E8 Liftback(Seca) DX with 4A, after I bought an E9 Seca GL with 4A-F, after i bought a donor E9 Seca Gt-i (SX) to rebuild my GL to a GT-i. During i bought an AE86 SR, but i have to sell it :sob: and the "new Lift Back" will be my new project.
Look the left wheeled dashboard, and the MANIFOLD VACUUM. (Cruising, accelerate, and power) :dance:
