sure looks like it.

<-------i have a corolla ute in my avtar

Nope... its a rolla.... well, sorta. Its a Toyota, and it has a 4k motor. The Publica chassis (P) preceded and eventually became the Starlet. This particular ute is a KP30 I think... they sold these things right up until 1988 in some asian countries.

Never sold in AU but there's a few survivors in NZ and shiteloads in Asia.

thanks shades you are the closest so far....would appreciate as much info as possible...so far project is going well

As shades said... Toyota Publica ute.

P chassis became Starlet. Rare in .au.

Everyone mistakes them for Datto or Mazda utes.

WoW, looks hot and its in BrisVegas :)

 

Do you have another shot of the front end?? That grille looks so much like my KE30's grille.

I am impressed at how clean it is.... most that I've seen are banged up farm utes...

 

So when are you putting the 12a in :)

Its a Publica ute, Al Palmer here in Sydney has one for his workshop runaround. he imported it from Japan a few years back. Most people think its a 1200 ute. There is a Publica wagon on Ebay for sale at the moment in Victoria. :)

[Jono]

yeah, i've seen one in sydney, driven by a guy who is a panelbeater down at narrabeen. Gav, is this where Al Palmer works?

i thought it was a 1200 ute until i saw the toyota badge on its ass and i got all exited...

I would never pick that out as a Toyota. Tho, the bumper, apron and indicators remind me of a KE2X and the strip that goes around the bonnet/quarters remind me of a KE3X.

 

Who knows, I've probably seen this and just thought its a Datsun. Any tips in telling them apart??

1200's have a quarter vent and window where the toyota has only window....also the front guards are tappered on the toyota where the 1200's are not.. the doors are a little larger and there is more room inside .if all this fails to help you recognise the difference between the two vehicles look at the badges on vehicle i find it's a lot easier lol lol lol lol
