Ke35 - 4agze On Its Way

[sleepy92]

This has been a work in progress since early 2006. Finally its looking like happening.

 

I've been planning something along the lines of the ChrisGT ke35 for over 2 years now. Stay tuned. For now i'll post some pictures of the ke35. Should be getting started on the project within the next month or so. Donor car pictures soon, and hopefully soon after that, project pictures!

 

PRESENT:

 

1978 Toyota Corolla ke35 hardtop (with a nice little 4k & 5spd gb)

 

There's a little bit of rust, faded paint and a few dents, but it is a 30 year old vehicle. Interior has been swapped from original turd brown. Now it has a charcoal carpet with cream vinyl seats and door cards. Centre console has been removed and I'm keen to hear from some people about swapping in the ke70 centre. Front springs are lowered king springs (low or superlow, not sure). Rear leafs are yet to be reset. Some of you longer term members will remember where the wheels came from :)

 

 

FUTURE:

 

Engine:

AE101 4AGZE (with SC14 - eventually)

T50 gearbox

TA22 diff (hoping to put an LSD in)

 

Interior:

300zx or WRX seats

re-trim existing rear seats and new front seats in white/cream leather or vinyl

oil pressure/boost/tacho gauges in place of the stock radio

 

 

There's heaps more i want to do but i'm tired and i've probably forgotten something. Feel free to make suggestions

(apologies for dodgey phone camera pictures)

You have an absolute little gem right there my friend

 

Admiration is a must with this little car :)

[sleepy92]

thanks... yeah i'm in love :)

 

its a little rough in the body, and a 2megapixel phone camera in poor fluro lighting at night covers over a lot of blemishes... but still, i'm in love

never was a fan of the 35's, but you may have just changed my mind

Nice dude, so where are ya located?? Brisbane??

[sleepy92]

nope... halfway between newcastle and gosford

 

but i can see why you would have made that mistake - it was last registered in Qld

 

mitch - glad you're taking a liking to the 35. i love the wheels too. got them from ChrisGT last year - he sold them after he got some nice dish rims

cars looking good mark, the wheels seem to suit your car alot better than mine. I think its because of the back pin strip.

I agree!!

[Doogs]

And I agree as well !

 

Very nice mate, the stripe and rims do it for me :)

[JiP]

i want a copy of those stripes for my hardtop!! :)

[sleepy92]

thanks guys

 

thats the stocko stripe...

 

i'm going to follow that stock layout/theme eventually when i repaint it, but the engine/drivetrain is coming first

 

colour scheme options:

 

bright canary yellow with black stripe

 

gloss black with white stripe

 

light green (as seen on the 2006 Aurion) with white stripe
