grunweiBus Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 Hi all 'rolla fans. My name is Benz, come from Bangkok, Thailand. I've got rusty corolla ke11 for four months ago, it's now on restoration.. It's my first 'rolla so I will have many questions as my expectation is to let it be shine and close to showroom condition as much as I can. ;-) Any comments are welcome. see my first topic registered as member of ke1x http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=10704&st=75 Thanks in advance.

Chobis Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 going on....somebody's told me that grille is for Sprinter..right? Hey grunweiBus and welcome to the forum. What an exciting project you have. Here in Australia we got very few of the four door KE1x's. Even though you have a lot of work to do it will certainly be worth it. Make sure you keep putting up progress pics as you go. I'm sure there will be people here able to help you with all your questions. Yes.... that grille you have is off a Sprinter. :) Quote

grunweiBus Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, This is my 1970 corolla ke11 with new finishing, it was done at the end of year 2009. She is being my family car, we drive her almost everyday not just on holiday. I am currently finding some missing parts to give her more beautiful in detail, e.g. original steering wheel (ke30 is used) But nowadays, quite difficult to have a good condition original parts. The ones they have are not good. Does anyone know where can I get that stuffs for my 'rolla? Cheers, Benz Edited March 25, 2011 by grunweiBus Quote

67Rolla-Ken Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Very tidy looking car! A "wanted" thread on Rollaclub listing the parts you require is a good place to start. Also, keep an eye out on Ebay. Quote
Jono.C Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 great job, looks so much better than when you started, from the looks of it though that badge isn't for that grill? Quote
