Rich_Rolla Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Just had a brainwave. How about a ke70 2 door? I did some googling and found 1 photo. I'm just thinking about how I would go about this? Weld the back doors shut...strip the handles and bog up the gaps? Then some customizing inside the back to make a trim to hide the door? Any ideas? This is an idea I'd like to persue. Quote
andro0o Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) have you noticed how much shorter the rear of a dx is? a ke70 with bogged up doors will jsut look like a retarded limo. but best of luck to you sir. Edited February 6, 2009 by andro0o Quote
quadeyquade Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 I think you should try it,it would turn a few heads lol. go for it Quote
SLO-030 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 just import a TE70 (i think that what they're called). that way everythings in proportion :P Quote
hilux05 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) a bloke on ae86dc has done this.. he apparently made longer doors.. looks pretty dam good too.. but yeah like you said weld her up, bog her up, bobs your aunty.. i don't really see the point tho. its still a tissue box, but in saying that, ill get another one one day!!

corolla_bitten Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 if you want to make one, ke70 panel van doors are about 170mm longer, just cut out centre pillar, move back amount required, reweld. seen this done to commodores, falcons. alot of work and engineering required, you have to reinforce doors, back section. would probably end up a 20,000 dollar car before you even start modyfing it. would be alot easier to import a 2 door version, from probably NZ or thailand where they were available, for easily under 10g's.

Budowski Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Its been done in SA and i think it was recently sold too, speak to KKUSTOM and his dad have been dealing with corollas for over 30 years. Quote

eiriksmil Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Are two-door KE70s rare? There's one for sale in Norway right now.. :P Quote
toyota_ae71 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 there was one on ebay recently, might be still on ebay. welded up back doors, looked ok i guess Quote
philbey Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 You people are crazy. Just like this guy Either your car will look like a shitty welded up attempt at replicating the lines of a factory 2 door, or you will spend a house deposits worth on a car that you could have bought factory for less.
