Hello rollerclubbers. Just a brief introcuction of myself and my corolla I'm currently using as a daily driver. Iam an avid skyline / corolla fan, electrician by trade and a driving / car mod enthusiast.

 

Recently bought this to get to work in. Its a august 1983 ke70 se. automatic. Come with log book and genuine keys and iam the 3rd owner. 130 thousand something kays on the clock.

 

 

PROS

 

-Clean Interior

-Working Am Radio except when i drive under bridges

-Never been smoked in, until i did. Only used the ciggy ligher once and the ash tray has never been butted in.

-Come with a club lock, a sun visor and a ubd referdex from the 1990's. Havent bothered to use the clublock yet.

-Has a windup jack and a set of competely useless toyota tools.

-The analouge clock keeps accurate time.

 

 

Cons

-Has some rust spots in the boot

-Tyres are old

-Suspension is too soft

-Needs a wheel alignment

Ha Ha, thats identical to mine with the same kilometers too! Keep us posted on the updates. Vinyl interior is nice. But mine is the blue, not the grey like yours. See if you have a Japenese diff underneath. My ke70, for some reason has a T series diff in it which appears to have been there from new as all the red quality check marks are still there. After realising I had a t series in mine I began to look at other ke70s to see if they had the same, and only the Flat front SE models in auto or manual had them, I have seen 3 or 4 since then.

No t series diff in that one...just a borg warner pos.

 

Anyway moved that car on and now I'm caining the tits off this 11/81 xx model. Some you fellas may have seen this thing on ebay a while back. It looked like a pos in the pics there, but the car is practically rust free ! Boot, rear wheel arches engine bay/battery tray are completely void of rust. Which only leaves some very small bits to fix up round the passenger door upper sills.

Any rollerclubbers, wanting some stock shit, saving me a trip to sims metal, come round and pick what you want out of this pile. The front struts have new pads and rotors. Come and get em.
