Dutchrolla Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Time for the first changes.. i want the KE to be stock OEM. Removed the double pipe exhaust. Replace the complete rear and middle section of the exhast by a new, genuine Toyota one. And fitted a chrome tip (don't have picture of) Edited May 19, 2013 by Dutchrolla Quote
Dutchrolla Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Took the aftermarket grille with foglights out and replaced by a brand new, original grille... Added a chrome trim too. Around the wheel arches and on the back is also aftermarket chrome trim.. that is fitted so nice by former owner that i keep it that way. Same for the "Coupé" badge. All other chrome parts like the bumpers and door handles are very rare on a KE70 Coupe. I think the former owner upgraded the car once because normally these parts were always black.

Dutchrolla Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Radio... i took the one with LCD display out and replaced it by a vintage Panasonic one. Got my hands on a genuine double-set of TEN radio and cassette so will put that one in soon. A Pity it is missing 1 knob.. Quote
Dutchrolla Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Latest modification is without any pictures... The car had a 4-speed manual gearbox.. and i found a revised K50 gearbox (right, time, right place, right part!) so now it got a 5-speed gearbox. Quote
Dutchrolla Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Posted May 19, 2013 Still to do : Wheels and tires : Tires have enough profile but are very old, needs new ones. Also, i already got a set of genuine TE71 rims (as on picture), they only need to be restored first. Steering wheel : Already looking for a while to find one : a leather steering wheel of a TE71... ---> If someone knows one, please contact me!! Lock and keys : Make all locks go with same key and have spare key.. Rev dash cluster : I have found a dash cluster of a TE71 with rev counter. Have to find out if this will work in my 4K KE70 Quote
