bennymac Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Hey blokes, this is my first old Corolla finally replacing the Classic Toyota hole left in my life after the Ta22 was stolen. It's a 2TGEU (yes EFI!!) 1976 Ke35 hardtop. Was owned by an older woman for the most part, rebuilt by her husband 10 years ago. It then went to some teen for a year and now it's here. Bought as a daily while I am finishing my not as classic ae86. In pretty decent condition overall, needs a tune and maybe a wheel bearing but that's about it. Thankfully almost no rust. I hate rust. Sadly its on stilts already due to my front Ssrs not fitting, but when I get the wheels on I'll get some better shots. Initial plans are fender mirrors, chin spoiler, ducktail, somewhat lower Anyway, photos - (updated) Edited August 15, 2013 by bennymac Quote
nerfbat Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 love it mate..! can't wait to see her with her shoes on nice engine choice too Quote
corollaart Posted July 20, 2013 Report Posted July 20, 2013 Wow thats a tidy 35 ,look after it there hard to find in that condition now. Quote
Chillin Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 What are the wheels? the colour looks very familiar! Quote
TOYOCOUPE Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 nice to c another ke35, love the ducktail idea :yes: Quote
bennymac Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Posted July 21, 2013 Ssr mk3s, originally intended for the ae86 but that wont be done for a while so I thought I'd make the most of it Drove it the freeway today, so sketchy. Bonnet latch popped at 110 and actually shat myself. Also sounded like I was driving in a hurricane. Nostalgic life Quote
Skellington Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Wow. Nice car. So that is what my paint would look like if it wasnt trashed. Quote
bennymac Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Posted July 22, 2013 don't think the colour is original actually, was resprayed 10 years back but its holding up fairly well Quote
bennymac Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 Hills run resulted in gears popping out, rear end jumping around and once again a brown seat. However, picked up Ke70 calipers for some much needed wheel fitment and braking improvement. Quote
bennymac Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Posted August 15, 2013 finally got some photos with wheels on - suss Quote
Chillin Posted August 16, 2013 Report Posted August 16, 2013 Looks Tight! What are the plans for the suspension setup? and brakes? Quote
bennymac Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Posted August 16, 2013 Turns out I'm going to Europe at the end of the year so I'll just drive it and sell it. So far I just put some ke70 calipers on.. Quote
