Lappy's Corolla

[lappy]

Well i have had this KE30 for about 2 weeks now but have only just made a project topic

it has a 4K with a 4 speed gearbox

it has run into a bollard we think it has damaged the right front gaurd aswell another incident i think. It is unlicencsened we bought it at auction. Plan is to get it on the road then make it look nice.

Hey man.. sweet KE30.. seems every bloke i know seems to have/want one of these, but no-one seems to do anything like that to them..

 

I can tell anyone, that this is going to be one f@$king sweet KE30 :).. are you going to do any major changes (eg driveline) to the car?

umm not sure maybe a long time down the track but mission 1 to get it road liscenced so 2 new doors and the right front gaurd is rusted at the bottom so fix them up and the leaky diff and it should be right.

speedway rolla says " Drop a race motor in there!" lol

I would'nt of thought a Ke30 would be too hard to get over there it seems every street i take i see a K- series corolla...anyway good find.

[lappy]

nice thought lol Ke30's arent hard to come by but a gud one is hard to find where we are because we are soo close to the coast the salt air gets all the cars

I'll take my KE55 right hand drivers side door off if you want (its here if you need it), but it'll be the back two that are rusty (am I right?)...

looks like things are going good beside the rust lol gay,, looks to be a good project..nice!

[Dan]

Going well dude, shame about the rust; bloody corollas seem to get it something chronic.

Haven't pulled a diff out from underneath the car, yet. What sort of works in it, I remember when I did it with a car leaning up against the tree, all I had to undo was the tailshaft, eight bolts that attached it to the leaves (were they U bolts, hmm, can't remember) and the shockies... is that all that needs to be done? And how long does it usually take ya man?

 

Cheers for any help man.
