hey ppls, I have cut and pasted this from another forum so pls bear with me if it don't work
we have recently purchased a 71 ke20, ive never had a corolla before, a few ra28's have been my only Toyota's, but this 1 came up for sale at a "reasonable" price and I couldn't help myself.
as you can see from the pics, the engine bay and interior are pretty neat, the passenger seat will be restitched, but I think the cracks in the dash will be staying as can't afford a new 1, carpet in the front is a littlee worn but some new mats will fix that problem, maybe a new front carpet kit might be on the list depending on the cost, I want the car as neat and original as possible, even the original radio works a treat!!
my plans are to respray it, new front shocks, taillights and front indicators, a few new door rubbers, need 2 original seatbelts for the rear, and a basic service and tune, roadworthy and then resell it to some 1 who will appreciate more than me (I'm a rotor fan and am doing this car to help fund my mazda 1200 coupe project)
the body is in pretty bad shape as you can see from the pics, but it will be bare metalled, slapped straight, skim coat of filler and primed and painted, all in quality lesonal 2pak materials,
I know bugger all about these cars except for the fact they look cool and cute, so I might be asking some pretty dumb questions along the way but pls be vigilant, I am knowledgable in some areas, but spelling aint 1 of them!!
here are some pics, hope you enjoy

now the car wont be started on for a while,maybe around 6weeks, I'm just gathering parts at the mo and we have a s2 rx7 in the shed , that needs painting and put back to water tight before I can get this in the shed, ive spent over 200 hrs on the 7 so far and I'm not leaving it out in the weather till its all done (except the engine bay as we can't afford the to rebuild it as yet)
will keep updating as parts arrive and as progress gets going
thanks for viewing

the above posts were put up on another forum over the last few months, that's why the timeframes don't add up, since I the last post I have got the front end in epoxy, stripped the bootlid and started panelbeatingthe doors, I will put up some more pics when I get a chance.
just thought I would share my work, pls feel free to comment and give me advice, I need all the advice and help possible!! krem |
