GJM85's KE20.

[GJM85]

Greetings,

My name is Gavin. I live in Beaudesert, Qld. I have always been a Toyota enthusiast, Corolla's in particular. I was driving my old man's '74 KE30 3dr when I first got my licence. I then purchased a sky blue '83 KE70. From there I upgraded to a '84 AE71 Spirit and then to a '90 AE92 Seca which now belongs to my sister.

I have a '04 Camry Sportivo 5sp as the family car, which I might say serves it's purpose perfectly

Now my pride and joy is a '72 KE20 Corolla SE. I purchased the vehicle in August 2010 and have since spent my time restoring and modifying the car. It is some what like an early Corolla hybrid now.

The car is a Nov 1972 ADM 2 door sedan, originally willow green in colour. 1166cc 3k 4sp. Akebono front disc brakes and a Borg Warner 4.111 differential. I understand I am the third owner of the vehicle. And might I say it was in a right state when I bought it. After almost 2 years the car is almost ready to hit the road. Here's the makeup.

Colour: Blue Star Saffire

Wheels: 13x5.5 Cheviot Mesh

Engine: Toyota 5K (bored 0.02" to 1566cc)

Exaust: Hurricane 4-1 extractors & 2" mandrel bend system with 15" glasspack muffler

Driveline: K50 5speed, Exedy Sports Tuff clutch, Shortened KE55 tailshaft & BW 4.11 diff

Suspension: Shortened KE20 struts, Boges VW MK1 short stroke inserts, 55mm Kings Springs, 2" lowering blocks, Boges Gas shocks (by Southside Suspension)

Brakes: KE70 rotors, Girlock Calipers. 229mm rear drums. Bendix pads.

Interior: Reupholstered with black vinyl and 2010 Ford lighting pattern, restractable seatbelts, cut pile carpet, AE92 gear boot, O.B.A steering wheel.

Here's some pics.

I've got some Superlights in the garage but the stick out the guards a little, so once its on the road i'll get them on. It could use some flares though.
