My 1969 KE10 Corolla, 2-door sedan. Currently in paintshop. Doing a full restoration. This one is the crown jewel:

My 1969 KE11 Corolla, 2-door sedan. Currently building an engine for it and plotting its circuit/hillclimb future. It very probably won't be road-registered:

My former partner's 1974 KE26 Corolla, 5 door wagon. Her daily driver. Will become mine when she buys another car. I can't wait, it's such a lovely little car to drive, especially since we put a freshly rebuilt and mildly warmed engine in it:

More pics of all of these cars (and quite a few others) here:

hey.. some great classics there!!

[indigoid]

Yes. Old cars are the only allowed location for chrome. New cars are not. Chrome anything, including wheels, on modern cars looks IMHO ridiculous 100% of the time. Often looks retarded on old cars, too.

We Aussies are lucky. The Yanks got big ugly square bumpers with big ugly rubber padding bits for most of their old Corollas, particularly in the 1970/80s. Utterly spoiled the looks.

When I first saw the white 2-door pictured above, I immediately thought "bloody hell, why was I wasting time and money on modern Corollas?", and of course bought it on the spot :D They are classics

What are those rims on the white wagon.

I am after some that look similar to that, but they have to fit torana and corona.

Ill most probably have 2 different wheels on mine if i do put the torana kabana diff in. I might even go for a spot of hillclimbin as well. :D
