Earlier said: | Updated facts: |
| I have learned one thing with car projects, The project never ends! | Yhea it's time to change wheelberings an rebuild the engine. | ||
 |
 |
And that's why it's so fun! | it have been another fun vinter. |
 |
 |
it's a daily driver now, defenitly not a 402m race car. | It's a good vinter drifter :) |
 |
 The Clarion Componet stereo from -79 fitted..  |
But who knows what might happen...
|
closer to main bering failure now.. |
 |
The car is now painted in the same metalic blue colour as before. I have started to put it back together. The only thing that remains is to repaint the doors. |  |
|
 |
 |
Only some minor fixes left... at this pic, |
|
 |
This is my 1978 Toyota Corolla also known as KE-50. The TE-51 model has the same body. |
 |
Under renovation, it will be painted in the blue original collour. |
 |
It was my grandfather that bought this car
new in 1978. Thats one of the reasons why i keept it. |
 |
Another reason is that I thik it's a cool car, and I just llike the 70's look. |
 |
The engine is an 3C-K 1200cc model. The TE-51 came with a 1600cc, but it was never sold in Sweden what i know... |
 |
The front end of the car was in a bad shape. It had been smashed. The hood and front came from another car with a lot of rust, so I had to replace them again.. |
 |
I had to replace the the floor as well, a lot of rust... |  |
I was planning to fit a 18R-C engine from the celica but ive changed my mind, im looking for a 1600cc engine instead. |
