1980 Corolla Wagon

[User]

I just picked up a 1980 Corolla wagon, All in all she is in good shape. 176.000 miles on her with no real problems.

I am thinking about putting some "15" inch rims on and was wondering if the lug pattern on the car was 4x100.

I will be replacing the interior and was wondering if you guys knew of any legit places to order new carpet/door panels and dash caps.
The exterior is in good shape. Some light rust on the drivers door and a couple dings.

Thanks for any help.

if i'm not mistaken, the bolt pattern for that particular model is 4x114.3

The bolt pattern is 4x114.3, Konig rewind's are a common cheap rim (they actually look good), but I don't know if they have them in 15's



jcwhitney.com has carpet and dashpads, I know you can find a cheaper place though.

Thanks. I checked jcwhitney out last night and its $169-200 for a kit that covers to the back seat. Not the cargo area. New pads are around 70-120. I want to redo the interior in black and repaint the outside of the car a light Sunbelt Green.

The koing rims look very good. I will check some out.

Has anyone swapped out the stereo? If so how did you mod the dash molding so that a new stereo's faceplate would not be covered?

those konig rewinds look a lot like the rota RBs, there's only a slight difference in the shape of the spokes. the rota RBs are available in 13, 15 and 16 inch diameter. you can check those out too.

This is what I am looking at so far.

And custom fit carpet, for $179.00

Door panels/handles and carpet for the cargo area are next. Stereo and speakers are in line sometime down the road.

They're all copies of the Minilites from the 60s that were available in the Austin Minis, Brands who copied them

Watanabe
Panasport
Black Racing (I got a set)
Wedsport
Rota
Konig

Rotas and Konigs are cheaper and easier to find as they're newer production, the other brands are either expensive or hard to find.

My seats in my te72 have seperate headrests. You may want to get some seat covers like that if they have headrests. It will look better (I got the whole seat covers lol)

EDIT: Like so...

It looks like I will be painting her this weekend/first of next week. It will take 3 to 5 weeks to get carpet. So far I am having a bitch of a time finding a new/used rear pass side turn signal cover. Can I use a differnt year models turn signal cover?

Great! Post up pics if you can!

I have a pair, but I don't think they will fit the wagon.
