it's not hard to find parts for 'em you just have to know where to look. more information on the car might be a little helpful. "peanut" doesn't really say much! is it a KE or a TE?

[kso_888]

thanks for your reply.i think its a te21 with 3k engine.

[micro214_kp61]

if you have a 3K then you have a KE30 not a TE21. if you have a TEXX you should have a 1.6L 2T motor hence the "T" in TEXX.

post a pix or a car similar to it then we'll know better. where are you located? if it's in the Philippines maybe the motor was swapped already.

wel,im nt sure.i dunno if im gonna buy dt car.the car was "non-operational".the owner told dt it is nt registrd for 2 yrs ,do you wil it cost me 100 bucks up?he's js offerin 500 for the car bt i wil nt be buyin it at 500 mayb 200-300 coz i wil take the risk dt clutch is the problem.m i right?do you think its worth it to buy wel in fact its nt a te27?the car was all stock even the rims ideal for restoration bt......worthless ryt?thank you very much

[kso_888]

btw,im in us ryt now.3k engine.

[micro214_kp61]

dude.. don't think just becoz it's not a TE27 then it's garbage. KEs and TEs with the same model years are basically the same. just the difference in engines and some body panels. any car under $500, if it's from the '70s is worth it if you ask me. i'm old school inside out. grab it, if you can try to bargain some more but there is hope even with a 3K. go get it man, unless it's rusted to hell!

Ugh, I hate reading messages posted on the internet in TXT-language.

[kso_888]

sorry sir.it wil nt happen again.

[kso_888]

btw,the owner told me that there are problems with the starter,need to replace driver seat and clutch.i asked the owner if he can give it at 250 because i wil take the risk of buying a car that i dnt even turn on the engine once we close our deal.correct me sir if im wrong.my computations are:
250 -car itself
150 - towing serv
150 -clutch
100 -starter

so it will cost me about 650 irregardless of the paint and other repairs.i still dont knw yet his 3kc engine.thank you very much.your reply will be a great help.

dude.. best bet is to take pix then post it here. and try to get a good mechanic that knows old corollas to help you with the inspection. but either way if you have room to store it get it then just start collecting the parts you need. there are a lot of guys that has a lot parts for these cars. try buy and sell forum at club4ag.

yeah we had our mechanic.regarding the model i think its ke20 with a square tailight.i wil try to post pic its quite far from my place but im gonna buy it once the owner decided about my offer.youre right that ke and te are almost the same.i saw some pics of those although not a 1974 but im pretty sure its worth it.thank you very much.i will keep you updated once i have the car.im just worried about the parts.thank you very much.

no worries... remember if you can't get parts in the states, there's always Philippines you know, hehehehe! goodluck bro and keep us updated.

btw, if it's a KE20 then it can't be a 1974. KE20s are from 1970-1973. the KE30s are from 1974-1976 (i think!)

[kso_888]

the owner called he asked to add for a 50bucks to my offer 250.definitely,it will cost about a thousand dollars for that thats why im looking for other options.thank you very much.
