Thought id give a little in site in to why Ive got a KE35.
my 1st car was a very nice KE35 coupe moss green only a bit of rust was in the rear boot (wheel arch)
as it was my 1st car i loved it so much.
heres a pic of it and my wife about 7-8 years ago..

ended up a wright off (not my folt)

ever since been looking for one good or bad,
then along came this one from Newcastle..

KE35 coupe
silver metalick (needs clear cote)

things that i need to do..
Ive got to cut the rust out of the bonnet or get a new one

(no luck so far).
then see if i can fix the problem of the bonnet not laching over.
then see if i can find any other problems and go for a blue slip.
then put some clear on it.

then later GZE time

thought id update this.
i got a new hood but is a KE30 hood so the vents are differnt but my wife likes it better so its ok lol..

the old hood (i like these vents better), and the rust..

and now i need a new bonnet lock/latch thing as the old ones FUCKED

and last week i opened the radiator and it was really bad, rust and sludge in it, so drained it out and flushed it out with the hose and put new coolant in.

i got rego and was driving very nice,
and then the heater box decided to start leaking.
so got the shits and tryed to fix it by disconnecting the 2 hoses for the heater and just ran 1 hose to seal it off..

and then the car would not start so connected the hoses back up and it stared running again.

took it for a drive and heater box was leaking worse than be for
so got the shits and riped all the carpet out and back seat and seat belts and most plastic down the bottom
and rear door trims
will be painting all that wile its out
and i would like to get new carpets in as well

and now ive got this....

hopefully i will be getting it in the car next year around February..
need (i think) some things 1st
ke 70 pedal box (for hydraulic clutch) dont know if it will fit in the 35.
engine mounts
new radiateator as old one is FUBAR (geting one from KE Corolla Radiators- $399! )
cut and shut intake manifold
then some one to put it in for me and wire it up (as im a baker not a mechanic)

thanks Craig
