Hi all im very new to this site and the whole owning a corolla, i have wanted a KE70 for a long time as a project on the side/track car, i could never find one cheap enough to consider buying as i had my main car taking all my money every week its a Ford BA Fairmont that im turbo charging over christmas.
Anyways back to my KE. i searched and searched for weeks in the papers, Internet carsales, forums and picked up a Defected KE of the forums for a miserly $250 it needs some work and some love but a low price like that i couldn't let it go. So tow trucked it back to my place where i will try to get it back in RWC and pass regency lol and have a nice daily.
