79 AE70 Corolla from NZ

[AE70]

Just getting the final welds and should be getting the car back on Sunday!

Damn, I can't wait to see this car finished! Love the look

[AE70]

Yep fronts need welding. They're BC racing but there's a lot of options available. Have a look at Techno Toy Tuning, they sell a similar set in the US and have a couple of different options. These are for an AE86 so you may find that a different set up will fit better.

Your adjustables... are they weld on??
if so where did you get them from. ive been looking for something i can adapt to weld on for my VK adn if so the look like they may work (depending on diameters ect)
thanks

Cars on point btw :]

[AE70]

The beginning of the headers. There's been a few other updates as well which ill get photos of once these are done, looking so good!

[AE70]

Cheers! Shouldnt be too long now! I should have it all running and ready to go for when the wheels finally arrive in september/october... I hope.

so relevant to my interests. beautiful corolla man.

[AE70]

These arrived today! Can't wait to drop it on the ground. Still haven't got the car back from engineer.

[AE70]

And she's gone. Will come back basically finished.

I took the front lip off so i could get it on the trailer and kinda like it with no lip... Thoughts?

Also, these are just wheels to get the car rolling, not permanent.

Mine are 14x8et0 got them for $375 each

Jelly of your car. I want a quadlight sedan

[AE70]

Nice, im jealous of your Techno Shadows. I'll eventually own some 14x9s or similar, but they go for insane prices! I have a full set of 14x6.5 which are alright, but need wider.

Love your E70 man! Check out mine as well!

[AE70]

Alright, cars off tomorrow for headers, gearbox mount and suspension. Leaving exhaust until I decide what I want to do with it. The headers should be something a bit different, told the guy to go a bit crazy with them, they weren't cheap so want something awesome.

I've gone for AE86 coilovers for front and back. I also went for a shorter kit which should let me lay the car on the ground if I want.

Here's the latest pic of engine bay looking a bit cleaner.


This is a very bad picture I did while at work, I did it on paint, hence b&w but you should get an idea of what it will look like when it's lowered and sitting on the XR4s.
