Another project beckons (details TBA), and so a few of our other vehicles have to "make way". (Including the Celsior - advertised here and open to offers - and an immaculate '97 VFR750).

Anyway, we are also going to part with our little 'Rolla.

Details are:

1982 KE70 XX Corolla in blue.
100KW 4AGE engine conversion in 2002.
4-2-1 headers into 2.5" system
Fully engineered
body is straight, but has a small amount of rust (nothing major, and is unchanged since we bought the car - advantage of living in Canberra, I guess. I'm just too lazy to get off my arse and properly fix it!)
has all OEM wheels (13" alloys) and now runs identical-looking 14" alloys from a XX Corona (bought so that we can run wider, lower profile rubber, without it being obvious - car is a sleeper, after all )
Some other spares include tail-lights, front rotors and calipers (still attached to struts), alternator. Doesn't have a radio installed (OEM one doesn't work, and the one which was fitted when we bought it isn't much better. Can supply the 2nd radio plus an MX73 Cressida unit, if someone wants to chuck that in )
Engine runs well, doesn't appear to blow any smoke and goes hard. Recently replaced the T50 with another unit (still have original T50 which has knackered bearings - suit reco).

Have been slowly retro-fitting A/C to the car - interior unit is in, Compressor is in and evaporator unit is also fitted, now needs to be wired and have hoses/gas fitted etc)

This little car was originally bought to use as a commuter in 2002 and has been our daily driver ever since. We've put approx. 64,000kms on it since then, and it has never let us down. It's a great little car which is relatively cheap to run and has a bit of poke (a fair bit more than an OEM-engined one, anyway )
I have serviced it with oil and filters every 5000kms using Ryco filters and HPR15 oil. Fitted Iridium plugs approx. 6 months ago and an air filter at the same time. Coolant was replaced approx 8 months ago (Toyota Type IV). Tyres are in good condition with approx 80% tread.

Would suit someone who wants a reasonably quick car which doesn't attract attention, but which can be used as the basis for a real build-up project down the track. (4AG-Z/TE?)

Rego till August 04 (ACT).

Asking $3000 ONO. (Most of the conversion bits and pieces cost almost that much).

Need to sell quickly as we have decided on the project car we want to get, and I made an offer this morning (which was accepted) = need $$.

Photos available soon. enquiries to biased99@hotmail.com or 'phone 0402898777

Forgot to add, new shocks and struts were fitted around 8 months ago, along with a reco'd steering rack.
