Hello, About 10 months ago i perchused a blue KE55 coupe, The car was totally standard, had a straight body and 150,000kms on the clock. When i first set out i was going to buy an imported 100kw motor and put it in the 55. When MACCA put his KE55 up for sale which allready had a 86kw 4age I decided to buy that, convert it to manual and drive it around. When i picked up the car and drove it back down to tassie we had some problems but got it down there ok. When we checked it throurghly we found that the body was pretty rough, with both bog and rust and the entire arse end had received a big bump. So we decided to swap all the running gear into the blue corolla which had a strait body and a good interior. Im in the process of doing this now and I just thaught i would show everyone. SO here are the pics

The celica struts and brakes are going in to for some better breaking up front with help from some bendix ultimate pads and rebuilt callipers. All suspension in the blue corolla is handled by monroe gas shocks, 2" lowering blocks in the back and 2" lowered springs in the front. The white corolla had monroe gas shocks in the back which will also be up for sale if anyone wants em oh and lowered springs in the front which will also be sold.
The blue corolla no longer has the super sedan mercedies hubbies and now rolls on celica 14" steelies and 185/60 recaps all round. Other than a sports steerer and sitting a little lower than the average bear the blue corolla should be a bit of a sleeper when its finished up and had a respray.
More updates when progress is made.
