Sorry nothing yet, still organising a few things for it first. Going to be restoring a few like hubcaps and parts like that and try round up a few more things while I sort out some other cars I have to do.

Very sad news, the cars storage is running out I have less then three weeks left it seems to find some new storage otherwise the old girl will sadly have to move on. We had to sell our biggest workshop and are now left with only two small workshops so all our personal car storage has been starved. My RX7 drag car is now up for sale, and I am now only left witrh my KE30 Corolla daily driver I am giving the treatment. All family garages are full and no one seems to know anything so really its at the desperation level now.
It's going to be really disappointing and hurt to let her go but other wise the old girl would just wither away and be lost for good so I would rather see her go to a good home, was dreaming of the day I take it out for it 50th anniversery.
Fingers crossed,
Peachey

Considering the fact that I know(well I think) it would be in safe hands, I would be happy to, although I have already spent alot of money shipping it around the place and storing it I couldn't afford to send it overseas. Plus I wanna see it done  Who knows, there is still a tiny glimmer of hope I may just find something. |

Yup, hope you can find somewhere to stash it. You don't need much space! Such a fantastic, dinky little thing. I do like weird small cars!

Hope you find somewhere to put it (I thought Oz was quite a big place? ) If not then I hope a new owner cheishes it. It needs preserving!  |

Well had a great week and seems I get to keep the car ;D it cost me two cartons of bundy and coke and 2 of VB, and is gonna cost me about $100 bucks every few weeks for the storage but atleast I get to keep it.
Hopefully take the engine out soon and it will be getting a full and detailed rebuild, and also trying to get the missing hub caps and repair them, hopefully get started on all this real soon.
Got the body of the corolla to do so I don't have much room for that until thats done and my RX7 drag car is sold.

The car has arrived at storage this morning, also got the replacement hub caps and they just need some rust removed and a little beating and a filing and then they will be sweet.
Plans are to get the engine out very soon and all the little consumable bits will be repaired, body work has to wait a while cause I need a car sold and to finish the body of my daily.
