lownslow Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I moved to Australia a few months ago and have finally decided I Needed a daily driver. I was really after a Datsun 1200 ute but they seem to be crazy money over here. Ive owned a few old corollas over the years, ke20s and 30s. (My last one was stolen in Christchurch) So started looking for another one over here, as they are pretty cheap as they are "old". This one popped up on gumtree so went and had a look at it. It's actually a ke55 but is basically the same as a ke30, minus a few changes, bumpers, interior etc. It was owned by the owner for last 23 years so was in pretty good condition. Has a factory 4k and 5 speed. All I've done so far is change the rear end bumper and lights to ke30, replaced the water pump and serviced everything. Diff, gearbox and engine. Found some cheap 14x8 and 14x7.5 SSR longchamps so tidied them up and tried them on. Got some 196/45r14 falkens on their way to me now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
