i was under the impression that these older cars usually swapped in the older 4age, not the newer horizontally mounted blacktops? mountings were diferent i thought....

Which part of the car you plan to restore? Rm5k is a small budget to fully restore a KE70.

 

[lsm1991]

5k....
1)u need to deal with rust and stuff
2)u need to repaint
3)interior? little trim pieces
4)engine rebuild?
5)suspension components rebuild
i think your 5k would be all gone after point 2/3

Like other brothers mentioned, have to list what you want to do?

 

[Izso]

List want to do - that's one thing. Show condition of the KE70 you want to restore is another. Perhaps you have a rust-free KE70 and then restoring it probably wouldn't be so bad.

Some ""nice"" KE70 appeared to be nice when newly painted......but there might be plenty of rust lurking underneath the new paint and tonnes of body filler crap... I personally viewed plenty of interesting KE70, earlier advertised on mudah. I walked away mostly due to tell-tales of badly repair works.....which will be a time bomb later.

So, prepare for heart attack if that happens......
Old cars are fully of surprises. hehehehe

i spent nearly abt 3 full weekends...abt 6 hours a day, trying to find all the leaks in the car. esp around those rear lights, chromes, panels...glass rubber area... etc2.

so if car has "new paint" dont take that as such a great thing. Most importantly always check for rust...once owned the car fix all rust and leaks, then spray anti rust in the interior floor and back area... after your body is in good order do your engine conversion/mods....once that is done....repaint the car to your own liking...

mine is a Toyota Corolla 1972 KE20. luv her to death

1) Need serious recommendation to find chassis "straightening" and rust repair, as priority, must do. For my KE70, especially firewall seam-weld to engine bay section completely disconnected. It's dying and I wanna save it.


2) then depends of how well item(1) is done, if really good will be worth to continue second steps, which is complete strip down primer and re-prime up and paint.



Will to sacrifice all original upholstery for alternatives. Make life work easy for workshop.

Thank you, thank you!!! serious enquiry. step_1 check costs, if OK do, then test drive if OK step 2.


tips - long time ago spot weld engine bay + cabin. (boot section no spot weld). The drive was very very the good, so god dam happy, entire car response so good, at that moment for sure no regret, but much later realize too stiff, end up many original seam-weld crack and disconnected, so don't spot-weld for regular daily use. Only pure race car should do it.

Obviously now I sound regretful, but definitely no blaming, because I gained experience, good/bad/soft/hard lesson learn. Somethings should not be greedy for. Once in a lifetime if good. Now can't un-spot-weld, but careful avoid pot-holes, drive really slow on bad vibrating roads etc.
