    Wanted a KE70 forever found one parked up left a note on it 5 years ago got a text back from a lady saying it was passed down from her dad who kept it in his garage for 24 years and she would never sell it for less then 10k:cry:.

    5 years later she got older and couldn't get in & out of it and got herself a car through the coucil.

    SO I GOT THAT TEXT I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR :D

    Anyway after afew text back and forth I went to collect my new car :smokin:

    59k on the clock loads of history, all old mot's & loads of old manual's

    Do I keep it standard or get busy pimping it :wack:

    Will add more picture's once I get my 8 1/2 wides on and slam it :smash:

    :wave:

    Nice.

    If your that low, you need an Adjustable panard rod for the rear axle (the fifth link) it will re-center the rear axle.


    Same wheels I had on my KE70. :)

    Not another set of celica alloys :) well you've ruined me putting before and after pics up. I'll do it anyway. You know it needs 8" banded steels for winter. And I know a man who can

    Very nice car mate, I love the old retro Celica's :)
    Cant beat an AE86 though :)
    But yours I have to admit is on par with an ae86 because I love the retro brown colour and the wheels suit the car to a t :D
