I have one KE70 in sight. I want to restore it. Need advice in terms of availability and cost involved for full restoration...Following are the details:

1. Body is a goner, rust here and there
2. Body floor pan gone
3. Engine gone...would need a swap. What options are there? Cost?
4. Other parts replacement...brakes, suspension, springs, lights, gear box etc...

How feasible and doable is this project?
How much cost would be incurred if one wants to go for a GOOD restoration. Interior restoration and paint job would be the last of the problems..

Expert advice highly needed..

Thanks

If you have a good denter only then go for this condition else find a car which is used in family which require less work on body. You'll find fenders, door panels in market but if inner body is too rusted then avoid the car. Floor pan can also be made by a good denter.
Engine swap is no issues, you'll find multiple threads and experts who have done good job. Depends on your budget either u go for stock or swap.
Other misc. parts are all available in market .. go and do the khuwari;)

Hi buddy, im in search of side mirrors for my KE70 (1980). yours is 18 GL i guess, which car's side mirror would adjust best in 80 as originally it didnt came on doors, it came on fenders which I'm not going for due to Karachi's traffic, thieves etc. I want the door ones, but the issue is there's no space to fit them. The triangle space is very small, can you suggest me which car's mirrors i should search for ?
I want square shaped (preferably power mirrors). Can go for manual too, i have options in my mind like;
Corolla 85 & 86
Civic 84,85,86,87
Nissan Sunny 88,89,90

I found Crown 86 side mirrors (auto & retake) for 6,000 in KHI market.

Whats your say ?

This was my first ride back in 2000. It was modified with a diesel engine. But, it was one hell of a powerful ride. Very strong and very reliable. I kept it for about 3 years. There's no match to old school Japan assembled cars.

Salam! What is the largest dimension of wheels/tires that can be installed into a 1982 Corolla without creating any problem?

Bro. You can install up tp 17' wheels in 1982 corolla if you want..........
But I think 15' rim is the best look for ke70.

Thanks for your reply bro (roadrose), I also think that 15' rims are good for KE70, but what about the width of the tire?
