After paying my insurance I proceeded back to the wrecker that had a crash vw bug on board only to be greeted by a guy enquiring about disposing of an old corolla. Interested in seeing the car we exchanged numbers and he gave me the address where the car was located. Arriving at the location situated behind the house the KE 10 corolla

A guy in Barackpore restored a few of them. I think they are KE20 ,you could probably check him as he knows where all those cars are. It's the same road to go in by Nutrimix.

Was at-least 6 months after finding the car that I was able to remove it as I had to save money for the purchase and find out how to transfer it on my name. Thankful that the owner( deceased ) family really wanted me to acquire the car so help keep it and assisted in gathering all the documents needed for the transfer.

Australia have plenty of them. Was checking last night , parts and cars available. Japan prices real high, like it's a collectors item there.

Does not belong to me. Saw this on a fb photo gallery. Nice to see another local 4 door.
