My Dad used to have this specific model.

This is a 1978 model with a 1.2L, 3K carburated engine. My dad always said that it was underpowered.

My father used to have one of these, SL version lang (sedan) - but we also had the SR version as a second car back then.

He dropped in a 2TG in the sedan and as a kid, my jaw dropped too

3K-H engine, 1200cc - yan ang ninuno ng 4K (1300cc) newer corollas and later on the liftback (with 2T and 4K option), 5K (1500cc) ng liteace at 7K (1800cc) ng tamaraw revos -iisa itsura. no prob with engine parts, ang problema sa very old model dito sa tin sa pinas, pahirapan na humanap ng parts like, doors, bumpers, lights. kaya kahit gusto mo i-fully restored usually fabrication ang mangyayari.

a few years of back I was going to make this my old-school project but unfortunately the budget was spent on something else more important.

But I've been wanting to ask if a 2TG will fit in the Corolla SR, so I guess this answered my question.... hmmm.....

Thanks for all your inputs. So what do you guys think? is it worth it?

Well it did fit in the SL, but not sure of the SR since the SR was the 2 door version and the SL was the four door (if there's any difference).

Jabbar go for it if that's what you really want. But just make sure the body is taken care of first, without a rust free body the project might just literally fall apart in front of you

[jabbar777]

Thanks for the advice mbeige. One thing I'm worried about is that the seller owns a "talyer" and he might've covered those rusts that's eating away through the body. Unfortunately i'm not an expert in seeing this kind of stuff.

^^^ Basing from the pictures (especially the interior) I sincerely think that this can become a money pit which is the last thing you need. The price is very tempting indeed but then for that low amount, the catch is usually bigger.

For a 30 year old car like this, expect more problems later on like emission tests and by that time you yourself may have a hard time disposing it.

Try to scout for other newer cars nalang bro

mukhang di na masama ang 25K para sa Corolla na yan. pero, of course be ready to spend another few thousand pesos for repairs and/or upgrades. also, salpakan na ng 2TG yan!!!! bwakekekeke!


aite, peace.

ang sarap i restore ng ganyan...yung gastos lang ang di masarap

[1D4LV]

sa kin lang to ha? medyo malaki-laki na gagastusin mo dyan if you are to recondition everything. after it has been finished considering you have put everything in it, it will still be old looking.

at that amount, it is better to get a VW beetle, pagandahin mo and it looks better.

imagine:

a newly repainted one na supershiny na beetle, colored black.

set it up on 15" chrome rims na 5 spoke.
pa top-down mo (hehehe. cool)
pa setup mo yung sounds...
pa lagyan mo ng AC
pa overhaul mo yung engine
you are good to go. ihinto mo sa libis yan, tignan ko lang kung hindi maging eyecatcher yan.

compared to this car where:
you paint it super shiny
set it up on mesh like rims.
pa setup mo yung sounds
pa overhaul mo yung engine and ac.

although it would also look good, the VW beetle would look better.

imho.

may ganyan na umiikot sa village namin na fully restored...ang ganda

btw, my brother sold his black 1980 galant sigma last year for 30k. it was in better condition than that corolla up there so i'm thinking maybe you could haggle some more and bring the price down to twenty or so thousand bucks

[pitbullz]

isa sa mga favorite ko yan.

25k? mahal. 15k? pwede na.

[mazingerZ]

Sa P25k bro, you could buy a box type mitsu lancer na 80s model. Mas maganda i restore. Moneypit yan repakol. Look for something else na lang.
