A while back I bought a 78 corolla wagon, it went thru a couple hands after the 1st owner which was an older lady. She traded her 77 cutlass for the wagon, its a 1.6 2tc motor 4speed automatic. Still has its original am radio and the full ac system, which I have to make work again. It has all its history in the glove box, which is how I found out what she traded in for it. I have since put new glass gaskets from the 2door version ke36, I ordered from Thailand. Took a month and a nice price tag, it also needed a new windshield. A new rear glass, that replaced a plexiglass cutout. I got some ae86 casings shortened with coilover sleeves added, and slotted rotors. 3" lowering blocks on the rear and used my xxr 531 platinum on 165/45/15 tires, which replaced the 195/50 I had when they were on my ae86. Now some pics from when I bought it to now....

Received my ae86 casings... I needed the brake assembly from the ae86, bought some with the slotted rotors, calipers and lowering springs.

IDK, but their style and chrome finish look great on there, even with the primer
