Project Flea

[Lextreme II]

Here is Project Flea

 

[The Flea]

I have a new site that I'll be finishing shortly. It's a rough documentation of the buildup of my 72 TE27. These early TE body style Corollas can be had for cheap and make great swap candidates because of their simplicity. Chrisman, on our forum is doing the later AE body style Corolla GTS and it's dimensionally very similar to the TE.
Several other AUS members are looking into doing swaps on KE20-25's which are almost identical to the TE. The old school RWD Corollas deserve some attention (because of gaining interest) so I thank Lextreme for making this a sticky.
I'm also looking for links to your buildup regardless of what kind of car it is.

great idea, i wonder if this type of conversion could be registered here in Australia?? might enquire next time i speek to the engineer!!

Is this the same as the aussie corolla? If so then,
I know of two going around. One is in VIC and is road registered and going. The other in QLD and I don't know if the project has been completed yet. But the guy doing it is a fanatic so there will be no corners cut and the cuar will perform in every manner (he likes to race around the track as much as possible).

the AE86 sprinter was based on those TE corollas. same suspension and everything.

if a 1UZ fits in a sprinter, it'll fit in a TE50 sedan.

WHAT A SLEEPER!

Dean, I'm having withdrawals too. I just got a set of T3 camber plates and I'm waiting on the QA1 springs to finish the front end. I'll slap a corolla rear under it so I can roll it to the shop to have most of the cage put in.
I'm at the end of my budget for the year. I plan to do the cage, front end, primer it, and get a rolling body before the winter.

winter is right around the corner!
