  • We find a Toyota classic. KE-30 2 door sedan which is a very rare model here in Australia. Abandoned for years in a shed with dozens of other cars we drag it home give it it's first wash and see if it will run and drive for the first time in what could be decades. Not exactly a JDM performance car with its 1.2 litre motor but a classic just the same.
    This corolla was in our previous junkyard rescue video :
    EP18 i come across an abandoned wrecking yard / junk yard and rescue a HQ wagon and a classic old Ek Holden but thats definitely not all we find. call it a shed / barn find or what ever you like but there is classic survivor cars everywhere, from a XB Ford falcon coupe , Monaro , Torana , a Mopar Charger ,a couple of chevy 56 / 57 , valiants , Commodore HSV clubsport even a few old jdm datsun and mitsubshi cars and much more ever a few old toyota 4x4 . So do take a look it doesn't matter if your into perfect body and paint work , patina , rust or whatever theres a bit of everything in this one for everyone. We will have a few of the cars we bought in future episodes shortly and hopefully you'll see them running and driving back on the highway after years of being parked and left to rot. cheers for watching Backshed . SO WHAT IS BACKSHED ALL ABOUT ?
    WE ARE ALL ABOUT SAVING OLD CLASSIC CARS AND MODIFIYING SOME ALONG THE WAY TOO.
    WE LOVE THE CLASSIC RESCUE , FIRST WASH ,FIRST START IN YEARS TYPE OF THING, GETTING OLD JUNK RUNNING AND DRIVING THEN PUT BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER YEARS OF BEING LEFT TO ROT IS WHAT WE DO.
    IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR INTO FORD , HOLDEN , CHEVY , BIG BLOCK SMALL BLOCK OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN WE MIGHT HAVE A VIDEO FOR YOU TO WATCH. IVE HAVE AND HAVE HAD A LOT OF CARS INCLUDING XB COUPE , XY FACLON GT , EH HOLDEN , F100 , VB COMMODORE , HQ SEDAN AND WAGON , CORTINA , VALIANT AND SO MANY MORE SO THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. IN ON OF OUR VIDEOS I PRETTY MUCH WENT TO HEAVEN FINDING A WRECKING YARD / JUNKARD WHERE THERE WAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD DREAM OF INCLUDING A MONARO , CHARGER , VALIANT PACER , A FALCON COUPE , TORANA , CADILLAC , SOME CHEVY'S EVEN SOME JDM CARS LIKE DATSUN , NISSAN SKYLINE , MITSUBISHI SCORPION BUT IT DIDN'T STOP THERE EVEN 4X4 LIKE A HJ 45 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER AND A 60 SERIES WAGON . I REALLY HAVE NO BIAS I LOVE RESCUING THEM ALL SO DO STICK AROUND AS YOUR BOUND TO SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE. CHEERS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WATCH . MICK

    For old cars that are missing the pedal pads , when I can't find replacements, I like to use
    'Grip Tape ' on them a roll of it is fairly cheap and it works great, sometimes it is even better than the rubber pads.
    For pedals. The tape that is equivalent to 60 grit sandpaper seems to work best.

    That pipe section you found on the drinkers seat (LHF seat) is the original fuel pipe from the pump to carburettor. I have a stack of these 3k engines in my Automotive classroom at my work for the students to work on. Back in the day we used to buy these Corolla's and have the students work on them.

    Another great informative video - thanks. Really enjoy these. Many years ago my wife had a mustard 4 door KE30, it ran like clock work but rust was a killer. With the strict ACT inspection laws at the time was always costly for repairs to keep registered but later moving to SA that was no longer relevant so the car went on for many more years. I was shamed into moving it on when my father in law one day asked why I was letting my wife and kids get around in a piece of junk - ironically he actually bought it and used it for years afterwards until finally selling it to someone else!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....the old KE-30. Yep - got a soft spot for them myself, mate. They were the ricer to have when I was part of the teenage boy racer set back in the mid-late 80s. I lusted after the SR Coupe (ok, ok, I know it's technically a KE-50, but it had a very similar face) because I loved its lines and that little two-door KE-30 would have been a cool substitute. Haven't seen a 2-door KE-30 before, so I like the "uncommon" factor the car has too.
    My parents had an '81 KE-70 3-door wagon that was assembled in Thames and had the biblical rot problem. I caned the arse off that little 4K engine and it never complained. I'll never forget the year I took it away on holiday - far up the east coast of the Coromandel peninsula where tarsealed roads never went - and drove it mercilessly over the rutted and corrugated hard clay roads. It had a whistle coming through the rust holes somewhere up front as I drove down there, that wasn't making any noise at all when I came home and I could drive with the windows up and the vents shut and still get a good old breeze blowing around me. I reckon the car probably lost about 10kg of its structural mass in the two weeks I was away! The olds traded it on an '86 VK and a half Exec (EFI, 5-speed manual) not long after. When they went to Oz for a couple of weeks THAT year, I clocked up a thousand kilometres in it. I'd done about 700k and thought to myself that they'd notice that, so filled her up again and drove around some more to round it out so maybe they'd think they'd got the milage when they left wrong. I found out just recently when that subject came up that they knew all along, but just never said anything, thinking they'd make me sweat a bit, whereas I thought I'd gotten away with it! Really looking forward to seeing the vid on the Commy you were kneeling by. Don't see the early ones so often any more......
    Dunno what the fascination is about those metal foot pedal decorations, eh. Someone had riveted a set to the pedals in my Mini when I bought it and they were the first thing I changed on the car. Got home, grabbed the pliers and a hammer and screwdriver and knocked the bastards off! Destroyed them by doing so, in fact. It had been damp when I picked the car up and my boot slipped off the clutch pedal once on the drive home - that was enough for me. Didn't like the look of them anyway, but they also appear to be bloody dangerous, so why have them? Rubber pedal pads might not have the same bling factor, but they are much safer.
    Anyway, that little Orange Roughy cleaned up real well with a bit of elbow grease, mate. She does the "ten-foot minter" look perfectly in that colour. I'm still surprised how well it runs on that huge lump of a carb though, eh. Really enjoyed that vid. There's something about seeing an old car come back that is so satisfying..... All the best, eh?

    I Love how you methodically go through everything on an old school mechanical level Mick. Like, assuming there's no Google! I must admit I was one for looking for firing order on the manifold when I was young. Looking forward to the VB commodore. I've got a real soft spot for them after having 253 four speed SL in maroon some 30 something years ago. The clutch was a big heavy bitch and resulted in an oversize left calf muscle 😂😂. I always loved the headlight wipers for some obscure reason too. 😂😂

    A Toyota 4A-GE engine with the T50 5 speed box from an AE86 sprinter would be the go. With a 1.6 ltr, 16 valve, twin cam, fuel injected engine there would be plenty of horsepower (approx 125) and lots of revs available. I think it would be much more in keeping with the character of the car, it would go like stink, and be easier to sell. I am very much enjoying binge watching your videos. 😊👍

    Oh the memories of my youth!
    Back in about 1980, I bought a 76 panel van.
    Similar red in colour, the back was customised with an archway between the seats and it had working side pipes 😂
    The motor was bog stock but it must have been manufactured on a Wednesday as it was just a freak!
    I'd soon after met and fell in love with a girl and the old panel van soon had some late night stories to tell 😂
    It also didn't take the local boys in blue to take a liking to it too. A few defect notices were soon issued and many things had to change. First the side pipes had to go so a new exhaust was fitted but I kept the side pipes just for show.
    12 months later I lost my license for quite some time and I had great plans for the van but sadly none happened and eventually I sold it to the wreckers.
    I haven't seen one one the road now for many years but I'd love to get another one just for the nostalgia.

    I had the model after this the KE55 the old 4K used to burn 4 litres of oil a week driving to work. iI turfed that and put a 5K in it,fitted a Weber 32/36 carb and headers with a home made exhaust system lowered it put 13 inch ROH jelly bean mags on it and drove it like that for years. It used to destroy diffs and gearboxes but that’s probably because I just used to drive the wheels off the thing! Apart from that it was super reliable and pretty easy on fuel too, I’d own another one if I could!

    I have come to appreciate little Japanese cars like this Corolla a lot more than I did growing up. The original poo brown colour of yours brings back memories, when I was in my early teens our neighbours had a KE30 manual Corolla wagon in the same poo brown. My suggested engine swap (if you can get one) is a 4A-GE 1.6 twin cam that came in the once dime-a-dozen mid-80's Corolla SX. Believe it or not my father-in-law has a 1958 MG Magnette with a 4A-GE engine transplant which has transformed its performance.

    Just remembered that I bought a KE10 back when I was about 18. Paid $500 for it, which was a lot back then.
    Smacked l/h front guard, but still drove fine.
    Has "K" engine. no number in front of the K, and a long gear shift.
    I think it was just on 1100cc.
    It was no ball of fire, and my Dad ended up fixing the guard. Mum drove it for years.
    They traded it in on a Triumph Toledo.
    Bad move.
    1.5 litres, and it would easily be left standing at the lights by any bus.
    It also ate gearboxes.
    Corollas are, (or were), great cars back then.
    I bought an EE90 for about $11K, back when it was fairly new.
    Sad, heavy, noisy, underperforming car.
    Sorta put me off Toyotas, though I've had a good run out of a couple of Camry wagons since.
    Best I go - I'm raving.
    Nice little car you have there!
