I was working as a Toyota technician when this car was new...oh the memories. I could still build that 2tc in my sleep. Looking forward to you getting this corolla up and running.
@@redlineranch. I think ít better to fix the original engine thêre are still parts for that, the coroll still good shape 2door post car like to see it running again?!?
Granddad had the exact same car. I remember a couple of buddies and myself «borrowed» it and took it for a day of cruising. 14-15 years old we were then. We had a blast, what a day that was…..
Cool, two doors, corola. She is video documented, better than old paper documents for anyone who wants to buy her. Thank you for bringing her back to life.
Thanks for the great content. Videos are great, not too long, not too short, but perfect length every time. You don't show every nut and bolt, but show us what we need, to understand the 'job'. Glad I found this channel.
If you ever make merch, I'd pay good money for a stylized version of the dirt bike tug pulling the Corolla. You make do with what ya have and I'm glad to see you working on this old Corolla.
That’s a 2tc is a really popular motor in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is a hart really really economic beast like you said budget bild it runs with nothing and hit good number with some work
Thank you for the video. I love the classic Corollas, but I wonder if I should buy the 1986 and drive it as is, or should I convert the 1976 to a newer engine.
I have a 1979 corolla lift back i also have done the 2rz swap on mine. This is awesome to see another out there. Just found your channel today. I'm excited to see what similarities and what you've done differently
I had one just like it, mine had the infamously good, reliable, economical Toyota 2TC 1600cc (1588cc or so in reality) engine. I drove the wheels off mine doing nothing but good maintenance regularly. I always thought a '75-'79 Corolla 2 door would make a GREAT scaled-down clone-copy of a 1967 Ford Mustang on the outside (in every way, taillights, fenders, bumpers and proportions scaled down) with a hot 302 under the hood and a 4pd. I still think someone doing that with one would make a really cool, different, interesting restomod in a video series. ;)
I recently subscribed to your channel. I continue to be amazed at your knowledge of Toyota’s and your trouble shooting skills. Your videos are inspiring to Me as a 63 yo Car Guy. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Got an old RAV4 5 speed and i managed to get a 3sgte in it the stock e250 js able to take the 260 hp andb i love seeing peoples reaction when rjey csnf cut me off and get gapped good luck brother it's a fwd version do it bro
ive been watching for a few months and saw you on the grind hard channel the other day and checked if you had any new videos. to my surprise there was one today! love the builds and so stoked for the corolla! when you did a burnout in the garage i audibly said " i fucking love this guy" haha cant wait to see more!
The only true way to test a car out is to do a burnout! The grind hard adventure was awesome, I was stoked to be along for the journey! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
RR, very nice work on all of the planning, checking, measuring, cutting, modifying and fabricating so far on this project. We'd like to see you build a driveshaft safety hoop and do some upgrading/modifying to the rear suspension to go with that major upgrade in power you've got. If you watch the video again you'll see that even with those stock Corolla tires on the back, when you did the burnouts those poor little weak leaf springs and shocks had no choice but to let the tire(s) jump all over the place like hyper rabbits. If you CAN, being as the car is nice, has no rust and looks stock (sleeper city!), put ladder bars on the rearend, better/adjustable shocks and widen the stock rear wheels for wider tires that are all the way or at least mostly inside the fenders...and of course a full exhaust because cops, keeping the sleeper stealth and preserving your eardrums. ;)
Love your work mate, not many people capable of what you do at our age I have a very similar corolla to yours I’m about to put a 3t and 5 speed in and a 1975 hilux very similar to yours as well, I’m from Australia and there’s hardly any around here anymore, especially the hilux
Bought a '76 Corolla that looked just like yours for a couple hundred dollars. It leaked oil. Turned out the 2tc had a leaky oil pressure sensor switch. Fixed that for a couple bucks and got another 80 k miles until I sold it.
Had the 2 door (KE55?) In 2000 as my 1st car right after I got my licence. 1.3 L auto. Zero power but hardly ever had to put fuel in it. Rusted out pretty badly.
Hi.. from Australia 🇦🇺 ... i have a turbo 3rz in a ke70.. there is quite a few corollas here with 3rzs and very fast corollas at that.... 2 youtube channels from Australians with powerful 3rzs are @nuggetgarage and @tunagarage... Also for more firewall clearance on ke30-55s there is 1" inch gap between firewall and heater box so you can dent/push it in... or if you wanted to go to extremes you can move the whole heater assembly 60mm i think it is rearward in to the car more and still fits behind the dash... this is a jz firewall recessing mod that gets done.. I also will be fitting a 3rz to a ke10 that i have which has tubbed rear to fit 12" wide wheels If you are rebuilding a bottom end.. it would definitely be worth puting better conrods as they are the weakest part and prevent you going much past 500hp... there is a company here in Australia 🇦🇺 making billet blocks if you wanted to go upto 1500hp..😂😂 That diff will last ok.. but with the 1st 30 seconds of your test drive.. it will last 3 minutes 😂.. That 73 hilux you have, has the exact right width diff assembly for this corolla 😂... and you need to fit tramp bars to prevent the leave springs tramping... i used 65mmx12mm (2-1/2"×1/2" for Americans 😂) steel plate 300mm/1 foot long and welded it to the diff.. face it forward for traction or face it backwards for less traction..😂 and i had it bolted around the spring at the end of it which almost made it a solid arm and used the opposite end of the spring for "springing"
Our first family car was a Toyota Corolla. Was one of the best cars ever, could drive it from hell and gone. In the 2010 someone stole our corolla and we never found it again.
Man, I feel like you'd be at home In Thailand, their car culture and absolute love for JDM cars is unrivaled next to Japan. Those classic Toyotas are pretty common over there, I thought i was special with a 2011 Sienna XLE AWD that i put a 3.5 inch lift on along with some other things😂😂 Needless to say i am a Toyota fan tho...cheers.
That's rad! I actually have some ties to Thailand, and might be visiting in the nearish future! Anywhere near Chang Rai that's got a good car culture that you know of?
@@redlineranch. Yes Pattaya city, they hold car shows, meets, I understand alot of very affordable labor and parts etc. Many people even have American cars that somehow they managed to put japanese turbo diesels in, it's interesting.
That is gonna be the coolest car! I do see a diff swap in your near future however from either the anticipation of the higher power of that engine or a mandatory swap due to the grenade consequences shortly there after resulting from power of said engine. 😂
What got my attention firstly l am a Toyota fan boy because l own a 1997 Toyota Hilux with the 22R engine and you a very talented fabricator those engine and gearbox mounts also the sump excellent but my brother has a 1976 Toyota Corolla and doesn't appreciate what a great car they are he is meticulous about keeping it going and it is a low kilometre car about 170000 kilometres he gas a couple of crappy old British cars l gave them up in the 1970s
Pretty hard to kill an old Toyota T-series engine. Water pumps, oil-pressure switches and timing chains. About all that goes wrong with them. And they were a hemi engine, from memory...
@@redlineranch.Not into the Taco engines, balance shafts suck. Besides The Puerto Ricans would Strongly disagree with you. 😂 They are cranking out close to 1,000 Hp on boost. The only common engines that will reach these numbers is the 2jz, 3sgte, Rb26 Nissan or the K20 and K24 Hondas. Didn't mention Mitsubishi because of their Love of Balance Shafts.
ill look into a different soundtracks, music is one of the most difficult parts of putting these videos together! What type of music would you suggest?
I was working as a Toyota technician when this car was new...oh the memories. I could still build that 2tc in my sleep. Looking forward to you getting this corolla up and running.
that's too cool to hear! im sure the old 2tc is a fair bit simpler than these new engines!
👍👏👏
The Toyota 2TC engine was and is one of the best the Japanese engineers have ever designed.
@@moparman1962 That is a fact, they had dome top pistons and built to last.
@@redlineranch. I think ít better to fix the original engine thêre are still parts for that, the coroll still good shape 2door post car like to see it running again?!?
Epic video. Someone has what they think is trash and you convert to treasure. Keeping and teaching the tradition alive. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to keep bringing more cars back to the roads!
Granddad had the exact same car. I remember a couple of buddies and myself «borrowed» it and took it for a day of cruising. 14-15 years old we were then. We had a blast, what a day that was…..
What an awesome memory!
We bought a brand new Toyota Corolla back in 1976 was one of the best cars we ever had. Good luck on repairing this jewel and enjoy it.
That’s awesome! I’m excited to bring this one back to its glory!
Cool, two doors, corola. She is video documented, better than old paper documents for anyone who wants to buy her. Thank you for bringing her back to life.

I appreciate that! I try to balance everything out to make sure it’s not drawn out or too short!
If you ever make merch, I'd pay good money for a stylized version of the dirt bike tug pulling the Corolla. You make do with what ya have and I'm glad to see you working on this old Corolla.
Anyone else that'd like this?
I've been debating merch for a while and would love opinions and input!
love this!
@@redlineranch. Yes, it's time to Merch. And definitely the motorcycle pulling the corolla.
what a cool car..cant believe how mint it is being from the 70s

Nice work on this build. Corolla should be a ton of fun to drive, engine sounds great! Will be looking forward to what you do with this.
Thanks! Hoping to document the whole process and make it an awesome ride!
Nice my late uncle had one of these years ago. Always wanted to build one in his honor
I’ve been so excited to build this since I got it, can’t wait to get it up to 100%!
Nice! My dream car is a Datsun wagon 510
I’ve always liked those old wagons, super cool cars!
@@redlineranch. there few and very pricey, lmkbif u find one lol
Wagons are super rare in this side of the world ( Sri Lanka ) but i was lucky enough to find a 1970 4dr L13 510.
Wishing you the best
I have a 1979 corolla lift back i also have done the 2rz swap on mine. This is awesome to see another out there. Just found your channel today. I'm excited to see what similarities and what you've done differently

Dude looking great man! Engine sounds awesome!
Rad project, great channel! 🤘
Much appreciated! Glad you’re enjoying it!
So talented.
Thank you!
Love your work mate, not many people capable of what you do at our age
I have a very similar corolla to yours I’m about to put a 3t and 5 speed in and a 1975 hilux very similar to yours as well, I’m from Australia and there’s hardly any around here anymore, especially the hilux
Buddy in highschool had one with a 4spd and staggered Centerlines. Lots of fun on the dirt roads!
Nice, I have a 72 Bluebird, it has been sitting, need to get on it.... for sure!
just watched all the 73' hilux videos, and I'm really excited to see what will you do with this build!
Bought a '76 Corolla that looked just like yours for a couple hundred dollars. It leaked oil. Turned out the 2tc had a leaky oil pressure sensor switch. Fixed that for a couple bucks and got another 80 k miles until I sold it.
I always see it as a "belive" project.. since it looks like almost "impossible".. great job there brother..
One step at a time, and eventually you've run a marathon!
Dude awesome job love your work 👍 I’ve had old school Corolla’s and celica’s my whole life love’m can’t wait for the next video 👏👍
Right on! I'm enjoying working in this rad ride!

I also will be fitting a 3rz to a ke10 that i have which has tubbed rear to fit 12" wide wheels
If you are rebuilding a bottom end.. it would definitely be worth puting better conrods as they are the weakest part and prevent you going much past 500hp...
there is a company here in Australia 🇦🇺 making billet blocks if you wanted to go upto 1500hp..😂😂
That diff will last ok.. but with the 1st 30 seconds of your test drive.. it will last 3 minutes 😂..
That 73 hilux you have, has the exact right width diff assembly for this corolla 😂...
and you need to fit tramp bars to prevent the leave springs tramping... i used 65mmx12mm (2-1/2"×1/2" for Americans 😂) steel plate 300mm/1 foot long and welded it to the diff.. face it forward for traction or face it backwards for less traction..😂 and i had it bolted around the spring at the end of it which almost made it a solid arm and used the opposite end of the spring for "springing"

I’ve watched a few of your videos now. I guess I’ll subscribe 👍
love your videos 😃
Thanks, glad you enjoy!

Awesome car and video, love Toyota😎😍
Daily drive a 1999 Corolla😎
Toyotas are the best!
So true😀
Thanks for this
i wanna buy a rwd corolla too once i have money. cheapest ones here are about 2k-3k euros.
1st car i ever owned was a 77 (same as this) in a copper color(very similar to this) back in 1985......that was fucking cool bro

you have 5.3 mil subs, no? just k. I thought you are super big channel! you will have 5.3 mil subs in no matter time.
Awesome video man love it
Thumbs up on your work. How much power can the stock diff handle? Is a locking diff available for it?
Not much, its holding on for dear life at 150hp, they are known to explode stock
I am eight years old right now when I’m watching
that's cool!
awesome car indeed.
Here before 100k views. Thats a banger.
Hoping so! I’m excited about this project!!
bud, do your future knees a HUGE solid and build yourself a rolling fab/ welding table!
cool project!
ive got my eye on the harbor freight welding table, seems nice!
What would you do with this AWESOME project car?
Bring it back to life and head to the highest mountain thru the longest highway.. 😅
Pretty hard to kill an old Toyota T-series engine. Water pumps, oil-pressure switches and timing chains.

love that! I seriously appreciate the support!
very very cool!
Thanks for the visit! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Sweet man
Thanks!
The car is aesthetically pleasing, however, its powertrain could be improved for better performance.
what about the front? grill etc
thats cool
Thanks!
17:27 10 degree tilt??? It has to be tilted? Or you want it to be tilted? If so why?
that's the factory tilt to keep the transmision upright.
In the trucks they come out of the engine block is at a 10* tilt.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Stick a 4AGE or a 4AGZE motor in it, if you can afford the latter one..
we done with the Hilux?
No! I’ve just been wanting to build the Corolla for a long time, and finally had a little time to do it!
The hilux will be back soon too!
You are a fool to not build the 2tc these baby Hemis make damn good power. I am running a 3tc
The power possibilities are slim compared to the RZ engines, and the aftermarket support is not near as strong
