haha if I didn't want people to laugh at my car, I wouldn't be driving what I do!

It's been on the receiving end of much mockery.....

I think the older Rolla's look nice painted in darker colours, but ya have to make sure the panels are straight as, othwerwise it'l turn out like shit!

the panels are suprisingly straight..theres a tiny bit of rust where the paint has been scraped off and the metal is getting rusty there on the boot, but other than that, the car has noor very little panel damage..cept for the spare tyre well..

Not really familiar with the old shape Toyotas,
but if it's a classic retro car, then go classic retro in your colouring.

Maybe a vintage ice white? Or artic silver...
burnt orange for the hey-day of the 70s look...
rechromed bumpers...?

As for the interior...you could give FIBRENEW a call, I hear they do some great jobs at restoration.

Honestly mate, no idea. I was just doing a google search on "KE30", found a bunch of nicely restored Toyotas...

Older cars look great when they've been restored/updated... if you put a more modern engine in there you'd have a great little daily driver. Or a stonking giant killer.

Classic styling never goes out of fashion.
