Now that is a lovely Toyota, never seen one, you are really lucky.
My mate had a Datsun 280C once... those old Japs are amazing cars to look at, I love all the OTT details on them.
I can just remember them becoming popular here when I was a kid in the mid 70s, they looked so weird compared to all the cars I saw around me, and funny colours ;D

Hi and welcome aboard. Very nice Corolla. Don't think we ever got this Hardtop version in the UK. So many pillarless/coupe versions of J-tin that never reached our shores  Looks lowered any other mods? A couple of us ;D |

There was also one for sale in Finland recently that was build on top of the chassis of some big wheeled 4wd Mitsubishi Pajero  |

Great car. And Bangkok is a great city too. I saw a lot of retro Japanese stuff when I was there but nothing in great condition. Did see a lot of modern J drift machines too.
Welcome.

Wow, a Thailand-based j-tin lover! Nice corolla koop there. There was a tidy one of these on eBay.de last week, went for about 700 quid I think. Hey do you know how i could get some parts shipped from Thailand-based panel manufacturer www.stautoparts.com? |
