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.

[@backshed5295]

Yeah nice tip👍🍺

[@johnpartridge7623]

That was a tricky little sod to sort out with rough running & not firing, but you got there in the end & that's what I like about you & the way you problem solve, some may have gone for the Timing first then fuel but with a Cylinder not firing? But you got the problem sorted, so that was a good job done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍But, I reckon that Chevy Small Block would fit a treat.

[@andrewhorobin2156]

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!

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. 😂😂

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 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.

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.
