My Brother Bought a 1987 TOYOTA COROLLA!

[@kllntime101]

Still see tons of these on the road here in California since there's no rust. Love these funky old 80's Toyota's. I daily an 86' Cressida and it's never let me down.

[@AapVanDieKaap]

Sick ride. In South Africa they are becoming collector's items. I just looked on autotrader and there's one on sale for R1,100,000 ($58,000 US). I don't think they will get that price but they often go for R200,000 +

[@cgRui34]

We still have lots of these running here in SE Asia, with a lot of aftermarket parts support. Sturdy bombproof car right there.

[@lowdowngarage]

That’s good to hear just a little worried about parts over hear but hopefully I’m sure we’ll manage when it comes to it good too see we have a wide audience thanks for watching!

[@cgRui34]

@@lowdowngarageThat's a 1.3 liter 2E carbureted engine. Fairly simple and easy to work with. That engine was produced well until the late 90's with the E111 series Corollas so you'll most likely be able to find support for it. I personally daily a 4-AF powered version of this car and it's been treating me fairly well once I got it to proper running condition. Most of my issues over the last decade or so are more related to the carburetor acting up rather than with the engine itself.

[@artoodiitoo]

We too in nothern Finland, I see 80s and 90s Toyotas still daily x3 They do live forever

[@pcorf]

@@artoodiitoo Even in Australia this shape is still common (E90). Sedan, hatchback, liftback hatchnack. They have stood the test of time. Also the V20 Camry (4 cylinder versions) from this era still can be seen.

[@paulsz6194]

Yes, they are the main staple as a Taxi in Thailand, running on LPG / CNG, but I have seen this model in pictures on the internet being used as Taxi’s when they were new. I also think they used these in Indonesia as well….

[@curtleyprince5348]

Nice Corolla they very popular here in South Africa. Still very a common sight in South African roads

[@85therealdeal]

You'll be able to change the idle on that 2E engine quite easily with carburetor adjustment I think.

[@VeyronBD]

I'm in the UK and own a 1991 corolla GL of this generation as a daily driver for 6 years now, does 60 odd miles per day at least going to work. Its been a great car and never let me down. Also on a side note, lift the rear seat base and check the seat belt mounts, mine was passing MOTs and stuff fine but the mounts were totally rotted out of it from inside out! Not a super hard job but just keep in mind.

[@spacekii]

This is actually where most of the rust is, so must be a common problem. We'll be sending it for extensive rust repair under the back seats and undearsealing, so hopefully we can get it to truly last forever!

[@timtrial3971]

I have a starlet in that glorious shade of brown

[@hachiroku8677]

What a cool Corolla. Crank-up windows and a sunroof. Just loved it! Wish they had sold this gen here in my country!

[@Weeaboo_AF]

Is vehicle! It'll be exciting to see the COROLLA come to life. Thats a quality motor 👌🏻

[@lowdowngarage]

Thanks we are looking forward too it as well!

[@AapVanDieKaap]

At Toyota South Africa they continued to produce a AE92 hatchback until 2006. It was branded the "Toyota Tazz". I have a 2002 which has been in the family since 2004. Oil, filters, spark plugs, tyres, light bulbs and 1 set of shocks. I now have my first real issue with it which is that the driver door striker / lock is not working properly. I also have a 1999 BMW E46 and 2007 Land Rover Defender. Obviously being more premium cars they have more that can go wrong. But the main difference I think is the quality of the rubber and plastic in the Toyota is much, much higher. Including components in the engine bay.

[@Max-rn3eb]

Tazz! such a classic

[@fanatix2749]

This model of corrolla is very popular in South Africa. Parts is very affordable aswell

[@Coastmac2001]

Still a number of these in Australia . Doing 800,000km isn't unusual

[@lowdowngarage]

Wow that’s good to know hopefully ours will be the same!

[@artoodiitoo]

Toyotas and Hondas from the 80s and 90s seem to hit over 1 million miles easily, if the body is taken care of before it rusts away

[@Coastmac2001]

@artoodiitoo I had family in Australia whose Toyota 45 series diesel Ute did 1.5m km over about 10 yrs . Plenty of hilux diesels here that have over 2m km

[@AapVanDieKaap]

In South Africa we call them "kanniedood" which means unkillable / invincible.

[@paramedicchrisbookseries]

This is amazing, my late Dad had corolla, I loved it. Would love to have one myself but rare now. Dad's was brilliant until someone drove into it.

[@priyanjayasuriya3984]

I just bought a Wagon of the same generation EE97G. Love it.

[@yeengus94]

god i love the design of those late 80s, early 90s Toyota's

[@davidrix804]

Absolutely my favourie toyota🎉🎉🎉best looking colour is grafitegrey colour,you have bagged a good one there,it’s a classic👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@aaa_batteries]

Love the old Corollas, can't wait to see this finished! 🙌🙌 Looks good inside, not too sure about the rust 😂

[@lowdowngarage]

Thanks I’m also not sure about the rust 😂but where there’s a will there is a way. It’s a clean car apart from that!

[@underminer2223]

Where are you guys based? I live also in the UK, love my older cars, i had the same polo in blue, N reg. Now have a MK1 clio, P reg

[@peterhoulis1184]

Nice score , i too like my early toyotas as ive just bought a 65 toyota corona rt40 sedan , 3/4 of the way restoring it , its so tiny but i love it

[@sampik2003]

If it's a carburated car, there might be a screw on the carb to adjust the idle rpm! I used to put it up on an old mazda pickup, but only because it would stall at idle if cold. (Did help me a lot with heel and toe, to make sure it wouldn't die on me 😂

[@lowdowngarage]

Yes I plan on giving this a try just hope it still runs okay afterwards otherwise I’ve got bigger problems!

[@sampik2003]

@@lowdowngarage Yeah, then it's going through vacuum lines like you said, or tweaking the carburator, which looks complicated! (Never worked on it, although I should've)

[@Kublai1969]

Lovely stuff mate. Got myself a pair of Holden Nova's over here in Australia. Lovely reliable things, unkillable engines.

South Africa's 🇿🇦 beloved Toyota corolla 1.6l 16v Kentucky rounder. Those cars were built to last

[@TheFatSandwhich]

Compound and polish that paint and it'll be looking amazing! None of it looks like clear coat peel, just heavily oxidized paint. Lucky,!

[@thracian]

mint beater dude + its toyota! outlive all of us!

[@louisewalton4556]

Good video you two

[@Dan-MK4.]

mega vehicle, sure i saw you on your way to pick it up aha

[@lowdowngarage]

Ayyyy thanks you might have done I see you loads in the blue mr2 😂

[@AlvinBrinson]

Worst thing about the AE92 was that it replaced the AE86. Drove one as a daily for years, it was surprisingly nimble for what it was.

[@MT-kx2uc]

To know what side the petrol tank is on, have a peak at the petrol gauge. The little pic of the pump will have an arrow pointing to what side it's on 😊

[@lowdowngarage]

Noticed this after that event sure it a useful thing 😂

[@peterdevreter]

Bombproof car. Sometimes 5th gear pops out with the 1.6 but otherwise besides rust super reliable!

[@mboyvickerz]

My liftback 1.6 tries to pop out of 5th too lol

[@Steve1766]

Not many of them about nowadays, keep her mint, would look good with an R31 style two tone and some dinnerplate wheels!

I agree!

If you dont need the hubcabs, and there are 13 Inch, i would buy it!

[@lesklower7281]

I have seen a couple of these driving around in N.S.W Australia which there are more Toyota's on the road than any other car brand and l myself own a 1997 Toyota Hilux bought it 4 years ago since retiting 2 years ago l have researched the Hilux and l have been blown away by how indestructible reliable and unbreakable it is but what a great buy a 1987 Toyota Corolla and the Toyota at the front is before the badge was developed and l have seen a couple of Toyota's that have been debadged so they must be considered to debagers as something special that high idle maybe due to the automatic choke because my Hilux does that on start up and settles down after a short time as the Corolla is Carburated all though my Hilux is ten years newer it still has its original carburator a testiment to the Aisin carburator on it Aisin is owned by Toyota they make other things besides caburators but l can still buy a new Aisin carburator for my Hilux at a cost and l do hope the rust isn't to bad infact my Hilux has only surface rust not enough to fail it at its yearly rego check this is Australia were any decent car doesn't rust and my elder brother daily drives a 1976 Toyota Corolla its his wifes car he has a couple of 1960s Rootes Group cars and they aren't running both with engines issues but at least he has his dependable reliable Toyota as you can tell l am a Toyota fan boy and thats the way l like it l have seen on Google and KZbin were there are many Toyota's that have done over a million miles and thats how reliable they are and reliability is a luxury

[@danmamo5849]

If you go to Ethiopia today 2024, that car is worth over £8,000. Very popular car there.

Throw an 4AFE 1.6L engine in it!!!!

[@craigscothern5100]

Personally, I on't think you c go wrong with buying an old Toyota or Honda. Even at 36 years old they will prove reliable. Rist may be an issue at the end of the sills, but otherwise, they are strong little cars. If you need transport nd your pockets aren't very deep, buy a Toyota.
