Yesterday,
as I normally do at least once a week, I was monitoring the Internet. On
Allegro.pl (Polish eBay) nothing new - no parts at a good price, no
similar models, no offers; on Mobile.de for the last few weeks - nothing new;
on Ebay.com generally always the same things, although someone in Australia (I
suppose) was selling KE55 parts, claiming that they would certainly fit KE30;
on Gumtree.com.au, as always, a lot of ads and cool stuff, but generally in
most cases, the sellers were interested to sell locally. Well on the other hand
I don’t want to collect everything there is, because I have no space to store
it, nor money to buy it:-). I was amused the most by the option on Alibaba.com,
where our Chinese brothers for a few dollars can do any spare part for the car.
A prerequisite is the order of at least several dozens of pieces :-).
So, while I was going through various pages I found something I was interested in from the first day of having the car. It was namely… the dash cover, which in my Toyota is in an awful state - destroyed by the sun and cigarettes extinguished on it (?). This is the first element that strikes the eye as viewed from the outside. Anyway, see for yourself how it looks like up close.

And this is how this piece of interior should look like. Time will come to buy it when I will be taking care of the interior of the car.
Dash covers can be found under the following links:
Another example
of the good fortune that day was finding a person with Toyota Corolla KE30 in
Austria! Marion, because that is her name, published information about gasoline
usage the car on www.spritmonitor.de and thanks to that I managed to find her. In
order to send her a message I needed to be registered and so I did. It was a
small price for the opportunity to speak with the owner of such an iconic car
:-). I was very pleasantly surprised by the quick and positive response to my
message from her. I am very happy because of this acquaintance and the
possibilities to exchange mutual experiences and valuable pieces of advice.
That is very important. I'm so happy! :-).
I wonder how many more KE30 lovers are in Europe. I can’t wait to get to know more if them. After all, it is just 98 people with this model of Toyota Corolla I have to find to be able to order spare parts from China:-P.
