1998 Ae115 Corolla wagon 4wd

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

So, I have this Ae115 Corolla which is very similar to the basic Ae110 fwd Corolla on the outside, only mine is 4 wheel drive. It’s better known in the asian market as the Sprinter Carib.
It shares the same bulletproof 7a-fe, 1.8l petrol engine you could get for your Ae110 aswell.
The interior looks exactly like the(hideous) ones found in regular fwd Corollas.
The Corolla is one of the most common vehicles in Finland -where I live, but the 4wd model is very rare and I can’t seem to find reliable info of it here.
As far as I can tell, all of the body(exept the floorpan I reckon)and engine parts from the base model will fit my car so those are all sorted, but my main concern is the 4wd system. Is it the same used in the older, Ae95 model?
Do any of you know if any other Toyota shares any of the drivetrain components with the Ae115?

I am currenty the second owner of this unmolested piece of automotive art.
I have some ideas of what I’m going to do with it, but as of now I’ve committed only to test the car around and see it needs any repairs done first.
