Hello guys some of you already know that I've been looking for a project car... The plans where to get a caddy, but somehow I ended up with a toyota corolla :fencelook:

The corolla is a 1990 model 1.3 carb... I'll be fetching the car today and will then be taking photo's where I'll be uploading here...

Thought I'll start the thread so long..

Whats getting done:
Complete respray[removing everything possible and spraying rebuilding up ].
Sound
Racing heart rims
Coilovers
and motor wise twincam :)


Sound:
12" Spl Dynamics,
Boss Amp
Boss 2Farad Capacitor
Lighting Audio 6x9's
Lighting Audio mids
Alpine headunit..


Coils:
JOM most probably

Racing Hearts:
You'll have to wait and see ;)

Motor:
AE82 4AGE most probably..

Interior: Cream
:fencelook:

Think its about time I do a project car with my dad:joy:

[Still getting my grips on the toyota scene, any help with motor or parts please let me know ]

i dont know about this even if you try to go cheap its till going t cost you a boat load to mod... and in the end you will be limited by the chassis you chose i would rather sell and get something with a chassis that can use the power...

For the simple fact that you reside at the coast you should keep it N/A. 20valve VVT with individual throttle bodies and cams will be an awesome runabout in the Rolla's rather lightweight body. Matt it to a 6spd box and LSD and you will have a quick reliable ride!!:idea:

I think you should build an E30 instead so we don't have to ban you!!!:fencelook:

papers still have not arrived.. but here is a small glimpse of what has already happened, as I've been promised the papers. You can see in the one photo, how worried my grandfather is :biglol:

We expected way less rust.. but no worries :thumbs:. This will be my first time respraying a car.. so before I begin with spraying the corolla, im going to give my bmx a few coats :tease:


So bit more rust appears!!


My grandpa walking away worrying about this build... :)







Will be uploading more photo's after I've finished my semester exams...
