Hi guys B)

A while back I made a mention to Rich at Blue Streak that once I was finished de-rusting the corolla - it would be up for sale.

As chance has it, I completed most of the de-rusting process last week and yesterday saw Rich who said he knows someone interested in it I now need to let him know what I want for the car. His contact wants to convert it to full rally spec and race it... :rolleyes:

Not sure what to do... There are only two other GTi's for sale on the Trader and underpriced IMO (£700 - £800). I also wanted to solve the oil leak and wheel bearing problems before even thinking about selling. I also wanted to R/R it, take it down the strip and put it on a track before selling.

I could really do with the money but also need to ensure their is enough left over for an MKI MR2 / G Plate Supra (N/A) project.

I have the company Rover to get me about in the mean time. But it will suck being without a personal car...

I have really become attached to the corolla despite my loathing of Hatchbacks (or the stigmas attached to them). Really don't know what to do... :help:

And then there's the commitment and loyalty to the club... :rolleyes:

commitment shouldnt be a problem as your goin for another toyota, i'd sell the corolla now and go for the mr2/supra as they'll be cheaper at this time of year, just so long as you take care

I know all too well the handling of RWD cars. The corolla is one of only two FWD car I have ever had in 15 years and 8 cars of ownership. The MKI will still be a cheap little run around until I get back into Rev3+ Tubby moneys. The Soop idea is nice but I think she will eat up too much of my budget... So MKI it will be B) That's if the other half lets me :censor:

You're right... It was only bought as a cheap runabout until I got tired of the lack of power and "Fun-Factor"... But I have become quite attached to it strangely :(

What would you guys reckon it's worth?

Baring in mind:

New suspension, brake discs and pads all round, recently de-rusted and sprayed. 12 months MOT, 2 or 3 months tax, Low (90 000) mileage, late spec 1990 Non-Tvis 130BHP. Stainless Steel exhaust with Rage backbox, new tyres and soon to be fitted new windscreen. Spotless interior. You won't find one for sale in better condition B)
