[corolla_dude]

Hey guy and girls would like to say hello first of all :)

My dad bought this car alooooooong time ago, was an absolute stunner until it got crashed by me brother , car was put away in the garage, due to my dad having no time to get it fixed.

been a member for a while now and got alot of inspiration (Thankyou :) , so i thought i should get my hand out my pocket and sort it out, get it ready and bring it to some shows and meets.

Anyway enough chit chat PICTURES :)

All comments welcome

Started to work on the damaged parts

Smoothed it down with some sand paper

Got it primed

2 snaps of the bay

That all for now, Progress will be very slow due to me being only 14

WILL ALSO BE ON THE HUNT FOR A NEW FRONT BUMPER

Drivers side wing not needed , cheers

If you got a bumper gimmie a PM please :)

You've done a bloody fantastic job with the smoothing over. I've done my second layer but haven't sanded it yet.

Your engine bay is a damn site cleaner than mine too. Mine looked like a giant ciggie exploded in it.

Not in comparison with mine. I ended up making the guy take off 20 quid so I could buy the stuff to clean it!

[corolla_dude]

white engine bays are hard to keep clean, one spec of dirt makes it look a mess, you going to be doing a colour change ?

Yep.

Satin black with red and black and chrome throughout the bay and block.

Chrome alternators and starters and red hoses and polished block wit chromed air intake manifold.

[corolla_dude]

wow sounds like your gonna be on to a winner, be good seeing the car at show and meet ect..

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Yeah I think I am too.

Cheers

It wille a couple of years until I can get the thing on the road though. The engine has seen better days.

Nice to see people looking after cars like this.

It's not sporty and not yet a classic but...

...these Corolla sedans were damn fine reliable workhorses so an example like this needs saving.

If this was mine I would just tidy up whats there, clean/detail engine bay and a nice set of 'retro style' alloy wheels and leave as is.

As a side note vertually every part for these cars is still available from Toyota main dealer parts dept.

[corolla_dude]

yeah alot of the parts can still be bought from the dealer but they cost a bomb

and my wishbone went last night so that needs attention :(

[corolla_dude]

Got a bit of an UPDATE :D

Have fun trying to remove those dials mate!

I've been trying for months now and have had no luck. :ffs:

One guy said that to get them on, you need to remove the cable from the gearbox!

I'm not sure if this will be the same for you but I thought I'd warn you. :D

Search for my old topic on page 5/6 and you'll see what I was told. Good to have you back though, haven't heard from you for ages! I haven't got much to say for progress on my GTI except loads of my stuff for the interior has been delivered which has me real excited for xmas :yahoo: :yahoo: :toast: :toast: :yahoo:

I might do but it'll have to be later next year. I've got fack all cash right now as I had to spend all of my savings on christmas presents for people! :(

I really like the clear cam gear covers for £50 which will probably be one of the next things to get.

I have had a change of plans though. I've decided to keep the engine that I have now seeing as it's possible to get it up to 500bhp.

I can't find those 302 degree cams though..... :(

Yeah! :lol:

I can feel Toyo looking in my direction in hope!!

I found a page that explains how it's best to mod the 4A-GE engine and it tells you step by step, which is awsome!!!!

What sort of performance mods have you got planned for yours?

Possibly a conversion is in order?

LOL got no performance plans mate, just going to keep it in good condition, should be giving it a good service once i have sorted the arches and the drivers side wing. :D

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Fair enough! ;)

I think that you should go for the looks with yours. Your not really riding ona sporty chasis I don't think!

I discovered some ROTA's which were stunnign but they cost £550 without the shoes!! :(

I been thinking that I should wait to put all of my styling parts on until I get the car on the road so that I don't get w*nker chavs nicking things like dust caps ect.

What do you think?

P.S. got a £45 tax return! More cash for my interior!! :yahoo:

[corolla_dude]

lol yeah when you come from the VW scene, you dont feel to change the type of look of the car.

my bro's motor as it stands now, u now see where i have got the inspiration
