My Rolla

[k-dawwg]

bought this just before i lost the job!!!! its a 1988 corolla xl i am slowly working on the car, so far it has been given a full fx gt interior and dash, jap boot lid and tinted side windows, partially cleaned the engine bay too!!!! i also got actual 50/50 tail lights i have seen a few ppl say they have them when they are still the 75/25 ones!!

Nice.

I've never seen those before.

I've got a GTi and Gl, but didn't know that there was an xl. :)

They did the XL on the later AE102 cars as well, i sold a Diesel one years a go it was the nosiest engine ever. I would guess its still going now as a Taxi

there is a lot of different versions, my mate has the xl saloon his is 89, i had a fx-zs import but jus dumped it after i took what i needed for the xl, there was a 3" hole in the block it was a 1.5 twin cam engine, jap version of the gti

dawesy is ur front bumper from the newer rolla? does itfit straight on or is modification needed?

[dawesy]

its an AE-101 GXI. you need the mounting bar and a few mods to fit (like blending the lower forward portion of the fender to meet the new bumper but other than that its not too bad
