SOLD!

Sold for $3,200 "AS IS". Car is NOT running.

Well, the engine finally gave up on me 2 months ago. So I decided to just sell it and buy a car right now that can take me places. Hopefully I get a GT-S next time I get a corolla.

Taking a short break

I'm taking a break from fixing this car up. I'm planning on going to PI this year, I need to save up money. First, pay-off my speeding tickets, go to traffic school, get a passport and watever after that. Here are some pics for this week.

Lowered, and finally finished the "Panda" paint scheme.... lol

"86" yeea, dont ask...






Before (Stock Springs)


After (Espelir ASD)








Stock - Aftermarket


I need a new set of wheels!

It was a bitch putting the mouldings back on... I used the Gorilla Glue, to stick it on. I shouldve used a 3M Double sided tae or w/e... but its koo, its stuck like a champ now... =P

Installed the lowering springs

Finally installed the Espelir lowering springs (thanks to my brother in law) and painted the driver side of the car!
The springs made a big difference, ride is smoother now, and the car doesnt lean much while turning.

I havent done much on the car, I still need to put the mouldings back on. I'll post pics later on.

Espelir Springs / Fender $120

Met up with 'socal' to pick up the front fender he's selling on club4ag, I told him to bring some parts. I ended up buying the fender and a set of Espelir Lowering Springs ASD (#ESA086). I may be installing this today, not sure... here are the pics as usual...

And about the digital gauge cluster, I shouldve done my research first, turns out, it only works for GTS! =T

1984 Toyota Corolla SR5 White/Black
Acquired June 23, 2007 1:50AM

EVERYTHING STOCK!

I bought my first AE86 around 2005, prestine condition, no dents, no rust, CLEAN interior. I bought it for $900.00 from an old lady, I was the 2nd owner! I regret selling it, even though it was a SR5, I didnt realize how rare it is to find a WHITE Corolla in that condition.

Couple of weeks ago, I was driving down the freeway and spotted a white Corolla (Hatchback) about a quarter mile away, guess what, it had a "For Sale" written on the rear hatch with the number under it. Pulled next to him (traffic was slow), I rolled down my window, I was like, "HEY, I'LL BUY IT RIGHT NOW! I GOT THE MONEY!" I got his number, and a day later, I got the title/registration in hand.

I paid $560.00 for this car.
