Hey guys, thought i should share with you my boxie corolla that i have.... been checking out stuff on the forums for awhile now, contemplating on what to do and so on, and i recon I'm getting closer to a decision... My boxie is a 1973 model... i got it from the son of an old lady that could not drive any more due to age and her sight... the car is baby blue and when i got it had 84k on the clock... Minter.... being old though, she tended to like scrapping the front guards on her garage walls, but other than that, nothing wrong.... I have got new fenders, also new light surrounds, and bumpers for it, which i havent put on yet.. the plan was jsut to get it back to original, but now after seeing all the crap you guys get up to...it looks like fun.....
First on the list to get, is the quad lamps...i just love the jdm stuff, love it... i think it makes the car, and being in South Africa, its gonna be a first for sure..
next on the list.... the jdm front lip spoiler... i think its the madhouse one???.. still trying to find where to get it..can you guys help?? Also, i love this lip...and with the quads and lip...perfection...
can't have those without the fender mirrors... Is the typical cool, or you guys over these types of thinga over there...i just don't see them here thats probably why i dig them that much....
For wheels, i got 16 x 7 old skool ewings... gonna try get them widened so the car looks P H PHAT.... i'll see though, would be nice to get some wide 14's or 15's maybe...don't know if the 16 will be to big..?
Suspension.. this is a problem for me over here.... yes i can get the s13 colovers, but as for some of the other stuff, we didnt get these cars, therefore the cost i recon to get them is gonna be huge... also doesnt help that i don't know all the chassis numbers of all the parts you guys talk about...but I'm getting there slowly......
Motor... the original plan was to go twin cam.....then it went to turbo twin cam....but now i recon the 20v is the way to go...high revs NA, easy to get parts here, motors arent that expensive, and fits like its made for it... What you guys recon?? 20v or twincam 16oo???
Anyway, thats the idea for now...lets hope i can keep up with what i want to do....
Please guys....the more input the better...thanks a stack....
will post pics if my photobucket ever works
