Lachlan H Posted March 23, 2008 Report Posted March 23, 2008 Hey guys, I'm no here so go easy on me :cool: I come from a long line of corolla owners, my brother owns a 4A-GE twin cam, my older brother used to own newer lease corollas and i my self was the next in line to get one. Now thats out of the way... I got my corolla off a Old lady last May, and it looked like it had never been driven, the interior didnt have a spot on it, under the bonnet was spotless, and it only had 111,000km on the clock. My questions are: It currently has hub caps on the tyres, but i am wanting to try and find the set of Alloys that would have originally been on this era of Corolla, does anybody know where i could find any? I contacted "Toyospares" in Melbourne but havent heard anything back yet, heck i don't even know what they look like! But i just want to keep my car nice and original looking, I'm not really interested in other style rims. And my only other question was where is the best place to find spare parts, such as a windscreen seal, when they had the roadworthy they got a new windscreen and they did a shocking job on the seal its sticking up on the drivers side corner. And i need to get new Hatch door struts (there very weak) They may seem like stupid questions, but I'm just after some help haha! Thanks in advance Quote

Lachlan H Posted March 28, 2008 Author Report Posted March 28, 2008 Ok, i visited the Corolla Wreckers in Ringwood today and found my Rims. They seemed to be pretty scratched and dirty, is there anywhere i can get them cleaned? Like some specialised Mag wheel cleaner or something? Quote
7shades Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Any sand/bead/glass blasting business should be able to do it for you... have a look in the yellow pages. I had a set of alloys done recently, 30 bucks a rim, glass blasted AND repainted. Quote
