not to sure yet most likely 2pac, at the moment i am waiting on my brothers mate as he can paint the car if he can fit it in as he is really busy right now with work if not my old man will paint it in the garage he does a good job, here look at my brothers celica that my dad painted

 

here it is when he first got it

 

when they primered it

when they painted it first in acrylic

 

 

and when they painted it in 2pac

 

so my old man has got a bit of experience

i was browsing through ebay last night and found a corolla on there, he said the clutch is not working, so my dad rang him and offered him $200 for it he said yes so today we went to dee why to pick it up, we got it home gutted out the old corolla

 

 

took it down to norms scrap metal yard got $330 for it mistakenly, the guy that weighed it put it down as 2.2 tonnes (the weight of my dads ute) instead of 873kgs (the weight of corolla) so we made money

 

 

 

we polished the back end of the car it came up imaculate there is not 1 dent on it it was a great buy

 

 

 

my old man gave the car a polish it came up excellent, we swapped the clutch master cylinder over from the other car and it went took it rounhd the block no problems what so ever it was a great buy

Gee the new Corolla looks overrated Ben just like mine, its amazing how a polish can transform the appearance of a car. Is yours a 5 speed manual and does it have air conditioning. How many km's has it done, I'm looking forward to seeing the updates you do.

 

Thanks,

Ben.

Thanks mate its done 189,000kms it is a 5 speed and yes it has air con i was really happy because my other rolla didn't have air con, all i wanna do is paint those bumpers white in the earlier pics, i think the white bumpers will; really make the car look better
