GRUBZ Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Hi everyone this is my corolla story, i bought the car a little ova a year and half ago for $200 with the intention to do a hilux motor swap. Soon realizing that if i was going to change the engine i may aswel make it worth it hahaha. It sat in my parents garage for the best part of 6 months while i decided what to do with it, in that time i prepared the car for painting and striped it, i purchased a half cut from the local jap shop and mum and dad arrived home from work one day to find half a car being craned of a flatbed into their driveway taking up more space. With the threat of being kicked out i had to send the car of to get motor in. Its now back at my place to get wired, then back to the shop for a tune, then to the pits and happy driving!!!!! things still to do 1 wiring 2 fit ali radiator + thermo 3 REPAINT (was a quick sat morning job) 4 fit quarter panels 5 fit interior 6 rechrome tow ball 7 ? 8 ? 9 ? 10 ? just little bits and pieces left after that then test her out at motorvation in the snake pit if its ready!! Still havnt got a name for the car yet any suggestion? Quote

I had 2 wrecking cars and 2 cars in my driveway at one time. Parents were never happy about it lol As for names... Ghetto Rolla, Paul Walker's Ride, Death Trap 101, The Brown Streak. lol I'm sure you can think of some better ones :wink: Quote
