My Beat Up, Fix-Er-Upper

I am in the (slow) process of fixing and customising my little E90 1991 Toyota Corolla, I bought/ got it last March as a birthday gift for $200 and have fallen in love with it.

 

It doesn't look like much at the moment, but it is excellent engine-wise.

 

So far I have only added the 2 fog lights to the front, a single fog light to the back (extra reverse light), aftermarket steering wheel & boss kit, seat covers and floor mats.

 

I have removed the mud flaps to get away fom the grandpa look, and will very soon be adding dark window tint 35%, new paint work on the sketchy patches, custom exhaust and 14 inch rims, thinking of lowering it but would love some advice if this is a good idea or will it change the camber of the wheels and add un-needed stress on drive joints?

 

All in all, i love the car, it drives well, it just needs a new look.

 

I'll post again when i add something new.

nice score..

 

i'd leave the mud flaps and go rally style ;)

 

14's? is that standard size for that model, or were they still 13's? i'd love to see something old school offset on it with fat treads and pumped guards..lol

 

if you are concerned about steering geometry, only lower it a bit. If you truly want it lower than that get smaller tyres ;) you get better gear ratios as an added bonus with that too :D.
