theres a million corollas at the northern yard, but alot of them have been pretty much cleaned out, they get all there stock on a thursday so ring them on the friday and see what they have. also ring other wreckers sometimes theres not much difference in price, if it 10 bucks more at a normal wreckers much rather they pull it cheers scott

hey johno my car is a piece of shit and i've got a tacho!!!!!!! did it only start rubbing when you put the new mags on there???? i don't know what there formal name is, i call them folders or duck bills, they are a proper sheet metal tool. they might do the job if there is enough room. also because there is a fold already there it will be easier, just go nice and slow don't bend to much or you will put an ugly crease in it. If you were in adelaide i would do it for you. they look like this all hardware shops sell them cheers scott

if i am going to be doing that work on my car i might as well put a sports clutch in it, anyone know a ball park figure on what the price difference will be??? in time i want to change to a twin cam, will it all just bolt togeather (gearbox, clutch) with the new engine????? cheers scott

i think my clutch is on it's way out, when the car is cold the clutch isn't engaging properly. It used to be going from first to second, but now it has started it 1st third and reverse this morning , has anyone had this problem before. As i have also mentioned the slave cylinder is leaking abit and the rubber boot is stuffed... any ideas anyone? johno u have had ur clutch re-done have u??? cheers scott

more then likely there is so much i wanna do to this car but don't have the cash, i am a forth year apprentice and have bought me house. i don't even have ten bucks to my name...... it sucks But when i get money it will be a different story :) cheers scott

not the twin cam what about u cheers scott

how ya going i thought that the dash lights were dim in my 85 seca, then i found the thing to turn the voltage up to them and they got brighter magically. have a look mine was under the steering wheel. cheers scott

naa mate SA no roadworthy here.. we only get done if a cop pulls us over and defects us depanding on the defect, minor defects aka bald tyres cracked windscreens you get cleared at the cop shop big defects like structual rust you have to go over "regency" it sends shivers down anyone in sa's spine that name... taking pictures of my car later on so you get a better idea of what it is like, not just a rust bucket.. cheers scott

I thought about doing it there was a 85 seca u pull it with a completely rust free body to bad it was light blue and looked like a fish bowl. But the interior has been trashed. the reason i bought that one was i need a car asap i wanted a seca and found that one $700 with 2 months rego near new tyres and mechanical sound (except for the things i have said before) I seen these things on the net somewhere for a hiace van that was just the rear wheel arch and 100mm coming up so you can cut the arch off weld that on and respray. Might be easier to leave it cheers scott

dunno haven't done it before, had to pick an easy one to didn't i!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the pics of the rust, i will get more of the car tomorrow cheers scott

yeah i got pics of the rust but i am fighting with the computer to get them put onto the site, i will work it out. nice car to johno been reading about yours. cheers scott

howz everyone going??? About a month ago i bought my first corolla, it's alittle less then average as i will describe to you. The biggest problem with it is the rust i have pictures and will post them. The couple of mechanical things wrong with it is the clutch slave cylinder, when it is cold in second it looks like i am bunny hopping but only alittle bit, because the clutch isn't engaging properly. I also just replaced the fuel tank the old one had a crack in it and petrol is to expensive to be droping on the ground everywhere. It also needs the timing done... Cosmeticly is an all new different ball park :lolcry:. The only bit of clear coat on the car is on the front side panels and the bonnet, i guess he ran up the ass of someone and had it repaired. The interior is stuffed you don't sit on the seat, you sit in it, if you get what i mean. The piece of the dash above the cluster has been snapped off i am still trying to work out how. I can't get the smell of dog and whiteox outta the car :y: . My drivers window doesn't go down all the mecernism is worn (i've got the door trim off at the moment). But for some stupid reason i still thinks she good car i get about 500ks off of a full tank which only costed me $66 bucks to fill from dead empty when i replaced the tank. It's also red and red goes faster But what is the best way to get rid of the rust in these places, cause i don't wanna replace the whole panel, can you buy that section and weld it up or something???
