Hey guys, Ive been checking out all the other members rides and decided to start a thread on my project.

My AE82 CS sedan with the boring old 4A-C (It's not that bad i can think of worse).

Basically i've wanted to clean it up then wanted to get rid of it and now i've decided to keep it (any corollas better than no corolla.)

 

A few details

09/1988 Corolla CS Sedan

5 speed manual

White, blue and soon to mix a bit of red in temporarily.

Original driveline 330 000 kms and still going strong.

 

Future plans include

*4AGE smallport, then turbo/Sc when i get my blacks

*Fitting unknown front bar in my avatar (have seen the exact same on a few AE86s)anyone have more info, i'll post pics of it later.

Fully functional AE92 Dash

All electrical features

Set of 16s for cruising

19s for show lol no really

New KYB Excel G struts (quoted 580 for all 4 yesterday, how does that price sound?)

and fit the superlow kings i have lying in the shed.

Clean up and body filler the rain sills

For the moment i'm replacing the shot standard brakes with those from a standard AE92, not much difference but a fair bit fresher look and feel.

window tint and all the other usual improvements

 

The main emphasis at the moment is cutting out the bloody rust.

 

A few photos- bit rough (1.3Mpix phone resolution)

 

Dash and rest of the interior is coming out for AE92 conversion, sandblast and fresh coat of paint

 

My wheels, scored 3 off the uncle-in-law when he bought his wife her corolla and he couldnt

find the forth so he handed them over and i tracked the forth down. 4 for the price of 1.

Currently paint stripping them for a respray, I'm thinking white. I've snapped up progress

pics of the rims.

1. Too shiny damn i hate chrome

2. Paint stripped

4. Primed up ready for sanding and paint.

The rear end has been stripped so i can blast it all and upgrade and respray everything. (Do

rear sway bars meant for the twinky fit in the sedans?? comfirmation please)

more stripping

The exhaust i scored off one of my mates.

And not to forget the house rattling Lightning Audio stereo setup(soon to be powered by jaycar)

And lastly a few shots of the father-in-laws 2002 Beetle. Have to say i was pretty anti -volkswagen

until a drive in this and a turbo jetta. Rims have slowly been growing in size,

15..16.17.18(current).. and he's now been tempted into 20s.

And

New KYB Excel G struts (quoted 580 for all 4 yesterday, how does that price sound?)
