hosking9898 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-89 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 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.
