seabiscuit Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The car's already got a 5K and K50 so the plans are to rebuild the engine, back to bare metal cut out all the rust and spray her, replace all suspension etc. Basically the same things I did with my old Celica. Yeah while she's got regp on her I'll come along. As it says in the other (Canberra) thread/s we're planning for Sunday 7th of March for a BBQ and cruise. The last one was great fun :) Welcome aboard, Damo! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in learning more about Corolla's, I suggest not to hold back on your first car (unless it's a museum piece). The more you break, the more you bits get to fix and learn about! :no2: But not really. Best way is to try and maintain the car yourself. Do all the servicing yourself, familiarise yourself with what's what and you'll only go upwards from there. If it's more a case of something needs diagnosing and then fixing, give that a shot and ask for assistance as I'm sure it will be given! I'm willing to lend a hand mate. Corolla's are great fun to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes well but just has been killing my wallet driving it everywhere.. Hence the purchase of the corolla.
