markstoys Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I thought would post up a few pics and links about my car. Some one posted about it two years ago, and I have been lurking here ever since. I have been working on it since 2006, and the car is finally pretty much done. The summary is that it's a 1975 Corolla body that was in horrible shape when I got it. It was so rusted that I cut the firewall and the entire floor out. The shell sits on a chassis that I built to to hold the front and rear suspension from a Lexus SC400, powered by a V8 from the same donor car supercharged by a M112 from an SVT Mustang, and backed up by a T56 from and LT1 Camaro. Every bit of work required to do this was done by myself in my little two car garage. A complete build log can be found here: http://www.cardomain...-toyota-corolla I have a few videos, they are not very good-but better than nothing: http://www.youtube.c...11?feature=mhee I still have a lot to do: put the side glass back in, get the A/C working, install a sound system, finish the interior, and paint it--to name a few of the major things . I have just started to drive it around, it only has 14 miles on the odometer now, so I have a lot of engine and suspension tuning to do. In reality, it will never be "finished."
