Gti Corolla '89 Restoration And Engine Conversion

[Guest seosamhm1]

Hello, I'm new to this.

 

I have a 1989 1.3 GL Corolla, I am doing a 1600 twincam engine conversion and stripping the car down fully and getting a full car respray.

 

I am buying another car for the conversion , hopefully get one cheap thats been hit or the body work is bad in 400 - 600. If anyone knows of any let me know.

 

The car is white and I'm getting it sprayed a glossy black.

 

 

I'll keep post photos until I'm done.

Its been in a shed for around 13 years but theres still odd rust patches on it and the sills will need replaced. other than that its a solid shell

Hi mate,

 

nice car, and look forward to seeing conversion pics.

 

We actually have a members rides section where you can document your conversion and use it as a bit of a blog.

 

So ive moved this thread there for you to keep updating.

Next is getting the 1.3 engine out of it :)

Got the engine out now, next is for doing bits of sanding around the car and still need to get the dash out of it. Any ideas on how to remove it, have all the screws and everything out but it still feels like its stuck in there somehow??
