So here are my current vehicles

2001 Skoda Octavia combi, my daily driver and my 1st ever car. don't mind the rust on tailgate, it has been repaired after these photos were taken. 

1984 Ford Escort 1.3 LX, my current project car. No big stuff planned, keeping it as original as possible because its a rare model. 

1973 Tunturi 'pappa' moped, 'restored' some years back. Its not original, rear is from a newer style one and front fender should be same color with the engine cover. 

 

And then the reason I'm on this forum, this rusty pos of a Corolla. Its not mine quite yet, I'm buying it tomorrow

Model year is still a mystery as it has no paperwork yet. Its fate depends on those, if it can be registered it will be fixed, if not it will be parts. 

Oh my. Good luck with that!  

I just realised....its a 2 door. You must really like that car. Good luck. Show us your progress as you go.

Thanks.                                                          And btw its not getting a full restoration, not even a full respray. 

Well, she is home. Turned out to be a 1982, 1.3 Super. And just about as rusty as i expected. 

Christ almighty!   Well one needs to get into the Xmas spirit. 

What exactly are your plans!

Some kind of ratty drift style build, hopefully road legal. I am looking into budget engine swap options.

Engine swaps.....Hmmmm....I would be praying for a Christmas miracle. Good luck.
