So I bought a couple more things today...

 

A standard set of leaf springs for the rear and replacement bootlid hinges and the ones on the yellow car are stuffed :(

 

Also, when my tax return comes in, I'll be getting this thing sandblasted and the rust repaired :)

I had my contact in Japan source me these - Clicky Clicky

 

Should make the old girl look great :P

how much extra did he charge you for the privelege?? if u don't mind me asking...

Nothing yet - we're still negotiating that. I've sent him $150 so if it comes to be less than that he can keep the rest :P

 

Postage is a killer though and not cheap so we'll see how it goes.

Nice, will look good when on the car. :P

What are you planning to do on the car in the next little while ?

Well, I gotta get a tooth pulled first, so once that is done, I planm on using my tax return moolah to get the bodywork blasted and then it goes in to get the rust cut out and new metal welded in, then a lick of paint (this will also include molesting the front and rear wheel arches for the flares and fitting up the front lip spoiler) :P.

 

While thats being done, I'm going to start getting the motor built :D

Nice.

Are you gonna let us know the colour ? or still leaving us in the dark ?

Still leaving you allllllllll in the dark :P

 

Let me just say that you wont be disappointed :D

after seeing some disgustingly awesome colors recently, i'll be very disappointed if this is anything but a corolla factory color.

Oh, poor Tate. *pats head* I wasnt even talking to you about the colour, so why are you bothering to even post in here?

 

But since I must reply to every smart-arse comment you make, factory colours are boring and since you're a fan of factory colours, YOU my friend, are also boring. :P

 

My 25 as it was before the dismantling wasn't even a factory colour. It was that TA22 Celica yellow.

as for colour, if you went for a factory TE27 colour.

then you would be in a league of your own!!!!

and we all know how you like to be different Raven.

 

worth a thought i rekon :P

 

cheers, scott

Candy Apple Blood Red FTW :P

 

I've seen that colour on a rolla before. It looks hot!! :P

I agree.

Something bright thats a TE27 colour will really set it off, and look the part.

Ravern,

I bet its one of the colours in the picture?
