i finaly got around to posting my car build so here it is.

i bought this 85 SR5 corolla for $600 on CL when i got it the brakes were bad, head lights didnt work, a few oil leaks and i dident have a roof! thankfully i worked with a mechanic at the time and he helped me sort out alot of the problems...







so at this point the crap hit the fan in the worse kind of way my car broke down then i lost my job
and the car sat for almost a full year....

this is where i picked back up. come to find out it was my carb AND my crank pulley! (when it rains it pours right?)


i got my crank pulley welded havent had a problem since!



before i painted my bumpers



after



then i changed my turn signals and added fog lights



redid my roof


my interior work








when i cleaned and painted my rims i had to wet sand all of the brake dust off









Paint!
when i went to paint it i ran outa paint...



this is basicly how my car sits now but ive still got alot to do

it looks good....

I like the fun pattern on your head liner. Cool man.

I like it all but the sticker bombing... but overall it's cool man

lol its actually duct tape with graffiti on it. lol

its been a while since ive updated this so here it is.

so i did lowering springs,shocks,polyurothane bushings, megan racing inner&outer tie rods and ball joints









i still need to get an alignment but the steering feels so much more responsive! it was well worth the battle and time. but i was unable to get the bushings done for the 4-links and panhand bar.....i might just buy a new set but thats later down the road.

its low enough to pass the shoe test. :lol!:

good update, looks good...

thanks! the front shocks were rough...

looking much better. are you planning wider wheels, or at least spacing em out

yes im planing on getting some wider wheels those fenders looks so so empty. lol

Great looking progress man.

nice color choice on the final color....car has come a long way

I like the gauges all red. I did that to mine and I like it much better than the green at night

I like where this build is going, keep it up.

looking good man!
