Had a bit of fun the other night with a mate who is also interested in photography! He decided he wanted to use my Corolla as a subject! Nothing over the top just a nice quality photos! Heres the first finished one of me and my Rolla {}
cmon wheres the slam!!! are you keeping that enigine setup or are you gonna go crazy? v8 maybe? lots of room in there
nice pics it's annoying knobbers keep bashing into it. for the love of god stop fiddling and deck it!!!
great project. where did you get the jap chrome strip for the rear lights or was it a full light unit you got? are the front lights and grille new? where from? pm if you can. keep up the good work! I know a guy with new front and rear bumpers if you need
Ill PM U in a bit!! The chrome strip on the rear light is just simply 12mm chrome trim from Halfords and it looks perfect!! Budget mods FTW!!
UPDATE!!!! Finally i have an update for you all!! Well the Corolla went for its MOT this week and it failed!! To be honest Im not upset as Ive done well to have 2 years of MOTs not costing me a penny on such and old car!! Well it failed on fecked Exhaust, Rear brakes and a 10p sized hole in the inner arch!! Not to bad really!! Well the exhaust was dead and rusted through so I used this as an excuse to get the exhaust I bought earlier fitted! As the whole exhaust was pretty cack I ended getting a full stainless system made up for it from the downpipe back, by Paul at Alan Jefferys in Plymouth! He did a top job and it sounds nice and deep without being too loud!! Heres some pics of the finished article.................... {} {} {} {} {} {} Also While the car has been off the road this week and ive had a week off with good weather, I started to fix up the bodywork and the damage to the front end! There was a few rusty bits on the doors and rear arch so ive sanded, treated, filled where nessessary and painted to get it back looking nice again!! Its not perfect but it cost me next to nothing to do and it will last till the car eventually has a full respray sometime!! Heres some of the pics of the work......................... The damage before... {} {} After I removed the bumper it revealed this mess....... {} Filled the hole after straightening the front panel.......... {} Primed...... {} Da Daaa......... looks a bit better............ {} Brand new bumper........... {} I havent got pics yet but i painted the back of the bumper with silver hammerite as these are cheap copy bumpers and do corrode unfortunately.... {} Ive got a mate whos gonna polish up my Dished wheels for the summer and im onto that suspension and Quad headlights next!!! Watch this space!!
2 years youve owned her and two years shes had to drive round with people looking up her arches tutut haha otherwise i always like checking back to this thread as its a nice motor 'slowly' getting sorted
Yes i have some money now to do just that!! My target is to have it all done by japfest at the latest!!! yes i know but it doesnt help Ive had to spend my money on fixing it after people keep crashing into it!!!!
UPDATE Right another little update from this week for you all!! Ive nearly finished off tidying the bodywork now and I only have a few small bits to finish off! These are a few pics from the last week.............. {} {} While it was in the air i got some better pics of the custom exhaust............. {} {} {} Ive also polished up my new chrome bumper for the front and got that back on! It will probably have to come back off when I do the Twin headlights soon tho................ {} {} LOL :lol: {} {} {} And my 14x9 Enkei wheels went off for a polish and a paint................ {} {} Unfortunately I found they couldnt be split to be painted as they had been welded together???? Well at least they wont leak air I guess and ill never need to split them again hopefully!!!............... {} And as the car stands today I thought Ide enjoy the sun and take some photos after washing it................... {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
