Aights, as most of you know... i recently bought a 1985 toyota corolla SR5. Over the next few months im going to be, doing the body work, a head swap and replaceing brakes clutch and the rear diff. Basiclly converting it a a Carb'ed GT-S...
DAY 1
Me and my brother brought it to the garage today. I started by cleaning it out and vaccuming the interior, then i continued to removed the hood and deck lid. They both had minor dents in them that will need to be pounded out. One tail light was broke so i pulled them both out. I'll be buying a set of JDM soon.
There was a large dent\ crease in the rear end, im assuming one of the previous owers backed into a pole... Its going to need a new rear bumper but thats ok. The major thing is the odd shaped dent that i cannot pull out. I'm going to recruit my pops to fix that... its out of my league.
In the trunk the previous ower being a "handy-man" decied to fill the rust holes with construction foam. It took nearly an hour to scrap most of it out... but theres still alot left in there. Theres GIANT holes in the trunk and wheel well, but im getting the welder in about a week.
The headlight motors seem to be broke, but I dont really care, i can get off my *Censored**Censored**Censored* and lift them up... a strange thing about them is the passangers side is like an inch away from the fender while the drivers side is flush.
I finished up the day with grinding on the wheel well openings, I have a bad feeling that theres already been body work to this car... but anywayz i decied to quit when i tried to turn on the compressor and my dad stole the hose...
I have a feeling this is going to be a loonngg project...but i am prepared to work.
I'll update ASAP...
