Hey guy's.
Well i got bored and i thought that i would show you all my car that i've been very slowly working on piece by piece.
Everything is dead stock at the moment untill i start to weld up the back and get a re spray.
Has Original 4k-c with 4 speed manual. 155,000 genuine k's.It's gota be the 3rd one of this exact model i have ever seen and mind you i have been looking everywhere for bits. This is the orginal square headlight version.
Now to the part on were i got it from. My fathers freind has this car sitting in his garage for a good 6 months just sitting there collecting dust and mind you he allready had 3 cars. So i said to him i'll give ya $25 for it ( Cartoon of VB ), sure enough he said yea take it. So i did and here it is now.
Also to add to a funny part. I found in the glove box some reciepts showing that he had just spent $1400 on a new clutch, spark plugs and leads as well as a full overhual. I think it was at 150,000k's it got done. So i was bloody happy with my find.
Well enough with the garbage and here is some pics of it:
The side of the car, the reason there is a red door is because the old one was totaly full of rust.
Another side pic
Funny enough i managed to get 225's on the car allround. And their behind the guard.
The bonnet. Not original due to rust and the one on there at the moment cost me $160 due to no rust. bloody rip of.
Here is another place were it rusted out and i had to fix up.
 
This i didn't do lol. I got someone else to do this and turned out they were a shocking welder.
All this was rust, i could shove a screw driver through.
O and ofcourse. No wondor i can never bloody find anything. Here is my shit heap of goodies.
And thats all, tell us what you think

Ok here is another pic, just showing the dash thats going in it. I got that dash done 2 months ago for $350 for the whole lot including the woodwork. You'd be surprised to know that woodgrain is a spray paint.
Others are just showing that it's a genuine ke38. In the engine pic you'll see there is a new accelerator cable and other bits and pieces. As i said earlier the whole engine has had a full overhaul.

One of my sister's old friends had a corolla station wagon that looked like that and he put a 12a turbo in it 
IT WAS VERY FAST!!!!!!
