Irish Corolla GTcoupe restoration
Hi all ,been on here a while now and been meaning to put up a few pics of my ongoing restoration . Have the car 4-5 years now .Parked it up in the garage a couple of years ago and proceeded to strip it to a bare shell. Thats the stage its at now .With work ,family etc. i dont get much time to devote to it ,but im not gonna cut any corner or rush any part of the build .

Good luck with it: I see you have a long way in front of you Wink
As long as you have the room to store it and work on it from time to time it won't matter. Smile

@sexy16 , ya its original '87 Burgundy .I think it is the nicest colour in an ae86.

@igor stallion , it is not too bad in fairness ,it has a small bit of rust in the usual places ,ie. sills and rear pocket sections but the bootfloor ,bulkhead etc. is in perfect condition . It will hopefully in time be fully rust free and rustproofed with a lot of work .

thanks for the good comments lads
