Cheapo Corolla build

[mattscar]

Here is my 1987 Corolla SR5 coupe purchased last October. Ran great for 2 weeks until it started overheating. Thus leading to a BHG .Ironically I previously owned a 86 with the SAME EXACT specs in close to everything and it too only ran for 2 weeks. The 4AC really hates me


Here is my very light list of to do/goals:

-Repaint interior and exterior
-Stripped interior w/ sound deadining removal
-New pads/shoes
-Get the S* box at least running with crap 4AC (Temp)

(Next year or possibly the coming months )

-OEM 16v bigport 4AGE Swap (Rebuilt)
-Koyo radiator w Samco hoses
-Homemade coilovers (AGX,GC,T3 plate)
-SSR longchamps on Falken Azenis rubber (AutoX set up)
-Konig Rewind on whatever rubber (Drift set up)
-Whiteline rear sway bar
-T3 4 links
-T3 panhard bar
-TRD bushings
-GTS LSD Rear end
-Cusco roll cage
-1 Bride seat
-Takata Harness
-NRG harness bar

Goal is reliable and safe and mild. Its going to be mainly a practice tortoise in a local drift track.

But anyways here are some pics:


Here is the turd facing my dads GTS.



I bought fake J blood skirts for $30. I am not too fond of em.



Here is the turd in my backyard after I removed the heavy arse front bar and the ugly side skirts. Also I put on some temporary Enkie rims because I was bored as hell.


I decided to do the $50 paint job because I had dents and crap all over the car. Plus I was sick of silver 86's.


I traded a pair of rewinds for a zenki front bar. I mocked it up with some zip ties. Not bad. Not done...




I did a little exterior stripping, fixing some dents and I began prepping the car for paint.


I did interior stripping for sound deadining removal. I am will eventually do this some time this week.


A little more prepping/stripping...

I apologize for the mess. Everything may look "just scattered" but I assure you I know where everything is.

Ok tommorow finish body prep and possibly first/second coat.
