Corolla from El Salvador (little by little) *UPDATE MAR09*
Well, this is my car. I bought it 2 years ago, in april 2006. 5 days after I bought it the engine blew, and I installed another one and away we go.

This is the car as I bought it, after some cleaning:

On november 2006, new parts for it:

All 2007 the car basically was the same, except that I found the mesh rims, changed the broken dash and got the headlight covers and new corner lamps:

In 2008 I have started to fix it up. I just got a set of OEM side skirts. Donor car:

Once I took the car to the shop for the skirts being painted, I decided to fix up the bumpers since they had some cracs on them and also some minor rust on the gas door and under the LHS taillight:

I just love how my car looks now. I started to fix the interior also, I removed the roof and gonna have it cleaned, then the door panels and seats.

Maybe a couple of months later I might order some new wheels and fresh paint on it. Hurray!

Finally, I want to do the JDM front and rear bumper conversion, + TRD wing.

Tell me what you think. I will be posting new pictures and updating the process as I go.
