My Corolla(s) progress thread - Lots of pics:::56K FTL!!

[SLOWLYbtngU]

Thanks...I get tempted to sell one,

but I just can't bring myself to do it.

GOOD!!!

[puregroove]

I love your yota's eddie!!!

Thanks bro!

sell me my car back

I'm afraid--I'm in way too deep already.

fosho!!! LMK can you have a passenger?

yep yep... at most events, it's only $10 to ride instead of $5 to spectate.

wow man I love your cars!! makes me want to get one and work on mine!!

It's never too late to come to the dark side:::

more update please

--will keep them coming.

The meet was fun, but it would have been a lot cooler if you could have made it. We had the only ae86 there this time. Oh yeah, we sold a first gen rx7 for scrap to pay for all of the hotdogs, chips, drinks etc. The rx 7 club guys were tore up about it! lol
OCT 25 2008 next O/S meet.

Yeah, bro...that makes two meets that I've missed. Oct 25 lands on a Saturday. *goes to check schedule*

[puregroove]

--been awhile but here we go:

14x7 0 offset Western Wheels
185/60/14 Doral

I am going to add more camber and lower the front end, before the V.

Installed the front bumper. --looks like I'm going to need more aggressive side skirts.

[Atlblkz06]

Sorry, but for all these pics you've just replaced the wheels? lol

EDIT: I think you should consolidate all the pics or tell us the page numbers or something.

[Autofab]

Still in the making! We do allot more than just euros!

True, in a lot of them. I guess, I need to make time to do some real mods. And yes, I've been meaning to put page #s on the 1st post of all the updates. Thanks for reminding me. Reps:::

[WalkS]

Dang Mr.Eddie, the corolla is looking good!
Props

[puregroove]

The white sr5 hatch was sold. --been replaced.

--picked this one up 3 weeks ago. Location is not at my place but the day before I drove her home.

Since I bought Larry, buffed and clear-coated in a few spots, lowered, rims, front lip, weber, and ganksta leanin' pipe.

--my new daily driver: '76 Corolla - 3 spd. auto

Thank you, Zero Garage.

[scabtastic]

eddie trying to be like me, but not rattled canned....LOOKS GOOD BRO!

[WalkS]

OH Snap. Nice find...

[puregroove]

^^^Thanks, guys.

Here's some progress on the '76 2dr:

I missing a few pics, but will get them up later on. All work, thanks to Zero Garage.







Fa sho...Zero's own Lincoln locker


Everything stripped to metal. Rust was found underneath a lot of the primer. Whoever had sprayed the car previously didn't quite seal it well.


--need a replacement passenger door. But this will do for now.




Freakin' trunk hinge snapped a chunk out of my thumb.




Weber Dual side drafts


Thanks Dave and John... more to come.




Mikuni Duals on the way. 'nother set of rims on the way, as well.

[HachiDori]

I'm so excited! I just came!

[D.Choe]

BALLIN!

Eddie I'm jealous of all the Yotas you have...

and Mikuni sidedrafts are the way to go

[puregroove]

You're always gonna have a yota heart, bro. You should just give in to the satisfaction.

[WalkS]

Oooo..can't wait to see more progress.

I've seen worse sheet metal that was worked back to show room quality. I think your in good shape! Keep it up bro!

[D.Choe]

lol



You're always gonna have a yota heart, bro. You should just give in to the satisfaction.

I know man. I miss driving the hell out of my rolla.

I'm thinking about something better though. Something with near 50/50 weight distribution and RWD...

[jdmjohn]

wow... nice work bro.

[Big_Dave]

Dude, I really dig those Longchamps. Longchamps rule!

Thanks, bro. Holla at me next time:::

Here's another shot while I was at Xtreme Auto Repair last week.

[FasTech]

I just did alot of reading up from like pg 5.....lol


Very nice work man. I'm wanting to get a coupe!

[Me86Rob]

So Eddie....John and Dave talked me into letting them doa 3tc swap on my coupe....so yeaaa.........im gonna need to borrow your old bumper

[K24cb7coupe]

damn, i heard you were having some work done to the car but i didnt think i was that extensive. And that wagon is so sick, ill trade you...? anyway good find and all your car are on point.

[puregroove]

mos def, man. My cars are def. in good hands.

--as long as it's not a convertible Mazda.

wow... nice work bro.

I think you're in the market for something pre-ae86.

Dude, I really dig those Longchamps. Longchamps rule!

You know what's up, Dave! --gettin' the hang of that sound volume button, yet?

I just did alot of reading up from like pg 5.....lol

Very nice work man. I'm wanting to get a coupe!

Like one guy said earlier in the thread, a lot of the updates were just a change of rims. The major changes have just begun.

Thanks and the more the merrier.

I agree with them on that swap. 100%, no doubt. --no 2nd thoughts. IMO, full-proof for an sr5. As for the bumper, it's doing a wonderful job collecting dust--a wonderful job. --considering the amount of difficulty involved in acquiring said bumper, I must save it for a rainy day.

damn, i heard you were having some work done to the car but i didnt think i was that extensive. And that wagon is so sick, ill trade you...? anyway good find and all your car are on point.

--preciate the love, homie. I have, very much, grown indefinitely attached to it. I must pass on your barter. I do, however, believe you should sell a car to finish that ganksterness of a starlet that is sad--sitting in timeout.

I was at the shop tonight. Due to more ideas set in motion and inevitable implementation, I won't be able to drive the car for a little while longer. My excitement and anticipation grows evermore.

[Big_Dave]

[puregroove]

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that has commented and given feedback. Thank you to everyone that has helped me with my cars. Thanks to everyone that will read this thread. I have learned a lot and look forward to learning more.

There is more to come.

Thanks, man. The cam is from BRD and is being used with the sidedrafts.



--been a while since I updated this thread. So much has been done. --guess I need to catch up.

-NCRCAs
-Custom front bumper guard
-Dave and I painted/pinstriped on the side "GarageZero.Com"

Thank you so much, John and Dave for all your hard work. We're makin' it happen, ByGod!

I have video footage that still needs to be edited. --guess this'll do for now.

The pics were taken by s13addict from 240atlanta.com at SoutheastDrift's Triple Threat over the weekend:
