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.

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. :no:

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]

[Big_Dave]

Dude, I really dig those Longchamps. Longchamps rule! :lmfao:


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

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


wow... nice work bro.

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


Dude, I really dig those Longchamps. Longchamps rule! :lmfao:

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

:D 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. :goodjob:

I agree with them on that swap. 100%, no doubt. --no 2nd thoughts. IMO, full-proof for an sr5. As for the bumper, :D 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. :D


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.

:D --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. :D

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. :cry: My excitement and anticipation grows evermore.

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

-NCRCAs
-Custom front bumper guard
-Dave and I painted/pinstriped on the side "GarageZero.Com"
-the diff was welded but not anymore.
-exhaust all the way back

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.
