Cosmetically for now, I am going to clean her up as much as possible. I have no major plans for a "real" paint job in the near future. Ever heard of the 50.00 paint job? I am very handy with the can. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. I don't find paint jobs practical for DDs. Making the car look newer and cleaner is first on the list of things to address.

My reasoning for this? I had my hatch painted a year ago and it's just not worth it for a daily driver and everything you put the car through. Other people suck...don't know how to drive and don't give a flip about the paint on your car (use your imagination).

Suspension will be next on the list. I can't stand cars at stock height. Throw me some ideas. I'm also searching on corolla sites for ideas. Extra Made is looking into some options for coilover setups for me as well...suspension components included.

Motor-wise, I am thinking boosted 4agze. Who knows, if I stumble upon some extra $$$, it might be a bigger motor. But the A-series motors tend to keep the weight distribution at it's optimal.

Feel free to throw me some ideas, guys.
