So,
Figured I should start a thread on here.. progress will be slow but it has to start somewhere.
Went to look at a few cars, the first few just weren't what I was after... too modded and poor condition. Saw this car for sale and took a trip down to view it. Few little bits to sort, wheel refurb, front tyres, weeping camcover but overall it's been well looked after and not abused. A deal was done and then came the horrid wait until collection!
Picked up the car on 6 August from Portsmouth on 91152 miles...
Nearly home, 90 min later.
Obligatory late night Shell petrol station shot...
Then due to the horrid weather and work it took me a little while before I had the chance to give the car a proper clean
Off to Retro Rides Gathering at Prescott Hillclimb this weekend just gone with Steve in his insane AE86... 200bhp from a 1.6 at 9000rpm!
And some of the cars on The Corolla Brotherhood (my blog) stand. Most had left by this point
So plans for the car for now are to just enjoy it before winter sets in... K&N intake ordered and will be making up a sealed enclosure, then some h&r springs and a wheel refurb in either black, matt bronze or Shadow Chrome.
While it is my only car, I don't drive it to work but will be doing some prep for winter soon, some spare wheels with winter tyres and full underseal.
Impressions so far.. loving it!
