Here we have a ruined Yaris.
No cool, so I might as well make it even more less cool.
Previous owner was one of those young women *rolls eyes*.
Looks o.k. doesnt it?
Until you look a bit closer!!
Reversed into a bollard.
Crashed into?? Lots of paint missing and exposed primer, somehow?
Dragged along a wall.
Wonder how much a spray job to cover that primer up would be?
Fixed.
On to the wheels.
I bet Wellers don't clear the front calipers.
Better invest in spacers then.
POKE!!!
Well with the front wheels protruding an extra 20mm, I'm probably going to need to cover them with something.
Pokey
Add traveller. "Hhmm, yes. That looks about right. Pass the gaffer tape and drill,"
Add rivetts.
With varying levels of sucess.
Bit of superglue, bit of swearing, and all done.
I know its traditional to roll with 4 arch flares, but theres only poke at the front, so I only need two.
Necessity over style.
The Yaris is hillarious and I would reccomend one to anyone as a dailly. they're like a K11, but with a bit more style.
45 Mpgs round the doors, well equipped, cheap as anything to tax/insure/run, and highly reliable.
Bonus points for hilarious OMG-LCD Clockset, that only the driver can see.
Now to lower it. Hmmmm. I could just drag a tow strap to make it LOOK low till I can afford springs?
There! Its lowered.
Part of it touches the ground. At all times.
Cant get lower than that.
Been fiddling with my knob as well.
Horrible!
Thatll do.
Front end:
Take one Yaris bonnet. Preferably one that has dropped on a rear corner.
Add sandpaper, lubricate with elbow grease.
Keep going till you get bored.
Get the roller out. Slap it on.
Add cool grille that is made from lies.
Didnt really fit, so hit it with a hammer. Then loosened the hinges a bit. Then removed the bumpstops. Then kicked it.
Then it fitted.
As I was in an "engineering" mood, I decided to professionally debadge and dewiper the rear end too.
Pending the purchase of a bung (which will be daubed in red ox) I have uttilised engineer grade Duct Tape to keep out rainwater and snakes.
Cheers to Liam for invaluable help.
Conservitavely, I recon I must have added about 15hp today.
Surely the fastest non turboed 1.0 on the streets now?
Got to be up there. Right?
More bolt on shenanigans.
Annoy your neighbours and make people say Barry and Boys in the same sentence with a 4inch fart can.

Now I just need a bigger manifold. Or one with less holes in. And a larger middle section.
More shitness.....
Sh1tty holed manifold:
Lets get a new one on.
Clean the gasket up:
A week of plusgas penetrating fluid on the stud nuts, aaaaaaand>
Thats better.
Lets switch the wheels off.
Ahhhhhh, thats sh1tter.....
Attack the rear end!!
Moar idiocy.
Lets stick graphic novels to our posterior!
Still wet, needs more coats.
Finally sorted some springs, so she will be dropping soon.
I promise.
