It's back. The toyota tercel / corolla ii / sprinter
Car history is; little old lady, japclassics, perfectionist, nathan76, dude called chris, me.
It's generally pretty tidy all round, especially the interior. Came with a huge amount of spares and body panels, which I'll be putting to good use.
Plan is to sort the shell out. Rusty rear arches could be sanded back but will get them cut out and replaced with the spare arches and sills if need be. Front wing replaced with the spare one and then it sent to the paint shop to be painted.....gold. Well I call this car a gold colour. I'm not going to change the colour. I may be tempted to have the lower half a different colour like the SR editions.
Engine will just have a general service and cleaned up. Polished valve cover etc... I don't think it would be worth ploughing monies into this old engine so looking at engine swaps. Maybe 4wd it.
Brakes will be overhauled. Ordered some brakelines via swampy76 and better pads etc... are on the way.
Suspension wise it's riding quite nicely considering how low it is now. Looking for cheap coil overs, see polo 6n mentioned abit with these old corolla's.
I really like the mr2 alloys that are on it so will get them refurbed in anthracite. The steel winter set I will paint black.
Then will just maintain it and enjoy driving it.
