    ok well i picked up a 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS Kouki hatch but i obv forgot to take pics of the car be4 i put it in the car tent and up on jackstands(no room to get a clean full shot of it), so after i get it actually started-take better pics...but heres some pics to hold u off til then --

    1st pic is when the guy before me had it....i do not have those rims, i have 2 newer celica rims in rear and 2 enkei rims? i think in the front as temps

    the good- came with Kaaz 2way lsd, cusco strut bars, gt steering wheel, trd header, hks intake and exhaust, H4 conversion with HIDs, trd springs(not sure what spring rates are tho), brembo rotors and hawk pads

    the bad- 3 small rust spots- that i found so far, dont look 2 bad, sucks on rear fender at the bottom, 2 blown tokico struts, leaks oil(fixing that as we speak), no paint :( -- spraypainted, back pass side brake is seized to rotor, also needs new hatch dampers

    im currently in the middle of putting in a new headgasket and waterpump, and the motor should be up and running good again (was leaking oil)

    so keep an eye out cause i have lots to do

    PLANS--- are to get the JDM zenki bumpers, corner lights, Sprinter taillights, paint it either panda OR all white with black bumpers..not sure yet, and also do a 20v swap and build the crap out of it, new suspension and prolly alot more stuff along the way

    car was running and driving

    took front seats out and cleaned up the interior a bit and checked out what needs to be done

    after these pics below, i decided to take off the GTS spoiler and found out there was to holes for it and thats where the water was coming in from, so i taped it up for now til i can borrow a welder from a friend and take a whole day for welding on the car
