For all the 86er fans out there...my project is done

[Redlyne_mr2]

Over the last few months Ive been restoring a 1986 Corolla gts. With the help of a good friend of mine we did everything from swap in a new engine to weld in new rear quarters and strip the car of all rust then lowered it prepped it for paint then played with the timing to make the car even a bit more enjoyable. Here is the finished product as well as the original thread

[Inthered]

Ryan, did you paint the interior metal on the car? Do you plan on getting the jdm bumbers?

The interior metal was left alone, I think Ill do the door sills and hatch sills right away but under the hood its still the original color. I was going to pick up the kouki front last month but I decided to leave the stock one on until winter is over. The usdm stock one can take quite the beating

[benyl]

nice car:thumbsup:

[Paul]

saw you bookin' it around my neighbourhood, right away i knew what and who ya were. Nice, looks friggin awsome, goes to show that hard work and a little imagination pays off big time.

[Khyron]

Did you actually spray it in your garage or did you take it to a shop/bay?

Khyron

Ryan's friend sprayed the bumper but the rest of the car was painted at Maaco :)

[Wildcat]

i want to buy it. :drool:

[Masta Dz17]

sweet so so sweet, got any pics of the interior and under the hood?

[Akagi Redsuns]

Looking good....but I do have a comment.

Are you going to do the full "panda" style Trueno paintjob? Looks sorta off when the lower sides are all white and the black is not carried over from the front and rear bumper. Or maybe I watch way too much Initial D :)

[illeagle]

looks sweet.... you should get some deep dish mini-lights for the car.... I remember seeing your car last meet, she stands out....
:thumbsup: Good job:thumbsup:

[GQNammer]

My buddy is getting the silvertop for his 86 in a couple months. Is the red top better? All i know is that the one he's getting is the Supercharged silvertop with 20 valves running 165hp.

[Fiery_Ramen]

wow.... :thumbsup:

[Keekee]

silvertops don't come supercharged
only the gze's and it has 160 factory rated horse power. FYI

[ZorroAMG]

Not knowing much about the Corolla, I don't really have an opinion on the car itself, but the restoration you have done on it is fantastic...nice job Mr. 3 car money bags! ;)

I contemplated the panda look but it isnt for me...I dont want to look like a copied initial D, I like the all white look much better anyways.
