hey!
I've started a new build thread because the other one sucked.
I started this project in about 2005-6 can't remember.
It began with a pretty torn up 1972 te27 corolla.
When I got the car it came as pictured, 13"rims, 2tg, roll cage, lowered, gutted.
The price was great so I accepted what I was getting. Little did I know, I should have settled for more.. I was young, naive.. and full of gusto...
Upon further inspection I realized a few things. The 2tg felt weak, the roll cage welded in poorly, lowered in a fashion I would grow to hate (cut front coils and de-arched leafs) interior cut dangerously to shreds, steering sloppy and overall un-satisfactory.
Still, I did then and still do love the car, so a decision was made to re-do everything...
