My friend is building a dope street Corolla. It’s about to be painted, here are some pics from the prep.

Pretty well stripped. Engine and transmission are on the ground in front of it. See the suspension - this was once a formidable street machine with a fancy built engine. But it’s been on hiatus for a few years getting ready for paint. Extremely light, simple, RWD sedan is a disturbingly good combination.

This is the paint on the parcel shelf, one of the few reminders of the brilliant gold this car once was

This is a stock Toyota steering wheel, and it’s absolutely awesome.

That steering wheel. If I wasnt going to sell my MR2 I would totally get one of them for it.

Why are you selling it!? I’ve heard they’re sort of rare, but god they’re cool.

I originally bought it as a means of getting me to and from college with the intention of turning it into an autocross car after school. But this past year I moved and I need a daily driver that is durable enough to get through Philly roads 4 times a day which would kill the MR2. So rather than sacrificing the MR2 I want to give it another chance at life with someone else.

Fair enough :) I’m sure you’ll miss it. At the moment I feel like any other car would feel like a let down compared to my MR2.

I’ll definitely miss it, but in the future I’ll definitely have another

Steering wheels were so good looking before airbags.

I think Porsche is doing a good job of combating this

Those are nice, things are better now with smaller bags.

I remember from my first Z32 300ZX vs my second. The second was so fat, and having the cruise control controls off the wheel was annoying too.
