forgot about this thread!! cheers for comments!

yeah the paint code, had to find that out a while ago, got a touch up stick kit from toyota, so when i get a chance i will get it sorted.

i got it for £1300 in the end, one or two little nigley bits needed sorting. since last update have:

-Added the import number plates on front and back

-good valet inside, was a bit messy.

-moved the dials about abit, want to source a radio cage thing to put head unit back in original place.

-3X tcuts in one go!!

1x polish

2x wax with meguires

-metal polish on exhaust.

the hardcore TLC i gave is has realy changed the cars look, it looks sooo much better. its brought out the metalic flakes in it loads, and in the sunshine it realy gleams nice!

got some pictures, not very good mind! will try and get them posted!

thanks for all the comments people ;)

well as for this cars status, not much has changed to be frank, ive been using it as a daily while mine is off the road, so once mine is done, this can be taken off for a few weeks and start to get things done on it.

wheels will be for sale at some point, as will the bumper at some point. but im sure not for a while though. BIG plans coming for it, ive had along hard think about it, and come up with somthing that will look truely amazing :D will be a while until it is at this point of completion, but good things take time!!

keep an eye out on this, will get very interesting...

lol if it was for sale mate you cud have it! but as i say, big plans. infact its yours for £1700.. steal at that i reckon :p

anyway bit of an update, while mine was going nowhere fast i had a bit of time to play with some bits on this one today. did a few bits that were annoying me, and also made a start on engine bay.

- sorted the "Pinking" it was suffering from, adjusted the ignition timing by 1-2mm, sorted the problem.

- got some new bosch wiper blades, old ones where wanked out, to the point that they fell off when you used them lol

- got some blue silicone hose for the relocation of the engine breather filter.

- sprayed rocker cover, fuel rail, and cambelt cover Cherry red pearl, onto a silver base coat!

- sprayed the exhaust manifold heat sheild silver.

- ordered a new induction kit

- made a start at looking for a corrola inlet mani.

anyway heres a few pics of progress and stages of the day :p

the engine bay as it stands now :
