Alright guys this was a impluse buy, bought it sight unseen.
Went up to Seattle WA and had it shipped backhome

Finally got it home.

Plan is to just clean up a little which includes..
1. Tucking away some wiring.
2. Adjust the ride height (not a fan of slammed cars).
3. Change wheels to some old school ones.
4. Driver seat is needs a some attention.
5. I have a spare momo steering wheel
6. Switch out these USDM bumpers for small bumpers.
7. Install rear spoiler.
8. Install new OEM dashpad.

Tiny like your baby?

Oracles, sorry I forgot to congratulate. Here people have to restore such models. You are fortunate to get yours in such a pristine condition. Do think it remained so throughout its life or was rebuilt later?

Thank you

Thank you.

It was bought from an older man who had kept it pretty much all stock,
previous owner did all the upgrades including the swap. Pretty much Everything on the car is in working condition. Interior is very well kept and is original.

Well road salt does a number on cars including rwd corolla, the reason this one is in better condition is because it didn't spend all its life in Seattle.

Congratulations on another great find. Setup looks excellent.

Which Diff and gear?

Oracles (Oracles) 2011-12-28 04:29:32 +0500 #10

Thanks you

Thank you.

It's running a stock diff, which will have to do for now.
I have a spare supra diff-lsd and a AE86 GTS diff for future use.

Made little changes...
Car was slammed so much it was very hard to clear the driveway.

Change the rims with taller tires, rear slammed on 4" blocks so now its rubbing,
I dont want to roll the fenders so I'll switch 4" with 2" blocks to fix rubbing issues.

Little paint on the trims, I'll finish it off with same color grille and hood trim.

These big bumpers are called "park benches" and were the result of D.O.T changes on US Autos.
They'll be replaced with smaller (better looking bumpers).

like... no like .... what do you guys think?
