Paint job - what color do you have in mind?

Also, try and update it like below (moving the indicators to the fender) - It's either 85 London Model or Sprinter 86 (Not Sure) but looks great.

Nice Car mashAllah, Good luck with the project

I will suggest you to copy front of this one completely. Looking decent.

revengez (revengez) 2011-09-21 18:57:46 +0500 #34

I think white colour will look more better than off white......

All the best for the project.

sinner__ (sinner__) 2011-09-21 19:40:57 +0500 #35

yes u are right ! but the thing is that if i change its color it wont be only body ! i would have to change the complete color so that there isn't a single inch of off white color in it and that wont be possible as its single vehicle with us and already we are feeling its absence ! as i said its a daily runner and family car too ! so color change is kept for future

as for the front look ! i think i will be doing the same u said

84 Model Front bumper with an extension - if you can't find the parking light, buy if off ebay or something.

sinner__ (sinner__) 2011-09-22 04:42:06 +0500 #37

what do u think about 86 bumper with its orignal extension ? ! have u seen that 1 ? its have good looks too thats why i opted for it ! 84 orignal extension are not availble ! but 86 are and they look really nice in them ! 84 may agar may custom extension bana loon that will break/bend in a week ! and plus 84 bumpers have rectangular indicators and 86 have bend type towards the sides ! what do u think now ? i gave it a good thought last night i decided to go for 86 bumpers for now ! if they were looking bad or somthing ill buy 84 bumpers and keep the 86 bumpers with me ! after all im not selling the car so i should atleast keep spare stuff when i have a chance when i find something in cheap price of it
and last but most important ! with 84 bumpers my cars main gaddar s sticking out in front and even downpipe can be seen ! also the 84 bumper was a bit short on my car

intoxicated (Intoxicated) 2011-09-22 04:47:25 +0500 #38

Chal fit hai .. 86 Bumper will be great too.

I would suggest to get the hood CF vinyl wrapped. I'm actually planning to do that to my ride.

MashAllah awesome ride you got there bro, no doubt its one of the greatest corolla ever produced !! Best of luck in restoring it and im also having almost exactly Same corolla as yours, its 86 DX Model white color with Black Interior, hopefully i will also be restoring my ride next year so your thread is very helpful for me

revengez (revengez) 2011-09-22 09:44:42 +0500 #40

U r right too..... Go for off-white but ask the painter to keep the colour light as possible.
