The car has a new owner, I sold it last week. I'd be building another page for my new project, a 4 door kp.
This liftback spent three years in the garage, now i am reviving it to hit the road once more.
Before it got stucked in our garage, it underwent an engine rebuilt, changed the pistons, rings, had it "machine shop" etc which costed me around 28k. It was running smooth including the aircon and all its gauges and lights, it ran about 1000 kilometers. Then i bought a KIA pride which put my corolla to the garage for three years. I sold the KIA 2 years ago and have been using my wife's 2004 corolla lovelife.
Last Nov. 16, 2006 i went back to my parents home to revive the car. I changed the engine oil, oilfilter, sparkplugs, fuel hose, fuel filters, bearings of four wheels, oil seals, overhauled the brakes, replaced all rubber boots, hydrobox-not sure of spelling, all brake pads, gear oil, also changed some faulty wires and relays. I also bought a new maintenance-free battery and two tires. On Nov. 18, 2006, I was already financially drained for spending almost 10,000 and really frustrated, finally at 6pm i heard its engine run after 3 years. I'm so excited that i went staight to a car wash station to have it washed, at 7pm i left (i was alone) Pangasinan and travelled 100 kilometers to go home to my family in Cabanatuan City, entrusting my life to this car. With no problem at all, i arrived home safe at about 10pm.
what's encouraging me to restore this car is that all its orig parts(exterior and interior)are still intact, even the sidings are in very good condition. I'd be posting the interior soon.
This will be my project car, i'm a newbie in this field so i'd be needing alot of help from experts, if you have some tips on how to restore my car pls sign my guest book. thanks for viewing!
