WELCOME TO MY DRIVEWAY
This is my 1988 bluetop corolla GTS
This is what she looked like when I got her back in November 2001.
At first i hated it just cause it's a corolla (NOW I PREACH ROLLA). I mainly bought it cause of gas.
After the winter I decided to repaint the car because it was good to me over the winter and 50 000km so I figured I�ll keep her. This was a fun project, the red interior made it difficult finding a colour. I wasn�t gonna paint it red cause I hate just red, black was a NO NO cause black on cars sucks and I wasn�t feeling white. Then I say a picture of a Ferrari 360 modena with silver and red interior� I found it, but getting that specific colour silver wasn�t easy. I did all the work at home by myself during free time.
It took a day to strip it( doors, bumers, windshield, everything off)
Close to 4 days for bodywork, 2 days prep time and a good day to paint her in Ferrari silver.
This is her freshly painted and put back together
