  skippy4life's 1996 Toyota Corolla

 

 

Well, I just recently bought this 1996 Toyota Corolla. It took me a good while to find a good one in this condition. What I'm aiming for is a sleeper that will suprise anybody. I want my car to be unique, meaning no outrageous paint or bodykit.

 

So far passing SMOG was a bit of hassle because the car was from out of state and I live in Cali. I got it to past smog legally and now im very content with the progress. I have it fully registered under my name and all fees are completely paid off.

 

I recently got new tires, a new clutch and a damn good tune up. I have yet to come up for a name for my car. Lots of ideas are just running through my mind. Right now, I might consider installing power door locks along with a good alarm and a damn good sound system. Other than that, I do plan on swapping the engine and I'm still debating between which one to choose. My plan is to just save up my money until I figure out what to spend it on first.
