Gti No.# 2

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Hi all,

A lot of you know about my Project Corolla GTi-16 (AE92) and now that she is in a brilliant condition - bar a knackered crank that I'm sorting now - I thought I'd turn my attentions to something else.

Recently my dad decided to sell his Corolla T-Sport and Hyundai Coupe, but he still needed a runaround as his project car is an R32 Skyline.

So I decided to find him a GTi! :D It's cheap on insurance for him, it's easy to live with and reliable as hell.

So here she is;

I don't know what we are going to call her though...

Our plans are literally to get her into a concourse condition, the interior is spotless and needs no work, however there is a little rust underneath on the NS Sill but you really can't see it unless you're under the thing. Rash was a true gent and let us get the car up onto a ramp so I could poke around and check the usual areas. There is a little surface rust dotted around but we'll have it all sorted out before she goes through the harshness of winter.

She has a full Toyota Service History, Receipts for all work done and anything that has been replaced has been done with Toyota Genuine Parts including that Sunroof! She has been waxoiled and undersealed every two years and the oil has been changed mid way between each service with fully synthetic oils. Th result is a 4A-GE with 215000 miles which drives like a bloody dream!! :D

Right now though I'll swap out the old Radiator for a second hand one that was thrown in at no extra cost, and swap out that Honda number plate...

Thanks Hou and Gaz for the ride from the station!

What do you all think?

Gaz - And after all my pressing my dad to get a foam lance, you still slate it. Wouldn't expect anything else...

Dangermooser - thanks mate, I know that if I'm the one looking after it then it's safe for another 20 years! :D That said it is my dads though and I am just employed mechanic, proven today as I have already fitted the new radiator since my last post.

Raistline - you my friend, are scarily close to realising my long term goals ;)

Thanks guys, it really is a gem!

Thanks Hou and Gaz for the ride from the station!

Why does Gaz keep getting thanks, he just came for the ride?

Nice motor though dude, told you Rash would see you right!

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Yeh was good seeing you mate, and thanks a lot!

Again thanks for not trying to kill me, I know I am the most finicky toss pot there is with these, I just wanted to know what we had to do to fix her up! :P

You've sold us a gem and I am happy to be taking care of it.
