Well after speaking to me bodyshop bloke ive come to another money spending move...

Just ordered a new rear bumper cover and both rear mud flaps.. Rear bumpers a bit mashed from bumps ,scrapes and scraches.. would of been a right ***** to repair and as just about every other panel is new just thought "sod it" ! and as for the flaps,well they were so rotten they just fell apart when i removed um to do the 1/4's..

Another £200 spent but ay..

Sounds like you'll have a very nice looking corolla when it's all finished...

Do you think you'll keep it for longer now you've spent so much time/money on the beast??

Hell yeah mike.. This is all in prep for the 4AGZE conversion come the summer... Id like to fink il be keeping it forever.. whats it really gonna be worth in a few years time.. few grand tops...

Are'nt those mudflaps something like £50 each from Toyota??

[King Rocco]

Most definately!! It's one of those cars you get quickly attached too :D

4AGZE sounds like a very good idea, i'd imagine that the supercharger will give you a shedload more torque

Look forward to seeing how it all comes along!

Was that £250 for one rear arch cut out and replaced or both? Thats not a bad price.

The £250 is just for paint and labour to lay the paint.. The 1/4s didnt cost me to be done.. Ive damn good work buddies...
