1977 Liftback Needs Good Home!

September 17, 2006

Many years ago, I bought a 1977 Corolla Liftback and started restoring it. As tends to happen, time got the better of me and the car is still unfinished and has been gathering dust in my garage for 12 years, untouched. If anyone would like it - preferably for restoration but possibly for parts - it's free.

The car has several replacement body panels (bought new) including doors, front wings and rear quarter-panels. It also had an engine transplant (from ?1150 to 1600, from a donor Liftback), along with the front cross-member and (if I remember correctly) the rest of the transmission. The interior is a mess, though most of the bits are there! I haven't kept up the paperwork (and it has no SORN - shame on me!) so I'm not sure of its current 'legal status'.

If anyone's interested, and has a trailer, please contact me directly by email (phd@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk). Like I said, I'd like it to go to a good home to make up for the years of neglect it's had, if there's any chance of its being restorable.

Cheers,

Paul
