Late 2009 i purchased this 1973 KE20 Corolla for $400 as running project thru a friend.
It was about as rough as this image quality in 2009, The car had had some questionable body repairs through out the 70's / 80's including in parts having 10mm more than required bodyfiller in one of the rear quarters giving it a sort of overfender look. A friend removed all the filler and panel beat it back to normal then i i started on the bodywork myself.
Painted the car in my parents unfinished garage with dirt floor as the concrete hadnt been poored yet, turned out ok considering.
Wet sanded and polished the entire car
I'll post the rest later as i was having issues with uploading the whole build.
Paint work was starting to look beat at this point so started prepping the body again then got lazy and it sat in the garage almost 3 years half prepped. Finally got some motivation mid this year to finish it off .
As usual high quality spray booth.
Added factory fender mirrors and and ordered a pair of 7j's to match the rear wheels as i was never much of a fan of the staggered sizing.
And that was how it was going to stay a weekend cruiser, i drove it around for a couple months until a shitty driver fucked up at a give way and fucked my shit up so now we wait for insurance to do their thing so i can get fixed back up again.
