I'll start on the car tomorrow night removing all the running gear. I don't want to do the paint until very last as the car is sitting at my work and gets covered in sand, metal, overspray and whatever else comes out of our metalfab joint. It feels like sandpaper at the moment lol.
Any idea's on how to remove the rear window as I've never done one in a corolla before. I'm assuming just feet on the inside of the glass someone supporting outside and just push it out or does the seal need to come out first?
Yair feet on window and push. Try some lube on it too first and be carefull as they arnt the most solid of windows. If that fails, you can just cut the seal out but make sure you can get one from your local window dude first.
Cool build tho, my eyes are still seeing blue tho.

I know its a bit of blue but most guys with rolla's paint the engines red or black and I like blue so yeah. The outside is going to be a white XX with the only blue being the thin pinstripe between the black stripes.
I think I saw this car at a well known east side street spot tonight!
love this build dude. keep it up
You most likely did if my XR8 ute was in there as well.
Cheers man! Going to be doing some of the front end tonight so will have some progess pics up tonight.
So I was being lazy and haven't started pulling the front apart but will today cause I finished 1:30 and the rest of my bushes rocked up today and so did my Adjustable swaybars! 24mm front and 18mm rear.
Also bought a little present for my birthday.
I got pretty much all the bits just need to make a dump pipe and buy some GZE injectors and an adaptronic.

i really need to coem up and give a hand, when you doing something ot this next?
wanna see more!
Doing some work tonight got the front up off the ground at the moment sitting on stands and got the brakes off and front suspension out.
Going to pull more out today then this Saturday spend all day on it changing over all the bushes, fitting my swaybars, rebuilding the front calipers and putting in the new shocks and lowered springs.
Need to go find XT130 suspension and brakes. After talking to biggo I don't reckon AE86 brakes will stop it as he said it didn't stop his to well.
Probably will upload some pics tomorrow work on the turbo setup won't start till after its rego'd as its gotta go through vic roads.
At the rate I work I don't think It will be on the road till around 2 months. But I'm keen as just to get it finished as I've dicked around too much.
