Dammerung Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Found this last week in my aunt’s old garage. She’s sadly passed on and the family is cleaning out her old hoarder house. Nobody wants it because they think it’s junk, so it might be mine to bring back to life. This will be my next project after I finish getting my Comanche on the road. Apparently this was also the first year of the 4th generation of Corollas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVPete Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 That looks in pretty good shape. How is the interior? New fuel, carb cleaner, new oil, and battery.....might stand a good chance of firing up. It is a Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 1000% of every fiber of my being is begging you to hit that thing with a garden hose and wash all that mung off of it Seeing it out in the open like that, it looks to be in quite fine shape.

mnkyboy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looks pretty straight, just a good washing will make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New fuel, carb cleaner, new oil, and battery.....might stand a good chance of firing up. It is a Toyota. We pulled my truck up to it and jumped it. It cranked but didn’t start. We poured fuel in the tank and some in the Carb and it ran. Been sitting for 25 years and she ran like a dream, and subsequently died lol.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the tires hold air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pulled the spare home with us to check it and we’ll probably put it on when we go back.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Psssh, a good wash inside/out, an oil change and some fresh gas and boom, you got yourself a daily that will go 300k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 You might spend a little time to clean it up and see what you've got before scrapping it, $750 isn't very much money for a project car as long as it's in decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEmptyEveryPocket Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Don't scrap it! I am sure someone would love to buy that car. Every time I see a car getting crushed I hurt a little more inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
