EDIT: To save everyone from having to go through every page, I decided to compile a list of all the current mods and photos, followed by the original photos that were posted when I first started this thread.
This is my 1993 Corolla SE Limited (Japanese import). It's the second model from the top in this particular generation (the first being the Corolla GT with the 4A-GE 20v) and has all of the features you would expect out of Japan.
It was completely standard when I bought it, but I've done a number of mods to it over the 2-years of ownership so far. My main goal is to do a 4A-GE 20v Blacktop swap, but that will more than likely be a finishing touch on the car.
New wheels now fitted. Top 3 photos are the latest.

* Replaced engine with 60,000km 5A-FE 16v DOHC.

Original post back in 2009:
I decided to go and take some photos of my car today since it was nice and sunny, these were taken about 2-hours ago. It was a spur of the moment type of decision so the car was unwashed, hopefully it doesn't look dirty in the photos. The hardest part was dealing with the overexposure from the sun on the white paint, but I got there in the end. All of the shots have been resized to cut down on loading times.
Comments
very welcome.

. Any lower and my aftermarket front pipe for my exhaust would literally be scraping along the ground. I'm not a fan of going too low, particularly because I carry passengers in the back quite often. Have a look through my old photos to see how high it was before I lowered it, it was like a bloody monster truck! Lol.
