hey guys just showing you what i have been up to in the last 2 weeks....as some of you know i had an accident on my way to work 4 weeks ago by a guy who lost control of his car and ran into mine resulting in total lost........well heres my second rolla a 93 ae100 SE fullyloaded and a few shots.

heres what ive done with it for the past week....INTERIOR.. strip out trimmings seats to be cleaned,carpet and roof cleaned,some interior trimmings painted and fresh wiring of sterio and speakers and amp trunk re-carpeted and new super white trunk bulb. EXTERIOR... change stock 13" rims for 4# 13" steelys from a good friend of mine brand new tires on the front and kept the fairly good ones at the back. ENGINE.... change windsheild wash storage bottle with the one from the wreck, change coolant overflow bottle and change to new battery. all fluids are good altho the engine isnt as mint as the one in the rolla i had before but am swapping that outta ther to put in the mint engine in this corolla.. nex week i should be installing new rodends and rackends and possibly changin the drum brakes to rear disk brakes.

and might i say it was a tiring but fullfilling week lol.

Nice to see you went with another Corolla.

Never seen that front bumper and lip before....

I like the grille. It makes the front look much more aggressive.

yea it does thanks man but this is the first time i seen a front bumper like that but the previous owner had it custom made to fit the fogs and the front lip are regularly seen on corollas down here the car has side skirts as well but because ther black its hard to see it in the pics.

Very cool bro. I've also never seen a front bumper like that before either. It's like a mixture of a European style bumper and an FXGT bumper. The lip is interesting too, would really stand out once painted. The tints look really dark! Looking forward to seeing the progress

thanks kiwi i love this front bumper,makes me smile everytime i look at it..as for the tint the previous owner was a sly guy goin around with other guys women so he tinted it at 3% twice

(freak) its so dark i cant even see the rear view mirror at nite

so am goin to change it to 20% at the end of the month for sure.

thanks miib14 am a fan of dark colours like the gunmetal gray i had on my first corolla so for this one am goin for the shiny black you find on the BMW's.. it should go well with the dark brown colour of the interior which i will take some shots when i hook up the speakers and indoor lights. also i have some trims painted in gloss black and it goes well with the dark brown interior
