I figured HAN has been dead so I'd post my new turd. Sold the G35 a few months ago as it really didn't do much for me to be honest. Anyhow, made some cash and have been trying to find a clean ef hatch which I intend on putting a bit of time/money into. Been pimpin a 98 century and really putting heart into saving the g profit for an ef project (I'm horrible about saving money). So here enters the turd. 94 corolla that I've been using as a daily for around four months or so. Paid an outrageous price $100! Put a clutch in it and replaced clutch master and slave. A/C works but it is the base model with manual everything. Just thought I would show you guys this and if nothing else it'll be a new thread on HAN :hsdunno:




It's beat to shit but runs like a champ. Straight hooptie.

209k on the car. It has been driven that's for sure. It was the daughter's car of the guy I got it from so it has dents here and there but I have around 300 in it. I've put somewhere around 2500 miles in it and haven't had a problem. Can't really bitch.

Can't beat that price man.
What's the EF plans? Glad to know I'm not the ONLY one who still plays with Honda's on this site.

Well the first order of business is to find a suitable chassis. Everyone I have looked at is just beat to death. Plans will be simple at first i.e. swap and basic restoration of body and interior. Don't know past that

Nice. Sounds like a good time. Good luck finding a good shell. They are out there, just getting harder to find in decent shape.

Can't beat a car that runs for $100 + cost of a clutch. Nice pickup for a beater.
