Corolla!

Thinking back, some of the best times of my life were at Hawaii Raceway Park... I had a Corolla GT-S coupe in '04, until I stuffed my door into Justin's bumper and fender at 'off camber' turn. My right A-pillar was busted, and at the top of the door was a two-inch gap that wouldn't close. I'd tape over it if it rained.. When my S13 was complete, I didn't have room for both cars, and had to sell the GT-S. I've missed it ever since..

Jump to 2008, Justin's friend Brandon was parting ways with one of his cars, a dark blue GT-S hatchback. I couldn't pass it up. The body is stock, with the usual set of rust holes, though it runs good. Gonna add suspension stuff, wheels, mess with the fenders and go through the running gear. Here are a couple of pics of the car in progress.. Widened steelies, suspension mocked up. Got the steelies powdercoated at Mekala Powdercoating in Campbell Industrial Park. I'm happy with the way they came out.

Apologies for the crappy cell phone cam images in the dark..
