Sup old school Toy freaks,
I just recently purchased a very well cared for 79' Corolla with a 2TC. It has 129K from the orig owner. The yellow wasn't my first choice color but the car was in such good original condition, I couldn't pass it up. I buffed the paint out real nice, cleaned up the orig steel wheels and have begun detailing the exterior, stripping the sun damaged tan interior out and basic filter changes/maintenance to keep it running until the real work begins.
Plans are to lower it and the T40 tranny will definitely be swapped for a 5 speed. I've owned an 81' Celica ST, and an 85' Cressida so it's nice to get back to an old school Toyota after a couple of turbo DSMs and Hondas. Link is to hi res pics of project.

Stay tuned,
