    Rolling in a hand-me-down 98 Rolla that needed a lot of TLC. In the process of DIY maintenance decided to make it a project car. Hoping to get some ideas and maybe share some of my mistakes so others won't need to suffer.

    While I was restoring the baby, I realized I was upgrading most of the suspension and it was fast becoming a sleeper. Right now I'm working on stitching together customized leather interior with the family sew machine. A friend joked I should do a Domo theme, since I have the fuzzy dice, I might take her up on that joke. After that I was planning on upgrading the intake and exhaust (so if anyone has a TRD muffler for E110 they want to part with *hint, hint*). But given the engine is still running strong at 140,000 miles, I'm not sure it's time yet to do a rebuild and get it ready for force induction. Unless the engine blows up on me before I get to the rebuild...:oops:...but it's a corolla so it's probably going to out live roaches after a nuclear blast.

    Once I start working on the intake, that's the point I'll have to start getting out of the stock exterior. Functional hood scoops and ground effects to give it a more aggressive stance....
