| Well lads! Thought I'd post up my other Corolla for ye to see! It's a '92 XE saloon, a Japanese import. Picked it up for very little, and after seeing how well these cars can look on here I couldn't resist it! Pretty low spec, nothing too fancy on it. Sitting in the shed for the last while awaiting attention  Plan is to tidy her up over time, not gonna do too much to her, I'm thinking Levin spoiler, remove the bumpstrips, Jap style plates, and the bumper from my wagon once I get an FX bumper for that. I just want to have it looking well as it's mechanically sound. When I got it:  Photo from last week:  | |

| Thanks lad! They're hard enough to come by now, and they go fairly quick when they do come up! I'll probably end up selling this on before too long, so keep an eye out  | |

Honestly I don't know, I'm hoping they're just glued on...won't know til I try! A little update on this, I started stripping the interior to clean the other day, it's pretty filthy so it'll get a thorough cleaning. Also found that the back right bracket for the drivers seat is missing...looks like it sheared off but I can't for the life of me imagine how! A new one will have to be welded in its place, I'll do that when the carpet is out. | |

| the side strips are glued on, but only problem is that theres a ridge there so when they do come off, your left with a ridge, that needs to be filled / welded over | |

| Thanks for that info, might leave them on so...don't fancy having to do much bodywork on it! Haha it's just gone, there's nothing to bolt the seat to at the pillar...see the pic! Can't get my head round it, how does something like that get broken off?!  | |
