Thank you for taking the time to read the entire ad, if the ad is still up then we still have the car. The car for sale is the 1st picture, the other pictures in the ad are the same year make and model car just customized a bit.

This is a car I bought for my son and I to fix up....this would be our third we have done but our first custom wagon. We have been working on it a bit and will continue to work on it, the price will adjust as we do more to it. So if you are interested in buying it as it sits today it is $1400. The other two cars got finished before they were sold, this one may or may not but we put them online as we go as different people have different tastes and may not like the changes we make but want to purchase the car as a platform for their own tastes.

It's a 78 Corolla wagon deluxe has a great running stock famous 2TC 1.6L race engine capable of up to 400hp engine and a 3 speed automatic A40 03-55 Aisin/Borg Warner tranny. The car was being used as a daily driver by the person we bought it from.

I have driven it about 50 miles since we got it, it is a very nimble and fun car to drive it is very light (about 2000 lbs) I have taken it on the highway and up to 65mph and it cuts through the air great, in the last week my son and I have put a brand new water pump and waterpump/alternator belt, new valve cover gasket, platinum plugs, new complete distributor, a cap and a rotor a new coil and plug wires and changed the engine oil and filter.

In the next two weeks we plan to change the rear diff fluid, service the tranny (reverse and 3rd gear are a  little weak), buy a new battery, buff out the other body pieces (only the driver door and passenger fender have been buffed out so far the entire paint job will polish up with another 3 to 4 hours of elbow grease) order new tires and rims, tint the windows and get the air conditioning working (the ac is all there but there is no belt on the compressor so we will see what it's going to take these old systems are easy).

After that we will be thinking about paint ideas or may just keep the factory paint and putting a header manifold on it with a good muffler and a full new exhaust (current exhaust is just fine) and then maybe suspension modifications.

All the accessories lights wipers heater blinkers etc etc work now except the a/c. The car has a clean clear OK title and current tag to Sept 2013, it is not all rusted out nor has it ever been wrecked all the glass is good all the gauges work and the car has just over 100k miles we are the 4th owner. The first owner had it for its first 85k miles the second bought it and kept it for a few months and sold it to his friend the third owner and he brought it up to its current mileage which is about 112k. The car has all 4 center caps (the back one is off in this picture) and a full size spare with the same rim.
