This is the 3sgte corolla I bought off John-905 on this site. I have wanted the car for about 6 years or so never thinking he would sell it. I had started doing a build aiming in the 3sgte direction and had got as far as stripping out the shell and fitting a roll cage then john told me he was wanting to sell his car, let's just say my project came to a stop and then this arrived lol.
This is what the car looked like when it arrived and waiting for it to come felt like the longest day of my life. I don't intend to do many big or major changes to the car at the minute but maybe if the right things pop up that maybe different later down the line.
Here's some pictures of it now.

Yeah really happy with the car. Chris, the car needs cv joint, turbo seals and maybe the head gasket doing. These issues will all be done in good time though.
Will have updates with pictures soon guys.

Sounds good to me Ishaq, hope I can get the funds together in time to fix/tax/insure the car.
Thanks John really appreciate the help you have given me and I'm pretty sure ill speak to you about my uncertainties again lol.
Here's some minor changes I have made up to now, hope you all like them. I have removed the tow sticker, hidden the tow strap but it is still fitted, fixed the splitter and fitted the BZ touring black background headlights.

Time for a new sig already! Definitely looks better without the tow hook looking super obvious, like asking for a tow lol.

Just pulled my MOMO wheel out of the box and don't know whether to fit it or not. If I do does anyone know where I could find a TRD horn button that will be a perfect fit?
Do you guys think I should fit it?
Thanks.

Nice car, dude, and loving all the changes you've done to it too putting a trd badge on your momo wheel is a great idea!
