TE72 20v Build

[TheArkitekt]

Thought I would check in with the new project, and the start of a build thread.

Car: 1981 Toyota Corolla
Engine: 4age 20v "blacktop"

Though now located in Ohio, this car started out life as a Cali resident, where it stayed for much of its life. The paint is original, and in good shape considering the age.


So far the car has Megan coils installed, and some Diamond wheels in 14x8+0. I also have a set of Longchamps for it, but no photos yet.


The 4age 20v swap is nearly complete, with just a small amount of wiring left to do, and installation of the radiator. Also trying to figure out what velocity stacks I want to run.




Look for more updates soon!

Not personally digging the color of the wheels, but other than that this thing is great. Very clean.

[renngolf]

Super clean and I'm liking that cream colour.

Looking forward to some updates.

I think some real flash wheels would finish the car much better, but still in for updates.

I really need to stop reading threads like this... I'm going to end up buying a vintage car and going into debt with a build.

Looks great so far. Exterior is super clean for its age. That creamy beige looks awesome. How's the interior?

[TheArkitekt]

Update!

Interior is gutted, as the car will be seeing a lot of track time. This weekend it was time to tackle the seat bracket and placement. Threw together some old seat brack parts to get this thing in the proper place. Its a fixed bracket, as the slider wouldnt let the seat get low enough for my taste.

This is my friend nick doing some of the bracket welding


The bracket


And the final product


It was originally a blue Signal Auto seat, but the blue looked terrible in the car, so I had a custom cover made.

I love your car. =] that seat is sweet too, I wish my te72 could be that clean.

[electricalbox]

So clean, I want to eat off your car!

[DragginWagonII]

Lol custom cover? I hope you didnt pay money for that. Car is awesome BTW. So jealous.

That thing looks cherry, I love it
