New owner. 82 Corolla, from NorCal

Post by DangerTaco »

Just picked up this 82 Corolla SR5 that i plan on restoring back to "stock" or as close to it, and using as my new commuter car. Its got 220k on the chassis and 60k on the motor (3TC), its an A/T (im stuck in traffic for 3 hours every afternoon and cant be ****** with shifting). Best part is it runs smooth, shifts smooth, and doesnt leak a drop.

Its got a jacked up passenger side fender but the previous owner threw in a replacement, its rolling on the stock steelies, and has aftermarket headers/exhaust. Previous owner even threw in the stock headers but i need everything else to go on.
Planning on removing all the aftermarket stuff and returning all the stock parts (looking to buy the OEM parts btw) unless someone can suggest any other aftermarket companies i can buy headers from to keep it California Smog compliant.

Oh im in NorCal btw so shout out to any other locals
