The Thrill of the Hunt: Uncovering a Rare Toyota Corolla

For our team, nothing gets us more excited than the thrill of the hunt for rare and unique vehicles. Our latest find is a real showstopper - a 1980s-era Toyota Corolla that's been lovingly restored to its former glory. The car's previous owner, a seasoned enthusiast, had spent years searching for the perfect project car, and when he finally found this beauty, he knew it was meant to be.

As we examine the car more closely, it becomes clear that its previous owner was a true aficionado of the automotive world. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the vehicle, from the sleek body kit to the carefully curated interior. It's clear that this car has been lovingly restored to showcase its original charm and character.

But what really sets this Corolla apart is its turbocharged engine. A major upgrade for a car of its era, this turbo will undoubtedly give our team's ride a serious boost in performance. We can't wait to put it through its paces and see just how fast it can go.

The story behind this car is just as fascinating as the vehicle itself. According to our previous owner, he found this beauty on Facebook Marketplace for a mere $2,500. But when we saw the photos, we knew that it was worth every penny - possibly even more. With some TLC and restoration, we're confident that this Corolla will be worth at least twice its original purchase price.

As we take a closer look at the car's specs, it becomes clear just how much work has gone into restoring this vehicle to its former glory. The interior is adorned with all the trimmings, from the leather seats to the polished aluminum pedals. It's clear that our previous owner was determined to bring out the best in this car.

But what really gets us excited about this project is the possibility of reviving a classic. We're not just talking about any old Corolla - we're talking about a car that's been brought back from the dead and will be taking part in one of our upcoming show events. That's right, folks - get ready for an epic battle of style and speed as we take on some of the best ride-sharing cars out there.

We've already started brainstorming ways to make this Corolla truly stand out from the crowd. We're talking about everything from bold body kits to eye-catching paint jobs. The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to see just how creative our team will be in bringing this car back to life.

As we wrap up our initial assessment of this incredible ride, it's clear that we've got ourselves a real winner on our hands. With its turbocharged engine, sleek body kit, and lovingly restored interior, this Corolla is ready to take on the world - or at least, our next show event. Stay tuned for more updates as we work tirelessly to bring this beauty back from the brink of obscurity.

Next up: Our Sexpect Car Show Event

It's time to start planning our latest event, and what better way to do it than with a special appearance by our beloved Corolla? We're calling it the "Sexpect Car Show," and we can't wait to see just how many other unique ride-sharing cars make an appearance. But that's not all - we'll also be featuring some of the most exclusive, one-of-a-kind vehicles out there.

We've already started making arrangements for our event, including booking a venue and gathering a team of experts who will help us bring these cars to life. It's going to be a real spectacle, folks, with cars only (no trucks or SUVs, please!) and our team on hand to guide you through the process.

And as if that wasn't enough, we'll also be featuring some of our favorite cars from past events - including, but not limited to, Twisted and Too Sexy. These are true legends of the ride-sharing world, and it's only fitting that they make an appearance at our latest show event.

But here's the thing: this isn't just going to be a one-time event. We're planning on making it a regular occurrence, with new cars and new challenges for our team to tackle each and every time. It's going to be a wild ride, folks, so buckle up and get ready to join us.

And now, a Special Message from Our Previous Owner

We were thrilled to hear from one of our readers who wanted to know more about the story behind this incredible Corolla. According to our previous owner, he found the car on Facebook Marketplace for a mere $2,500. But as he delved deeper into the world of ride-sharing cars, he realized that there was so much more to this vehicle than met the eye.

As it turns out, the previous owner had a vision - to restore this Corolla to its former glory and showcase its unique charm and character. And with the help of some skilled enthusiasts (ahem, our team!), he's managed to bring this beauty back from the brink of obscurity.

But what really gets us excited about this project is the possibility of reviving a classic. We're not just talking about any old Corolla - we're talking about a car that's been brought back from the dead and will be taking part in one of our upcoming show events. That's right, folks - get ready for an epic battle of style and speed as we take on some of the best ride-sharing cars out there.

As we wrap up this initial assessment of our incredible Corolla, it's clear that we've got ourselves a real winner on our hands. With its turbocharged engine, sleek body kit, and lovingly restored interior, this car is ready to take on the world - or at least, our next show event.

But it's not just about the car itself - it's about the team behind it. We're a group of passionate enthusiasts who are dedicated to bringing the best ride-sharing cars out there into the spotlight. And with this Corolla leading the way, we can't wait to see what the future holds.

afterwards they've written nuts and there and nuts and on the top just in case anyway i'm really excited to go through that box and who knows what we're gonna find in there there's no back seat i don't know where the back seats are um also they're meant to have back seats i think so yeah it's got holes for seat belts but i think this is being converted to like a two-door or something um there'll be a way to pop the two-door a two-seat yeah yeah converted to two seats yeah quite right there's a random switch there missile switched oh i'm getting in mountain ah yes this is i mean we love these cars let's not pretend we don't i mean we bought it for a reason how much was it like 500 bucks or something is it registered no sounds like 300 bucks no um the steering wheel less than 300 dollars no the steering wheel was um how much was it it came with the steering wheel it's got this it came with this steering wheel how much was it made with a dash pod um just don't worry about that for now that doesn't matter wait on isn't that from minimax five oh i don't know who knows aren't they the things from an old mx-5 someone out there manufacturer someone will tell you someone's gonna know um what's the dashes for the dash is for the instrument cluster's full old school too look at it hey dude what's that that's a center speaker man probably a dvd player into something you like watch movies in here with your mates dude or one of them oh look there's the old color oh yeah yeah yeah see if we can get a look at that oh what's that that's an is that the alarm that's one of those crazy old remotes it's a weird little thing we've just got some tape got some oh there's this it's just junk really in here and it's junk like a band-aid martin oh good lovely all right good what's this going down to do you reckon what's that powering like neons yeah come have a look dude come have a look have a look i have something to show you that it looks like you're in the pant region okay this door will amputate each person that tries to get out by the way it doesn't stay up huh that's all right that's right that's that's easy fixed okay that's good i love the it's like a bit 60s actually that weird thing dude have a look under the have a look under the side skirt look under the sides here man yeah man i'm going to get this light so you can see properly all right oh is that a big neon strip i think so then they've just it's just tech screwed and some slurs underneath the car yeah does it work i don't know it doesn't have a battery no battery apparently it starts and drives okay dude it's got a big exhaust like a big stainless exhaust but that doesn't look like a performance cat it looks like they've just chopped a normal cat onto that pipe see what i'm talking about oh yeah now what kind of wheels are on it um round ones and the tires it's got some city tour this the treadwear is 560. sounds like a quality tire doesn't it that's 560 i think that's double like a good michelin tyre it's pretty funny um did it come with keys it's got a key where's the key in the in the um in the thingy that you start the car with it's very oh it's very special martin it's awesome so futuristic so the owner reckons that it worked yeah except it's got no battery runs and drives well but yeah no battery okay and i don't i don't think i have an old battery here to try it with maybe you can get it going on the jumper pack all right this is going in the boot oh that's a heavy does it work i don't think so oh that's one of those um it's like a soft soft little the boot opens there but there should be i think it's like that opens it's got two bits that open yeah there we go oh it's heavy look how much glass there is in that oh i see no this is the boot could you hold that oh no can you hold that with one arm no i'll put a stick hold that i'll get it oh yeah yeah let's get a broom or something or a mop i'm pretty excited to see what's in the boot martin yes how's it how's that going for you all right what's in here oh oh so they're just they're just disconnected this is going to hurt me when it falls on me isn't it yeah now what's with all that this do i can drop sheets man you know what you need them for the ladies parties okay all right so i reckon there you was a hectic stereo in here mate yep i think that's what's actually going on you reckon someone's like sold it or something i reckon yeah i mean i don't know who wants a hectic stereo but everything in here points towards there used to be something else in here that's no longer in here you know what i mean yeah um rcas and stuff there's a sock a gooey gooey sock there you go um martin i i really really like it it's really weird isn't it weird so these are this is a japanese import this is like full jdm legit isn't it yeah these were a thing man i remember when when when i was like just out of high school if you had one of these it was like such a weird unique crazy spaceship of a thing well you know people that had them no i knew of people that hadn't like they were famous in the neighborhood man like you used to go up to like birdwood westfields and there'd be some dudes doing laps in these and you'd be like whoa i can't believe this guy's got the craziest car ever so their front-wheel drive naturally aspirated gull wing door late 80s toyota nearly early 90s i think is it i mean that looks 90s don't you think i mean it does but i just want to see it i want to see it in all its i want to see it flexing i mean like that that looks bold that's a silica bonnet isn't it is that off some like gt4 or something i reckon that is that's like one of those rally seleka bonnets surely that's not a thing that you can buy like that surely that's a custom thing right i reckon there's a bit of custom going on there man that body kit look at it like what's that actually doing that body kit would have been fully custom made i reckon like our show car like what are the chances that people were you know producing them in mass i can't i can't unless it's a japanese one but it's fiberglass by the looks of it and it's smashing i mean over over here it's all smashed i reckon it was just too low on that side yeah um oh that's an interesting strategy as well they've got a you know one of these little plugs that you put in bricks and just put that in the front to hold their number plate on look at the front mount dude is it being painted black or something at some stage and see like i gather this i don't know if you can see under there i gather that's meant to be holding on some body kit that says not there oh that's what the front down is they've painted it black and then that's coming off see wow but why is the front mount full of grass dude actually full of grass i reckon this has been living in long grass and that's why it's rusted i reckon the grass has been up to the wheel arches yeah or they've just i mean it's look at all the um the cobwebs around here like yeah maybe it's just been in storage for a long time um and you reckon it was 500 bucks no it was it wasn't 500 bucks but you know what's crazy about it as well the wheels are on it they're round and the probably like a corolla stud pattern i think this is loosely based on some kind of corolla slash camry okay you know like the actual guts of it because toyota wouldn't be that creative that they'd make a completely unique thing but the body is wild man and there's only 500 bucks it's amazing that those doors stay up by themselves too don't you reckon yeah i mean it's missing that belt strapping like they look like they're off another toyota they look like newer than what the car would suggest don't you think so well i mean are we going to try and then like is this a catch-and-release we're going to try and get the car looking perfect and send it back out into the world it's a lot of looking perfect what are you looking perfect oh it already looks perfect i don't know what to say look at it um i wonder what the interior is from can you pop the bonnet yep i think it's in the normal spot and look it's got a flat steering wheel and that's kind of special because people that it's racy martin it might have been a track car i highly doubt that mate um but it does kind of look a bit sporty the center speaker is an interesting concept yeah in a car five one surround sound yeah maybe they had a bit of a five one thing going on i reckon we can oh that's the button there for the uh neons where's the negative strap how did this even how does this even start i like the little gauge pods up here as well it's got aircon it's got aircon which is pretty fancy it's got air conditioning yeah wow it's fancy and i'm really really keen to look inside um that what the box of oh yeah but we'll get to that once we get it started yep which is could be oh dude this oh which is going to be imminent water coming out of all the wiring there's what coming out of the wire there's water coming out of the wiring there's a lot of stuff missing okay good um there's a positive strap there yep so that's easy good but i don't i don't know there's no there's no negative strap except for this how much was it um it was you know it was i just paid i paid with um i paid cash and um yeah did you pay too much i paid cash for it this is worth like a third of what twisted is worth right so i pay cash but anyway it doesn't it doesn't matter 800 i wonder if your alarm's gonna go off was it more than eight hundred dollars what if the alarm's gonna go off how much was it damn it um i'm just gonna see if we can crank it do you have the key where'd you put the key oh yeah dude it sounds actually not broken like it sounds a bit broken and stumbly and but that motor doesn't sound like it's got any internal damage that i can hear wow oh it stinks bad i don't think that's been run for a while definitely is smells like um electrical fires coming out of it it smells like electrical fires how is it bonging when there's no power going or anything oh did you hear that it sounds like a turbo like winding this sounds like it dying um there's an ants nest in it okay um rusted fenders uh missing straps um i don't know if it like well look at all the smoke um how much was it man just tell us because it's getting annoying but how much was it um i paid cash and i i went there and we picked it up and um was it more than a thousand dollars just let's play yes or no it was more than a thousand bucks come on okay was it more than five thousand dollars no of course not was it more than i never buy three thousand um no it wasn't more than three thousand dollars more than two thousand dollars it came with a spare clutch no one cares it doesn't have a point no one cares about how much it costs that is the point it's not because point at all every dollar they made for every dollar they made over 500 dollars was a total raw these are mad for blocking out wait a second how does the oh that's the only bit of window you get yeah like once it's down yeah that's it if you want to put your head out the window you've just got to put it out that little bit there yeah i probably shouldn't have started it because now like choking on the grot but um yeah man i'm i think it has heaps of potential i think it looks amazing i think it's built on toyota quality like mr2 and it will be as good condition as mr2 for sure someone's put a fuel filter in it or at least they put a new one sitting here which means they intended to oh so this is like basically an mr2 but with goldwing doors and front-wheel drive right so better yeah man better in every way just a fairly amazing piece of machinery really and i'm very excited about what you're going to be able to do with it being that it's your new car yeah man well well what i got it for you i do because i want you to i want you to like i know that you love going stuff um you're a big fan of it and you're a big fan of 90 stuff you've had your 180s and you've had your fun with all that stuff and now you want something that's actually like full legit jdm 90s style right something you could really sink your teeth into right use all the skills you've acquired over the years you know apply it all to this car make it awesome yeah you know make it fast clean it up pain like you could do so much cool stuff with it man stop talking can we look inside this box here please no i don't think we should i don't think we ever should until the day we get rid of this car then we should open it really yeah i mean i'll look maybe i should look at it no just open it up we all want to have a look now because they just give us a look man i'm i'm pumped to see what's in there because it might not even be car parts you know what i mean oh

there man air filter fuel filter oh what's this oh looks full jdm dude whatever that is oh that's um i don't know what that is that's for the inside of the car it's like for your dash i don't that's a pod filter ending thing oh there's a battery terminal oh it's a negative no it's not negative strap for the wire there's a negative battery terminal in there there's a battery tied oh there's the oh yeah good that's that's useful excellent man battery tie down dude we are on to a winner i mean you're onto a winner with your new car dude i actually i reckon you did all right you reckon well the only gauge of comparison that i have is twisted and too sexy yeah and they were both how much were they again that's kind of a different thing isn't it is it a different thing um from what i remember wasn't twisted like two thousand dollars two thousand seven hundred dollars yeah something so about that so i've got an evo engine you've just got to have a look at that and go how does that compare to twisted kind of similar yeah look at the door strut thing dude down there look at that it works it holds the door up that's so fat well martin thank you very much i mean i'm not thanking you

stage i think it been painted like candy red but then someone repainted it candy green the interior is completely customized with paint um and speaker pods and all that other important stuff that was essential there's a box in there that says oh toyota anson sarah 1991 nuts and really yeah that's the box of bolts and the doors collapsing we'll fix that don't worry nuts and um there's a spare clutch in there i don't know why okay um i wonder if we'll be able to get into the boot and how you do that i don't know i mean look it's have you looked in this nuts and i haven't looked in anything man you owned it okay let's look in that afterwards they've written nuts and there and nuts and on the top just in case anyway i'm really excited to go through that box and who knows what we're gonna find in there there's no back seat i don't know where the back seats are um also they're meant to have back seats i think so yeah it's got holes for seat belts but i think this is being converted to like a two-door or something um there'll be a way to pop the two-door a two-seat yeah yeah converted to two seats yeah quite right there's a random switch there missile switched oh i'm getting in mountain ah yes this is i mean we love these cars let's not pretend we don't i mean we bought it for a reason how much was it like 500 bucks or something is it registered no sounds like 300 bucks no um the steering wheel less than 300 dollars no the steering wheel was um how much was it it came with the steering wheel it's got this it came with this steering wheel how much was it made with a dash pod um just don't worry about that for now that doesn't matter wait on isn't that from minimax five oh i don't know who knows aren't they the things from an old mx-5 someone out there manufacturer someone will tell you someone's gonna know um what's the dashes for the dash is for the instrument cluster's full old school too look at it hey dude what's that that's a center speaker man probably a dvd player into something you like watch movies in here with your mates dude or one of them oh look there's the old color oh yeah yeah yeah see if we can get a look at that oh what's that that's an is that the alarm that's one of those crazy old remotes it's a weird little thing we've just got some tape got some oh there's this it's just junk really in here and it's junk like a band-aid martin oh good lovely all right good what's this going down to do you reckon what's that powering like neons yeah come have a look dude come have a look have a look i have something to show you that it looks like you're in the pant region okay this door will amputate each person that tries to get out by the way it doesn't stay up huh that's all right that's right that's that's easy fixed okay that's good i love the it's like a bit 60s actually that weird thing dude have a look under the have a look under the side skirt look under the sides here man yeah man i'm going to get this light so you can see properly all right oh is that a big neon strip i think so then they've just it's just tech screwed and some slurs underneath the car yeah does it work i don't know it doesn't have a battery no battery apparently it starts and drives okay dude it's got a big exhaust like a big stainless exhaust but that doesn't look like a performance cat it looks like they've just chopped a normal cat onto that pipe see what i'm talking about oh yeah now what kind of wheels are on it um round ones and the tires it's got some city tour this the treadwear is 560. sounds like a quality tire doesn't it that's 560 i think that's double like a good michelin tyre it's pretty funny um did it come with keys it's got a key where's the key in the in the um in the thingy that you start the car with it's very oh it's very special martin it's awesome so futuristic so the owner reckons that it worked yeah except it's got no battery runs and drives well but yeah no battery okay and i don't i don't think i have an old battery here to try it with maybe you can get it going on the jumper pack all right this is going in the boot oh that's a heavy does it work i don't think so oh that's one of those um it's like a soft soft little the boot opens there but there should be i think it's like that opens it's got two bits that open yeah there we go oh it's heavy look how much glass there is in that oh i see no this is the boot could you hold that oh no can you hold that with one arm no i'll put a stick hold that i'll get it oh yeah yeah let's get a broom or something or a mop i'm pretty excited to see what's in the boot martin yes how's it how's that going for you all right what's in here oh oh so they're just they're just disconnected this is going to hurt me when it falls on me isn't it yeah now what's with all that this do i can drop sheets man you know what you need them for the ladies parties okay all right so i reckon there you was a hectic stereo in here mate yep i think that's what's actually going on you reckon someone's like sold it or something i reckon yeah i mean i don't know who wants a hectic stereo but everything in here points towards there used to be something else in here that's no longer in here you know what i mean yeah um rcas and stuff there's a sock a gooey gooey sock there you go um martin i i really really like it it's really weird isn't it weird so these are this is a japanese import this is like full jdm legit isn't it yeah these were a thing man i remember when when when i was like just out of high school if you had one of these it was like such a weird unique crazy spaceship of a thing well you know people that had them no i knew of people that hadn't like they were famous in the neighborhood man like you used to go up to like birdwood westfields and there'd be some dudes doing laps in these and you'd be like whoa i can't believe this guy's got the craziest car ever so their front-wheel drive naturally aspirated gull wing door late 80s toyota nearly early 90s i think is it i mean that looks 90s don't you think i mean it does but i just want to see it i want to see it in all its i want to see it flexing i mean like that that looks bold that's a silica bonnet isn't it is that off some like gt4 or something i reckon that is that's like one of those rally seleka bonnets surely that's not a thing that you can buy like that surely that's a custom thing right i reckon there's a bit of custom going on there man that body kit look at it like what's that actually doing that body kit would have been fully custom made i reckon like our show car like what are the chances that people were you know producing them in mass i can't i can't unless it's a japanese one but it's fiberglass by the looks of it and it's smashing i mean over over here it's all smashed i reckon it was just too low on that side yeah um oh that's an interesting strategy as well they've got a you know one of these little plugs that you put in bricks and just put that in the front to hold their number plate on look at the front mount dude is it being painted black or something at some stage and see like i gather this i don't know if you can see under there i gather that's meant to be holding on some body kit that says not there oh that's what the front down is they've painted it black and then that's coming off see wow but why is the front mount full of grass dude actually full of grass i reckon this has been living in long grass and that's why it's rusted i reckon the grass has been up to the wheel arches yeah or they've just i mean it's look at all the um the cobwebs around here like yeah maybe it's just been in storage for a long time um and you reckon it was 500 bucks no it was it wasn't 500 bucks but you know what's crazy about it as well the wheels are on it they're round and the probably like a corolla stud pattern i think this is loosely based on some kind of corolla slash camry okay you know like the actual guts of it because toyota wouldn't be that creative that they'd make a completely unique thing but the body is wild man and there's only 500 bucks it's amazing that those doors stay up by themselves too don't you reckon yeah i mean it's missing that belt strapping like they look like they're off another toyota they look like newer than what the car would suggest don't you think so well i mean are we going to try and then like is this a catch-and-release we're going to try and get the car looking perfect and send it back out into the world it's a lot of looking perfect what are you looking perfect oh it already looks perfect i don't know what to say look at it um i wonder what the interior is from can you pop the bonnet yep i think it's in the normal spot and look it's got a flat steering wheel and that's kind of special because people that it's racy martin it might have been a track car i highly doubt that mate um but it does kind of look a bit sporty the center speaker is an interesting concept yeah in a car five one surround sound yeah maybe they had a bit of a five one thing going on i reckon we can oh that's the button there for the uh neons where's the negative strap how did this even how does this even start i like the little gauge pods up here as well it's got aircon it's got aircon which is pretty fancy it's got air conditioning yeah wow it's fancy and i'm really really keen to look inside um that what the box of oh yeah but we'll get to that once we get it started yep which is could be oh dude this oh which is going to be imminent water coming out of all the wiring there's what coming out of the wire there's water coming out of the wiring there's a lot of stuff missing okay good um there's a positive strap there yep so that's easy good but i don't i don't know there's no there's no negative strap except for this how much was it um it was you know it was i just paid i paid with um i paid cash and um yeah did you pay too much i paid cash for it this is worth like a third of what twisted is worth right so i pay cash but anyway it doesn't it doesn't matter 800 i wonder if your alarm's gonna go off was it more than eight hundred dollars what if the alarm's gonna go off how much was it damn it um i'm just gonna see if we can crank it do you have the key where'd you put the key oh yeah dude it sounds actually not broken like it sounds a bit broken and stumbly and but that motor doesn't sound like it's got any internal damage that i can hear wow oh it stinks bad i don't think that's been run for a while definitely is smells like um electrical fires coming out of it it smells like electrical fires how is it bonging when there's no power going or anything oh did you hear that it sounds like a turbo like winding this sounds like it dying um there's an ants nest in it okay um rusted fenders uh missing straps um i don't know if it like well look at all the smoke um how much was it man just tell us because it's getting annoying but how much was it um i paid cash and i i went there and we picked it up and um was it more than a thousand dollars just let's play yes or no it was more than a thousand bucks come on okay was it more than five thousand dollars no of course not was it more than i never buy three thousand um no it wasn't more than three thousand dollars more than two thousand dollars it came with a spare clutch no one cares it doesn't have a point no one cares about how much it costs that is the point it's not because point at all every dollar they made for every dollar they made over 500 dollars was a total raw these are mad for blocking out wait a second how does the oh that's the only bit of window you get yeah like once it's down yeah that's it if you want to put your head out the window you've just got to put it out that little bit there yeah i probably shouldn't have started it because now like choking on the grot but um yeah man i'm i think it has heaps of potential i think it looks amazing i think it's built on toyota quality like mr2 and it will be as good condition as mr2 for sure someone's put a fuel filter in it or at least they put a new one sitting here which means they intended to oh so this is like basically an mr2 but with goldwing doors and front-wheel drive right so better yeah man better in every way just a fairly amazing piece of machinery really and i'm very excited about what you're going to be able to do with it being that it's your new car yeah man well well what i got it for you i do because i want you to i want you to like i know that you love going stuff um you're a big fan of it and you're a big fan of 90 stuff you've had your 180s and you've had your fun with all that stuff and now you want something that's actually like full legit jdm 90s style right something you could really sink your teeth into right use all the skills you've acquired over the years you know apply it all to this car make it awesome yeah you know make it fast clean it up pain like you could do so much cool stuff with it man stop talking can we look inside this box here please no i don't think we should i don't think we ever should until the day we get rid of this car then we should open it really yeah i mean i'll look maybe i should look at it no just open it up we all want to have a look now because they just give us a look man i'm i'm pumped to see what's in there because it might not even be car parts you know what i mean oh the excitement is so helpful and sincere nuts and can't oh give us a look no wait what was it dude oh does it smell inside there really weird here's a look oh you got all sorts of awesome stuff in there man air filter fuel filter oh what's this oh looks full jdm dude whatever that is oh that's um i don't know what that is that's for the inside of the car it's like for your dash i don't that's a pod filter ending thing oh there's a battery terminal oh it's a negative no it's not negative strap for the wire there's a negative battery terminal in there there's a battery tied oh there's the oh yeah good that's that's useful excellent man battery tie down dude we are on to a winner i mean you're onto a winner with your new car dude i actually i reckon you did all right you reckon well the only gauge of comparison that i have is twisted and too sexy yeah and they were both how much were they again that's kind of a different thing isn't it is it a different thing um from what i remember wasn't twisted like two thousand dollars two thousand seven hundred dollars yeah something so about that so i've got an evo engine you've just got to have a look at that and go how does that compare to twisted kind of similar yeah look at the door strut thing dude down there look at that it works it holds the door up that's so fat well martin thank you very much i mean i'm not thanking you because i'm not touching it no i'll work on it with you no we'll get it fixed do you know what we need to do we just need to we just need a little bit it's your car i didn't bite for me i bought you a car um anyway martin well done you're going to enjoy working on that yes thank you very much yes let's just get started what are you going to do with it dude have you thought about what you're going to do with it yet yeah of course i'm going to race it against whatever i buy you love it amazing all right thanks everybody there it is thank you facebook marketplace and thank you tow trucks and thank you to whoever built that special special car and kept the australian economy going for a period of time in the early nineties late nineties early two wait on when was it when was it done it was in it brought it in the car's early 90s but when was it auto salon 99 dude it was the peak was it the ending the peak ending okay of all epsilon dude turbo start motor hell yeah that's so cool what are you going to do to it dude you we okay fine we are going to we are going to fix it we're gonna make it work man okay we're gonna make it work i mean i don't really i don't then you're gonna blue slip it register it and daily i like the interior as it is so i think that needs to needs to stay i even like the green i don't love the rust so maybe that needs a bit of luck bog um but this i'm excited about this makes it awesome because these stock were boring this is not boring this is factory turboed which means issues and things should be shaming you with boost can be turned up sorry got an exhaust got a front mount like there's some good stuff going on in here yes and this could be fast this could be a weapon this could be the fastest car we've ever had it's not going to be faster than twisted or too sexy right no probably not because that they're like 1.5 liter or one or they're tiny like not a big engine at all okay uh but but you never know man it's twitter and twitter have surprised us before with their prowess and too sexy and twisted are both still around this is true and this here makes it a trifecta really do you know what i mean yeah it does it really like we just need to get all three of them back on the street we could start auto salon again i wonder how many of these we need to get before we could do an auto salon does anyone else own this style of let's bring it out there i think we're already bringing it back with our videos but this could actually bring it back this could be the announcement video martin are we putting on an auto salon type event i think we should show cars only show cars only and you and i get to decide who comes and who doesn't oh and whether they get to bring their car or not and too sexy could go because it technically is a show car it's just been yeah and twisted yeah and this we could have at least four or five cars there i reckon it's amazing all right let's get to work on that i'm in would you guys come to our sex spec show car show i've got to find some wheels we got we got to put chrome wheels on it man oh we need to find our old civic wheels chromium civic video yes i do now i'm excited there's there's many possibilities dude it's being restored to it's not being restored to showcase pick nobody got time for that it's being restored to show style in

now 5200. when we're finished with it wow that's that's a big call we're going to dump that are we we're going to double our money people no because we're going to need to spend more than that to fix it we're going to double the original purchase price what a beast absolute beast all right man can you help me push it in so we can put more nuggets in here yep that's probably what the owner said to
