Thats right ladies and gentlemen. After 4 long years of research and lurking, I FINALLY bought my donor car this morning! Woohoo! So what car, you ask? Its a 1980 Toyota Corolla SR-5. Dats right, with the 1.8 hemi and everything! Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!! Sorry, anyway, we are going to start work on it relatively soon, so Ill probably be making a blog or something about it. Ill make sure to post the info here. Here is a pic of a Corolla like mine. Mine is some kind of weird burnt orange color that will definately be changed before I hit the track. This car should make about 130hp in IT trim. Dont let the spec sheet fool you. Its bogged down by a ton of smog gear, a highly restrictive exhaust, and a HORRIBLE carb.

Now, if only I can figure out a good name for the racing team....
