Prophecy's AE92 Corolla Levin

[Jacob]

:hi5: for the mighty car mods sticker! I'm actually watching one of there videos right now.

This looks like its going to turn into quite the project! Cant wait to see when its finished. I know I had a wrench throwing good time doing my engine, hopefully yours goes better.

[Prophecy]

Yeah, I love mcm- while I havent done many (maybe ANY...) of the stuff they've shown, I love their work, and theyre so funny. Yeah, well, I dont want it to be a project :P its getting an engine transplant, but after that the 'project' phase is over and its back to normal ownership. Project cars never tend to leave that phase, they always feel unfinished- here I have a 90% finished standard car, all it needs is that engine and a bit of love here and there :) Cheers mate, its going well so far, but I dont think the engine will be in by my end of november deadline :(

Lol, you say that now, but it'll never be finished, there will always be something more you want to do to it or change. It'll only ever be 90% complete, I don't think anybody who modifies their car ever gets to 100% complete.

[Prophecy]

Oh no no, dont get me wrong, it'll never be FINISHED, but it wont be a project forever.

So do you reckon that's before or after TDU3 is made and released? :p

[Prophecy]

This guy, made of jokes :P

Going to be getting a set of stock 'ninja star' wheels for it in a few weeks, will be painting them so I made this comparison collage. The polished silver one is standard.

 

 

Not sure which one... I'm leaning towards grey, but I like the black and gold one too...

[Automotive Gaming]

I suggest white ones, rally style!

The red Toyota text is nice too

[killalldude]

I agree with grey. But needs to be a lighter shade.

[The Compensator]

White or silver.

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Hot pink

[Prophecy]

Yep, i'll just leave this here.

:modwork:

 

Next time clean up your own mess :cheeky:

[Prophecy]

Hahaaa, i'm not even sure what to say to this.

 

Oh good lordy. This is not helping me want to keep the bumper thats on it...

[Prophecy]

So the engine has been pulled, the new engine is mostly ready, still a gasket or 2 to get- found that the power steering rack and driveshafts are both stuffed, so they'll be replaced before the engine goes back in, and also the brake lines need replacing too... The closer we get, the further we end up from finishing... Definitly getting there though, not too much longer I hope.

[Prophecy]

lol... Still no engine in it... Feeling like I may have been wrong, when I previously said it wouldnt be a project that'd last forever, its certainly feeling that way... I do think once the engine actually goes in with a manual box, and it cranks over into life, it wont be long until its driveable. Its just getting that engine done, at this point.

Ended up getting an engine in it from a front cut of another jdm ae92 levin gt apex, with manual gearbox etc. Most of it was together, just lost interest in making it work because I had got the fiesta, which is far more enjoyable in pretty well every way than the levin ever would have been, so I sold it. The guy that bought it got it like 99% but a fuel issue left him with a car that wouldnt run, I have no idea whether he managed to fix it or if he sold it on as well. Either way, maybe i'll be in a trueno gtz one day, but the Levin was not to be, in the end.
