Well It's been a few years now since I've modified anything, the last really being my L-WRX that's way up in the Yukon now lol
So here's what I've been looking at for the past year...
I bought this 87’ GTS Liftback basically on a complete whim. A friend of mine needed the money and was willing to let it go for more than a fair price, and I had always wanted one, but never really looked too hard. So like I said, it’s a 1987 Corolla GT-S Liftback, done almost 300,000km now and is on it’s second engine, which iirc is a high-ish compression big port w/ TVIS. It was originally a Vancouver car and has only done less than 20,000km in Alberta since it’s last service at Granville Toyota in 2006. Very minimal rust, and only where it’s quite easy to fix. It was basically stock when I picked it, save for some welded on exhaust, and Azenis on Supra’s. When I bought it, it still needed to pass an OOP, which I was quite familiar with thanks to importing. For it to pass it needed 3 things; pinion seal was leaking and needed replacement, power steering either needed a new pump or to be switch to a manual rack, and some rust needed to be fixed on one front fender where it made it’s way right through the sheet metal. So all that was fixed without too much hassle, besides trying to do a pinion seal for the first time without a lift. But even before all this, the car had 2 seized brake calipers and a leaking brake master. I’ll throw in some pictures here from the day I picked it up to the day it finally passed OOP. Day I got it it was in dire need of a good polish, which you’ll also see the results of.
If I had to choose a direction that I was going with the car, it would just have to be a fun daily, plus restoring it to its original glory. A clean and simple build.
The day I picked her up:
Testing out Polish:
Tackling the Brakes:
Replacing Pinion Seal:
Before/After Interior Cleaning:
After Exterior Polish:
My First Rust Repair:
Engine Bay Cleaned:
Steering Rack Restored:
Installed:
(Also the day it passed OOP)
Now that it was street legal entirely it was my summer daily and one time track car for the summer of 2013. Got to stretch it’s legs for the first time at the first annual Rev for Le Cure. Added a few new OEM parts + a couple simple parts before the races.

T3 Extended Short Throw Shifter:

Basically since then the car has been parked in my garage where I’ve been slowly disassembling it for the past few months. Basically at the point now, where parts are starting to go back on.
