I've run out of space, must shift some cars/junk. For spares or repair, dad's old 5 door hatch EE90 Corolla GL, 12 valve. Around 60,000 miles (speedo conked out at 57,000 ) body has a few dings & the odd patch, tax & test run out july, needs exhaust. and maybe more weding. Alloy wheels don't go with it, will be back on steels.
I may save the bits that could be useful for projects and weigh it in but anyone interested £100 ish. Have new anti roll bar links for all round, never fitted.

The SIMCA behind the Toyota is the old green 1000 that's now got Honda power. I used to have 3 in the same shade of green...!!! I bought a job lot of paint..!! The two others went to Club members...one was put back to standard..ish, the other is getting a Honda transplant..but this time a B series Vtec.
Don't worry...I'm not weakening...the two green 1000's had to go to make room for the gold supercharged 1000 and the two 1200S coupes.

I'm so jealous Mick, I wish I could get away with putting that many cars on my driveway without the OH killing me!

Free bump!

Remember after the nuclear apocalypse there will only be cockroaches and Toyota Corrolas left...

I'm in Chesterfield, Derbyshire (7 or 8 miles from Junction 29 M1). The tax runs till end of next month (July) and it's tested till July 18th 2012.
I'm around here on Saturday but will be at Santa pod for the £999 Challenge on Friday and have a SIMCA Club event Sunday.
Dad had the Toyota from nearly new and I've run it the last few years but just have too many cars now so it's got to go.

Toyota's now gone to a new home on the forum...Will take photo from the same spot as TooSavvy requested.... although I've 'shunted' all the cars round since. It even looks like I've got a bit of space spare now...!!! although it's quite tempting to fill it with another SIMCA or Honda. Mick

Hi Mick,
Thanks very much for selling me the Toyota, and also for the guided tour of what seemed to be the only Simca dealer left in the U.K. Haha. As promised I will send you some photos when it gets raced on the banger track. That won't be for a while though as 6 months of road fun is gonna come first.

Thanks again, Mike

As requested, photo from same spot now Toyota has gone. A bit of 'shunting' around has freed up more space. Currently, sorting SIMCA/Honda's clutch problems, 'new' engine for FIAT 133 and getting on with welding on SIMCA pickup are held up by wet weather...garage is full of junk..!!! 'Dead' Espace in background serves as parts for my tow car/future project and handy 'shed' for more junk.
