Young, stupid and naive I bought the piece of shit asap because it was the first one I had seen for sale since I started looking in 2001. Being the first car I ever bought, it holds sentimental value and I have refused to sell it even when getting ridiculous Initial D & Drift Taxed offers thrown at me for it. Oh how I love you Hachi Roku.
Man, I was on cloud nine till I started looking at the car more in depth.I quickly realized I was a jackass and basically bought a rolling case of tetanus.
The rocker panels were completely disintegrated, right front fender was made of body filler, the floors... well yea no need to continue further.
BUT, the bright side was it drove well
The powerhouse of a motor, the MIGHTY 4ac kept putting around till I ripped it out in the summer of 05 and built a 7ac for it.
Saved up, got all the rust fixed, Bought a few sets of wheels, Recaros, rollbar, suspension and other cool tidbits that I always wanted..
And this was how she sat in her last appearance
Something happened after the car was in this state.. I still cant explain it, but I lost passion for it and let it sit for a year. I tried reviving it in the summer of '09, and it wasn't there for me anymore.. I had just lost passion for the car. It ALMOST got completed with a KA swap and it would have ended up a crazy missle car with lots and lots of flair.The way it currently sits is close to how I first got it minus all the rust, Longing for a touch of love.
As of now, the car is practically stock and all of the parts once meant for my dream CorollaHH are now residing on my 87 GTS coupe.
Its funny how shit changes though time.
Where this car is headed will leave everyone picking their jaws up off the ground.
