    Default E30chicks Winter Hack - Toyota Corolla

    The E30 is going into hibernation for the winter so my automotive advisor / boyfriend found this for me on the hinternet. Finally got a chance to get my hands on it today to give it the once over.

    Before:








    During:




















    After:











    So car was steam washed, there was a lot of moss and crap on it, I don't think the car was washed any time within the last 5 years The engine got a bit of a clean up as well.

    I stripped the seats out and then my Dad shampooed them, was going to do the carpet but just didn't have the drying time for it as I couldn't leave the car with him.

    Would have been nice to have been able to do it while the seats were out. We sprayed the wheels black and then just gave the wheel trims a quick going over with some silver paint, cleaned the whole interior and put some shiney stuff on it.

    Changed the plates on it and then I managed to get the car clayed and that was all I got done today. The car actually could do with a second clay there is loads of crap on it and it was coming off but it needed a few goes and time was not on my side.

    I will get it polished and sealed up for the winter in the next couple of weeks but the important stuff got done today.

    Then me and my Dad decided to try and fix the bumper for the laugh cos well we had nothing to loose, got the heat gun out and I started to heat up the bumper then he drilled to holes and got a hook and we managed to pull it back into shape.

    Then he started to get creative with some silver paint It's amazing the things you will do to a car when you don't really care about it, he would never have gotten near the E30 with a hook!!!

    Anyway sure it's popped out now, total butcher job but hey it only cost me a lunch Need to order some touch up paint this week from Toyota and tackle the other marks.

    Very happy with the result sure tiz only a winter hack but at least she is clean now no excuse for a dirty car

    Expect gay his and hers Toyota shoot in the near future.......
