Woops! I meant to say cat!

Both cats belong to my parents

BRIDGY: Thanks, I had just washed it when I took the picture, but my corolla is far from how I want it, I am going to keep it but it will cost thousands of £££ to fix it up the way I want, but as it sits now its my long term project.

I understand what you mean, my corolla looks like a shed on wheels but it's how i picture it in the future that makes me keep on spending money

I guess I could tell you some of my plans..

In order for me to reach my goal with the Corolla I need:

2 new front wings (or whatever they are called)
1 new front bumper
2 right side doors
1 new rear right tail light
1 new rear bumper
New paint
Loweringkit (30/30 or 55/45) I like low cars.
New tires (165/70-14 or 205/45-16)
8 new plastic rings for the wheels

And thats just the parts I can think about right now, the first 5 parts will set me back almost £2600 at the Toyota dealer, and I think I have to spend £7500 in parts and paint to get it looking respectable and then there is the stereo bit that I dont want to think about, thats another £2000 easy!

Would you not get a donor car that has the decent panels on it, you can get mint doors etc over here for about £30. I built my girlfriends E11 front end up for £100 with no dints or damgae without paint. Just a thought mate.

I would have considered a donor car had it not been that 95% of all older toyotas over here rust like crazy, mine only has surface rust but I'm saving up to get it fixed and resprayd in the factory color.

Oh and I found this site on facebook and have asked to become a member, I'm Joachim Yankee Sandven..

More pics, taken today..

looks relly nice mate, should take some of the corolla with that as a background.

Thank you, I wish it would have been possible, but I'm not gonna drive my Corolla into a park just to take some pics of it.

I would! lol I was just thinking about that today at my college campus' park. It's totally deserted on Sundays. And what's the worse that could happen... am I right?

You could get a ticket for parking in the wrong place..
You are so right, more pics are coming later, dinner first.

I like that last one!!!

I definitely enjoy your photography, and that second picture in your last post there is really awesome ^

nice pics bro......any points for us new guys

Thanks everyone!

Yeah Shehroze, use original equipment (Nikon lenses for Nikon camera and so on), test every photo mode on the camera, take pictures in different types of light and different times of day and last but not least, enjoy photographing!

I've been taking pictures for 8 years this summer and I'm still learning new things, I'm also on my 5th camera in that time, all my pictures were taken with a Sony A57 camera and 35mm lens.

I wish you and all the other photo newbies here the best of luck and have fun taking pictures!

sadly i dont have a professional cam bro.bt my phone camera has exposure and all other types of settings

Test all the settings and see which one gives you the best photos, my camera is not a professional one either bro, but I do my best with what I have.

Few more shots

wow amazing shots there bro

Thank you miib

This last set of pics reminds me of my time in Iceland!

Grabbed my camera and went to the beach today
