AE101 93' from the Philippines.

Hey there guys, so my name is Angelo and i'm from the Philippines

I'd Just like to share the first ever car I ever used since i was learning to drive way back 2010.. This is our family car since 93' and is currently under project as of this time..

So let's start with,

some pics when i started the project (started at: January 2012):














Looks really nasty and everything was falling apart, I know!

So I decided to go for a Paint job and went for a Blue color, My favorite (of course one of the inspiration here was gold94corolla),
i chose B-510P(Long Beach Blue Pearl)

so after a month of waiting for the paint job here she is..












As of this moment, that's what i currently have so far, everything is still STOCK and I want to keep it CLEAN and SIMPLE (Just like Kiwi-Corolla my idol )... It's still an ongoing project.. and i am currently looking for a good set of Wheels that will look good with the color.

I would really appreciate your Comments, Criticism, and even Suggestions of course..

I will be posting more pics soon. (i hope)

Wow you're off to a good start! lol I had to do a double take, I thought that was Chris' Corolla

Haha, Thanks man. Such a compliment to be even compared to him. hahaha!

very nice car bro, looks alot than when it started

Thanks, i appreciate it, still looking for what wheels should i put in and in that note i have a little request if its possible. mr.miib14

yeah whats the request bro?

I am actually admiring your toms new action on your car, any possibility that we can fit those to mine just to see what it would look like? Or better yet, if you have a suggestion that would be great! (IF YOU HAVE THE TIME THOUGH please, no pressure whatsoever) hahaha

PS: i actually copied your car's duck tail add on.. Looks really good and is currently on paint job (again) as of this moment..

well you are too far away to send them to you to try

i will try to do a photoshop as soon as my laptop is repaired properly

haha I was actually looking for a photoshop, haha sending them here is like buying them because of the shipping. haha! Thanks i'd appreciate it..

quick one for you bro

maaaaaaaaaaaan! it LOOKS GOOD! hahaha great work there, now i have an idea what it would look like. Thanks bro!

Looking great mate!

What are you'r future plans for her? Great base for a project this!

Hey, I didn't know my car inspired your color!!! Thanks, that's cool. Although regardless of color, it looks so much better, and you did a great job putting it back to perfect condition. Yeah it needs wheels, and perhaps lowering suspension next! And maybe some black JDM head lights and corners? While you're at it, just do all the mods I had, and it will look perfect hahahaha j/k

I guess you wanted to do different wheels than similar to what I used?

^ Crazy how much your old rolla has influenced others!

I'd imagine I inspire others as much as others have inspired me!! But most people aren't going to say anything, so I always appreciate when someone does mention my car

you inspired me too, but then i overtook your work and went in a different direction

Exactly....I don't think it would be cool if people did all the same stuff I did (especially without giving any credit ) but my idea is to show other people how many different things you can do to the Corolla, how many parts there are, how creative one can be. Basically, just a kick start people need to start modifying their Corolla!

A bit more 'low,' some bronze wheels, an OEM bumper lip and some subtle skirts would make this and the new paint job.

Thanks idol! So far i don't want to go for a 17" (i heard that it's a lot of money for the tires alone) for the mags, i'm actually looking for 15" of tires what do you think would look go to it?

You definitely should not do 17" if you don't have a body kit! 15" would be just right, especially if you don't lower the car. And while I'm always a fan of gunmetal, bronze also looks good on blue. Of course, what color doesn't look good on blue lol (obviously not green red purple etc)

Good stuff, thanks for the tips! Gun metal is the new chrome i believe... haha, very popular nowadays is what i mean.

Bronze man... what do guys think of these...





(sorry for the small image)


Lemme know what you guys think!

I like the VOLKs. But they are way overpriced in my opinion. If you are looking to buy real TE37s, be sure to look for the "MADE IN JAPAN" and "REFG" stamped on the back. Anyone can put stickers on rims and call it legit.

I've never been a fan because of the stickers lol.

In my opinion, stickers would make your car look sporty. don't you guys agree?

Those bronze rims are niiiiiice.
