ok everyone so i have a 91 corolla with the 4afe and im new to the corolla game. this car was given to me and it has not been started or drove in almost 3 years. i am told that the only reason the car was parked was because the clutch went out. now when i removed and the spider webs out of the way i removed the oil cap and peeked inside and it looks like everything is covered in rust. it has about 250x on it but my aunt had it and i know it was driven correctly, and not abused. now the question lies here, i plan on getting a new clutch kit and slave cylinder and everything and trying to fix it this weekend, do you think it will even be worth trying to fix seeing as it has been sitting for so long? anyone with knowledge on these motors please help me! like i said im new so i have no knowledge here, any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks everyone!

The main thing is if the engine spins then your good , need to drain the tank from gas and if all else fails a good 20v project car as long as the body is good take some photos and lets check it out .

If you get a chance take the valve cover off so you can look at the entire head ... And if it goes bad you can buy a cheap replacement for like 300 bucks but like I said before the 4agze would the cheapest way to swap and go boost

Try uploading them on tinypics or photobucket take the IMG code copy it and paste it on here . real simple ,
Another idea if your not worrying about making it fast and just getting it running you can still by a stock motor cheap and keep the car especailly if the body is in good shape .

WoW bro that car looks sweet , It's worth keeping regardless if you keep it stock , Dont let that sucker leave your hands .
Look inside the door and see where that car was manufactured cause the rear tails in the center look jdm and the head lights look like glass , Same with the grill .
