I've seen this thread. An amzing build. He is a member and I learned a few things about the manual swap from him first just from reading his build. He actually swapped in the manual first....then did the 20V swap seems like shortly after...A mistake I ALMOST made lol. I haven't seen or heard anything recent about the car but it would be nice if he could chime in

A BIG thank you to unlimited for reposting this here especially after TRDForums tanked. I was 16 when I started working on this project and I'm 27 going on 28 this year. Been through 3-4 forum changes and met and lost touch with some awesome people.
I have lost interest in this project a few years ago and it have been hard to get moving again. The more time that goes on the more tired I am and the less motivated I am with continuing with it. I remember how fun it used to be but the feeling is just not there anymore. I ask myself why this is and I’ve concluded it was probably because I turned my hobby into a job and ended up working on other peoples cars day after day. When you work on cars 8+ hours a day, working on your own car after you get home is not something that gets much excitement. So I recently finished up school and quit my job in preparation for a career change.
At this point I have planned on getting some work done on the car, making it into more of a daily driver, and installing the parts I have been gathering in my parts bin the last couple of years.
However I would like to say I do not plan on keeping this car forever so if anybody want to make me an offer for the car and could pick it up from me in Northern California / transport it to where ever you are than please contact me. I would love it to go to someone with the same amount of motivation I use to have.

Hey, FYI, TRDforums has moved from .com to .org, so if you log into TRDforums.org, you will still find your thread Your car was easily one of my favorites, and always an inspiration to me even today. I hope the car remains intact, no matter what you do. But you are correct, making a job out of car work will kill your interest in it, it's one of the reasons I refuse to do work for others, even paid. Good luck with whatever you do

Man sad to hear. I wish I had the money I'd gladly buy it just for the prestige alone.

I'm pretty sure this is every fwd corolla owners dream corolla ... Your car, Scott's, and Pedro's are the top three c.l.eanest fwd corollas I've ever seen and I've seen a lot ... On another note how much would you sell it for?

Heck, I'm entertaining the idea of buying it, just to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Thanks for the kind words. The reason I would sell it is because it has been sitting on my driveway undriven for months. I would only sell it to the right buyer - to someone who would do justice to it. I don't want to mention a price. Make me a reasonable offer, I do have a minimum number in mind. But if you are someone I think who would give it a good home I would take it. I know I won't get what I put into it but it's okay with me as long as it goes to a corolla enthusist.

I would love it to go to someone with the same amount of motivation I use to have. I would love to own this car. But only in a dream world would it happen. Mostly because of my current situation has changed. I spent the last 4 years buiding my Corolla. And getting married recently put a damper on where my focus was with the car. At some point I had to realize that as much as I love this car, I can't sink all my hard earned cash into it when I got debt, and a family to feed. When I was single, I did, but the difference was no one else was aaffected by my decisions. Now that's not the case. Anyway, I plan on visiting Dixon, California in April. Maybe we can meet. I'd love to see the car in person. I've been a huge fan of this build from the first time I seen it. Maybe I can convince my wife I'm buying the car for her.....hmmm....yea ;D
