New daily driver suggestions £6K

If you got a toyota falling apart on you then yes i do question your mechanical aptitude
Who has ****** in your sippers? What the hell are you on about. I bought it on 130K miles when the sill was already starting to rot for £1,500. With the sole intention of making more money when I break it for parts which is what I am about to do hence the new daily driver. Maybe you want to track down the 4 previous owners who let it get to that state and give them your professional opinion?

As you can see I clearly don't know what I am doing. Shall I send you over the build for your expert analysis of my skills? :rolleyes:

I think readings got the better of you today. Never mind, better luck tomorrow after a bit of a break.

Lol mental isn't it. I build my own engines and do all my own work except gearboxes and get slammed by some random person on a forum for having a rotten sill on a Corolla which I literally bought to have a free car for a few years and make money on top in the end. Strange if you ask me but hey ho.

Fair enough I didn't exactly cherish it but still I already knew the shell was a rot box. The new Civic is getting the full going over with sealant when weather is better. Will pull all the arch linings and side skirts etc.
 
Feel like I am wasting my time here. But here we go.

3 part series:

building demolished under a toyota cant even kill it.

I don't often post on here but when I do this forum is great entertainment.

Everyone has their tipple :cry:
Me included, I am indulging right now. But this guy was drunk at 5:52pm. Judging by the 1st post.

Impressive.
But get some pics up of the corolla the bits where the rot is.
Here you go, also included a pic of a 2ZZ engine bay on a Corolla just so you don't get confused between a 1999 Starlet and a 2004 facelift Corolla.

The rust has obviously come from where somebody has jacked it up in the wrong place in the past and it's caved in the sill, or it's been hit on the off side, split the paint and it's been left.

If I had a trailer and towing vehicle then I would strip it, sell the valuable bits and turn it into a track car.

100-150 quids tops worth of welding would sort that. Is rest of car all good and worth fixing to keep?

This is the most Motors I've seen Motors in a long time. 'you're a **** mechanic, your car has rot' - 'I bought it like that' - 'no excuse you're still ****'

Wow.

Why claim your a top mechanic, buy a rotted car and then cant fix it? No excuses really iv fixed cars far more gone than the ops where people thought they would be just scrap. Sure it takes some money to fix but if your a top mechanic like op claims then one weekend with the welder is more than enough to fix.
If he bought it like that well then a stitch in time saves 9. Should have fixed up on day of getting it which would be easier and cheaper to do.

Iv come across too many people that just watched some youtube vids and swaped out a air box for induction kit then claim they are the best mechanics around. Pees me off

He's claimed a few times it was a cheap wreck he doesn't care about. But your constantly giving him **** for it. Why does it even matter. Its not like he's conning people or even really bragging about anything. He just says he does his own mechanics, and by the looks of it is quite adept.

You're jumping down some guys throat just for the sake of it, and don't want to admit you went to far.
