That interior admittedly does look to be in pretty fine condition
It actually is, it just needs to be cleaned and such. Too bad it does need a new radio, it does work but it's extremely glitchy (like the radio is just about to give out) and only plays on one speaker (both work btw). The only downside is all the damn wiring issues, the blinkers don't work. The headlights don't work, the brake or reverse lights don't work, the fan switch doesn't work, and etc. It'll take a day or two to fix the wiring and small issues.

At least this corolla is basically the lowest spec model you could get in '89 which means nearly everything about it is the simplest it can be, so that's a plus. It's also carbureted, hell ye

It was like 30F this morning. I had to jump my fuel injected car with my carbureted car. I thought fuel injection was supposed to make life easier lol.

Of course I haven't had to spend 10+ hours getting the fuel injection just right.

Here's a photo of my dad's old 1965 Ford Mustang before we started ripping it apart restoring it from last year, I don't have many photos saved on my computer for it.

Ford never really has made a good looking car

Who knows but at least they look good (imo). Much better than 21 inch chromie things with 2 inch thick tires that pretty much everyone does now, ew

Small rims with thick tires on these cars look amazin

Dumb little story, recall on the seatbelts of my moms car and we were given a loaner car, a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's a 100 mile drive from there so I was taking a nap when I woke up to the noise of the engine. My mom likes to rest her hand on the shifter and accidentally put it in "manual" mode and was redlining it. She said "its been doing this for about ten minutes. I can't get past 50."

no, they're not factory for it's original option. It belongs to a different Mustang my dad owns.

forget mechanical fuel pumps.

So far we've went through 2 mechanical fuel pumps in a row, both broke. The first one actually lasted about half a minute, but this new one which cost 75 bucks that we got TODAY broke after the first 2 seconds of running.

Now we're giving up on mechanical fuel pumps and are gonna buy an aftermarket electric one, seriously forget them.

Having to wait all weekend for the first pump because I love this car, for it to be a tease. Wait another 2 days? It forgets up again.

It's infuriating

You sure its just not pulling a bunch of stuff up through the tank and getting clogged? Kinda weird a new one would just break considering there's not a whole lot to them.
