1972 Toyota Corolla TE27

AKA "Mango" 

The first time I recall seeing one of these cars modified I decided I was going to own of these cars. The TE27 I purchased has been passed around more than a cheap whore on prom night. Everyone has added a few mods and removed a few when they sell it. well it's my turn to have a hand at making this car better. over the year I have owned this car I have fallen more in love and in debt with this car. I know I will not ever receive the money back from what I have invested in this car. the whole point of it is to have fun! who said fun was cheap?
