Default new daily driver - this thing's a GEM

well i've been wanting to give my car a break lately and get some type of DD, well a co worker of mine said he had an old school hatchback toyota that needed a clutch. I figured for his asking price, I couldn't go wrong. So i grabbed a trailer and we picked it up. knowing his technical skills i had a feeling it was something simple, and sure enough a clutch slave cylinder would do the trick.

this thing has 92k miles, doesn't leak a drop, and still has AC.

car - $350
slave - $30
paint - $70
mullet - $20


without further adue, here is my new 1988 toyota tercel:

sorry about the stupid imageshack ads.

the car was originally all silver with gray steelies, all paint work and striping is autozone special. we gave the hood a carbon fiber paint job, and forgot to dust it off, which is why it looks like crap in pictures. In real life you would think it was real if it wasn't for the overspray on the front fenders

EDIT: and yes, it does a wicked burnout

yeah we were thinking about it. it's rated at 80whp and about 1900lbs, this thing would MOVE with about 120whp lol.

if anybody has any celica/mr2/corolla/prius wheels, let me know... they'll fit
