Hey /o/,

I picked up a $600 corolla from craigslist that's mechanically solid but ugly as fuck, and since I figure I can't really tank the resale value much more than it already is, I want to have some fun with it.

Ideas so far:
>racing stripes made of rust
>hood mounted tach
>cactus garden on passenger side dash
>vintage doorknob shift handle
>reproduction fancy hood ornament
>giant subwoofer
>rattlecan paintjob, but no specific plans yet

Any ideas? The grimier the better.

Replace all of your door locks with padlocks

Use the moss in a spray bottle trick. Tape off racing stripes and spray on the moss. Instant living racing stripes. Mutilate the exhaust. Take a saws-all to it in multiple places, cutting out notches. Over 9000 stickers, but make them all stickers you typically see at car meets. "4 doors for more whores" and "Audi club" and all that bullshit.

Take it to lots of meets and tell everyone how fast it is.
>>
Paint it with house paint and a broom.

Sell the bumpers and drive without them

I don't like people like you when it comes to cars. A 500 dollar car that's not rusted out, runs, and drives is basically a huge opportunity to make something better but you just want to squander it.
>>
>>14832872
that's fair. I might go more on the side of reversible mods so as to enjoy it while I have it but not ruin it for any future owners.

That being said, how would one go about mounting a flower pot onto the dashboard plastic? In the past I've tried things like quakehold but I think I'll have to resort to something a bit stronger than that.

Moss and water in a blender. Blend it fine, so it doesn't clog the sprayer. Spray on shit.

definitely want to replace the stock horn in it. sounds like a fucking bicycle horn

>>14833389
looool i would but the headliner is plastic. reminds me of a civic i saw on craigslist where the previous owner replaced the headliner with tie-dye. i like the crown royal shift boot idea tho.

forgot to mention I want to cover the seats with mexican blankets

also wondering about audio - gonna replace the front speakers with aftermarkets and since this corolla doesn't have rear speakers i'm gonna put some in. the big question is the sub - where should I put it? Trunk?
>>
A lot of camber (:
>>
>>14833471
buy some kickers off craiglist for 30 dollars, they will sound amazing, and straight into the trunk FACE DOWN, always but your subwoofers face down in the truck for maximum bass. and mexican seats, naw nigga get some disney blankets, frozen for the passenger, and get you some lion king nigga
>>
>>14833471
also nigga, take your key, weld that shit to a shortened screw driver so people know you built your shit.
>>
>>14832439
Put on a huge, fake, upward curved exhaust, and make a massive drift wing out of wood. Take off the bumpers and paint the wheels some bright color. Cover the back window in WAT stickers until you can barely see out. Do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Wcl99RlDs

kek.


paint the entire car white. Red meatball on each door. Get 4 or 5 mustang emblems and glue to door right below window. Ask anybody with a vet license, hat, or bumper sticker for directions to pearl harbor.

>>14838753
some body guy somewhere is capable of making that car look like new... or you can just learn how to bondo that shit
>>
>>14838766
So I can just fill the dents and voids with bondo, sand that shit down, and paint over it?

Drill fog lights on the hood, connect maybe one or two of them.

Also bondo and sand the dents but don't print over it.
>>
>>14841715
Thank god. I was about to be pissed if some fuck on 4chan was the reason I had to buy a Tempo instead of a Corolla.

I guess that'd be okay, but like >>14841772 said hood mounted fog lights would look cool.

Honestly, I would give a go at trying to make it look better before trying to turn it into a rolling joke.

I would use this as an opportunity to try your hand at bodywork. Pull what dents you can, strip it down, bondo whats beyond pulling. After the bodywork try your hand at a rustoleum roll on paint job. Ive always wanted to do one and plan on using my CVPI for a similar test project this summer.

If you try and fail miserably, THEN turn it into a clown car. Byt really OP, this could be a great chance to learn some things you can use in the future.

>>
>>14840338

you guys are actually giving me the motivation to find the wiring fault in the brake lights and fix the exhaust.

It's straight piped right out the side front side of the car right now
>>
>>14842006
I think I'm going to do both. Bondo + paint but still have fun and make a tasteful tardmobile

also, I need new tires but I don't want to spend a lot of money, would my best bet be to call some tire places and see if they can hook me up with 60-70% used tires?
>>
>>14842339
do it. where'd u get that sexy, extra-protruding bumper?

Why not cut a hole into the dash and like epoxy a tray into it? Or you could like just turn the glove box into a cactus garden then it won't go everywhere. Also that way when a cop pulls you over you can be like whoops that's the wrong place.
>>
>>14841728
