i got to give it to you Diego your old blue is original so it looks in the pic, as well as your argument. remember just because a car has body work done and a nice paint job does not mean the shell is straight like an arrow if you know what i mean. from self experience i've seen vehicles that look like they should be in a junkyard an win car shows. also you can't go by pictures.

Thanks man, car was original down to the bones. Also yes i have seen old Rx's with the front end bent cause they have been abused and people try to sell them for 15k. really a car that has been beat is worth nothing. At least to the eyes of people that know what the cars are really worth. Right now any car that has been re-done is worth no more than 13k. its simple, you have to look at the current market.

wow just noticed its been since November since i updated this. lol

Quick notes:
84 Corolla Up in Detroit for sale
71 Corolla had a engine swap to a 1.8 3tc no twin cam anymore. Still turbo though!! That should be done in a couple weeks.
Friend now bought a 81 Corolla! lol 3tc engine all stock with 88k miles.

My rx3 going to Detroit the week the 71 corolla comes back. Gonna get patched up and painted a Penny Copper red. Gonna drop a bully built 13b, pinned, 3mm, bridge ported, and fully Polished up.

Also stole (legally) 74 Corolla off BRD as it was one of his customers projects but never payed him. Body is fully patched and primer ready for nice paint. Comes with built twin cam turbo engine.

Pics

Ouch that sucks man!! My brother is doing it Solo this year for his 40th b-day!

If you healthy by then feel free to come down and you can ride with us. We gonna be chasing him and helping him out along with a couple other people. We are from that area though I currently live here in Iowa.

I may purchase a Class 7 truck to race in, so help in pits would be nice. lol

Guess I am an idiot but am also not exactly sure you are selling for $3k. Assuming the dark blue car, what is included? Driveable? Current state of car? Put it all in one post so people can evaluate.
