Seller said: 1980 Corolla Wagon MILD TO MAJOR PROJECT!!!!!!!!!! You were forewarned. This could be a daily if you wanted but it does need some work to be 100%. This meaning no worrying about leaks, it needs some gaskets replaced. You dont see many of these any more. I have gotten it to this point but it needs alittle more work than I have time for anymore. It runs and drives. Passes inspection. Has current tags. Pros. 5 speed Rear wheel drive New HID conversion Lowerd 3 inchs. 15x8 Front/ 15x9 Rear XXR 002's Kumho tires Two Sparco 4 point harnesses No name header Full Header back exhaust with skunk2 muffler Weber Carb DGV 2 Electric fans on switches No major rust. Save for at the base of the windshield. Very common of these models. Could be easily repaired. Have all receipts of parts bought. Comes with a tachometer. Not wired but simple. I have the instructions and just might get this done soon. New Parts: Water pump Alternator Battery Belt Radiator-hoses-thermostat Wheel Bearings Calipers Brake Hoses Inner/Outer Tie rods Ball Joints Idler Arm/Pitman Rear hatch Supports Rear Shocks Extension housing seal- where driveshaft enters back of transmission. Needs: Alignment timing cover gasket/valve cover gasket. Both have leaked for some time apparently. There is a mild build up on the timing cover and the block. I have to top off the oil/ anti freeze every couple weeks. Car doesnt get driven often. I have a pair of 80's celica seats to go into it. It has a bucket seat on the driver that is busted and doesnt sit up straight. Carpet if you want. The old stuff was nasty so I ripped it out. Interior parts painted. I started to paint the interior and got as far as the door panels. The rest need to be painted. I cleaned them up but never got to it. Front shocks. Havent gotten around to replacing them but I suggest you use first gen mr2 front struts. They are shorter stroke and will accommodate the drop the car has. Dash is cracked but you'll rarely find a model that doesnt have this. Minor rust where the window meets the dash. Very common issue of all models at this point. I suggest the glass removed and the piece repaired. Paint. The goofball before me painted the car with house paint. I began to sand it down. Please use texting. I work full time and am a full time student. 214 - 707 - 2645 or email me.

20 years ago 500$ was a lot more money Than it is today.

I drove an '80 Corolla to work today. Anyone close to this should at least go look.

Saw an ad for one of these in the north Fl. area in the last week....as usual, no mention of which transmission. The local one was about as stock looking as is possible, except for the heavy window tint and upgraded stereo.
