Buggin, talk about a "rag top" Ok, sorry, only kidding.  What's wrong with it? It looks like it has a few cosmetic issue that I'm sure you can deal with but hows the car as far as mechanical issues? Do you need to sink much in parts or are you still looking deeper into it? Hope it works out for ya. Germans tend to build over board in machines. ;D Best of luck! And may it give you many caged miles for the $. M/C |

Hey buggin sweet deal! I bought my 16 year old stepson Zack a 2000 Toyota Corolla this summer for $2750 and have put about $300 in it and so far so good, cheap to insure, cheap on gas and tires and everything works on it well. Runs and drives great.
Hope yours runs good too.

Jr i need to do a tune up on it but the weather here was perfect to install the new top so i have been working at getting that done today started about 11 am and worked on it until 5pm here are some pics  taking off weather strips  have to be careful the metal trcks are easy to bend   fun part getting all the old stapels out (not) laid the top out over the hood of the truck to warm up and make things easer    here is where i got to before it was getting to dark out will finish the top rear window tomarrow |

well i finish the work on the top today felt wierd to take a knive to a new top but i had to open up the top for the rear window this car has a glass window with defroster mounted with a rubber gasket and i adjusted the latches so the front of the top is pulled down nice and tight to the windshield header    now it is time to work on the shifter linkage and get the new bushings in and tune her up |
