What do you guys think of this Corolla??

This has been sitting up the road from be for like 2 months now. SO finally I went and ask if it was for sale. The guys roommate said it is. But it hasn’t sold. So I have taken a few pics because I need your guy’s opinion.

These are just some quick pics that I took to show you guys.
I think he was asking $500 Canadian. He said that it had a tranny leak. I haven't been able to look at it because the guy selling it was not there.

I think it is an 81. It is a 2 door Auto. 1.8 L.

What do you think?

Also is it hard to find parts ( Like a tranny ) if I wanted to make it into a manual.

I don't know anything about these cars. But I want to :-) I want to make a little rally car and I hear that these make some really killer cars.

Thanks for your guys help.

that looks like an AE70. they are cool but the auto sounds bad. i dont know what engine the 1.8 is but if it was manual, it would be a good rally beast.

is it hard to find a manual tranny for these?
