Well I have many plans for the Corolla when I return which will include a full body refresh and paint in the standard colour along with the arches being flared so the car can be dumped on those rare 14x9J Enkei's. Suspension work will also be done with coilovers to get it much lower. Looking at an engine swap too but still considering options for that.
The look im going for Ide consider to be "shakotan" as it will be much lower than it is now! I want to do something different from the "Drift Spec" Corollas that seem to be everywhere! Ill not be adding any wild paint or big overfenders on this car so dont panic, but ill be adding some Boso style detaling such as small stickers and novelty parts just for fun! All for just crusing about and looking and sounding cool 
Something like this..........
Ive also got a set of 14x7 Watanabe wheels for it so it will look like this.........
As for the van, Ive got several ideas and am constantly on the lookout for photos of modded ones in Japan! I have spotted the thread on these vans on here which Ill be adding to soon lol.
Those wheels pictured on it were replacements for the standard steel wheels with modern Yaris hubcaps  . They are off a 1988 Toyota crown and think suit the van well for a set of free wheels  . Ill probably run them with whitewall tyres for that old skool look until I can afford some proper dish for it  .
Something like this to start with...........
But maybe something like this in the end.............
Ill get full Build threads up for both vehicles very soon |

Well Im gonna stick with the 14s on this car as I swapped a set of S*~T wheels I had with a guy who didnt know what Watanabes were...... so less than a pair of tyres
To be honest Im not sure how low i can get away with as my city back home is the world capital of speed bumps . See what I can do tho lol
