Purchase history and first photos! — Toyota Corolla, 1.3 liter, 1992

With the receipt of a driver's license in 2008, the problem of buying a car arose ... it was difficult to make a choice, in cars at that time I didn’t do much at all, for the first time I got behind the wheel only in a driving school ... due to living in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - Norilsk, there was no need, and why when the city can be safely walked through)
The eternal problem also introduced the problem of choice ... financial, at that time I worked as a Security Guard, I saved little by little and from the left earnings.) The range and condition of cars of the mid-80s was quite sad, and take Russian auto prom I refused to cut! Father helped out, at that time he had the right for 9 years already) but after the driving school he didn’t drive at all) realizing that for him this is also a good opportunity for driving, he gave me a small financial bonus.
A familiar uncle who works as a mechanic ... mostly only Japanese cars, recommended Toyota to me as a means of transportation, with a reliable engine, unpretentious maintenance and inexpensive to repair. At that time, he himself was driving a Cruiser 80, in perfect condition) I was looking for options, he looked at them in the garage, 2 or 3 cars were in a terrible technical condition, we immediately abandoned them. Options were less and less, and then I stumbled on it) white toyota corolla with a good external condition of the photo. Phoned the owner, she had the way, too, was like the first car. The assessment of the technical condition sounded like a verdict, replacement or engine capital, otherwise everything is fine. After bargaining, we agreed on a price including repairs. I took a day to think … and could not refuse too painfully I liked it.
The next day, together with the owner of the car, we went in the morning to shoot and immediately put on record. For which I helped him until the very receipt of the numbers. After which I had to immediately get behind the wheel and take him home ... it was my first driving experience without an instructor)
Having given the car to be eaten up by my uncle the next day, it was decided to change the engine all the liquids, battery and more little things. For one thing, having put a hydrach, it wasn’t in this very vegetable configuration) for me then it didn’t matter at all)
I didn’t find a place for myself for a couple of days while the car was being repaired), but the expectations were justified by good technical condition and readiness for winter. With a small budget, I got a reliable city apparatus that has not let me down to this day.
Outwardly, the car is now unrecognizable, but there is no limit to perfection)) we will work further))
