What does a crap car look like after getting really bad cosmetic upgrades? we all know that answer... but this is one for the books... Remember, this started life as an RB....

I honestly didn't think the RB could get any worse but i proved myself wrong... ergh....

x 2 its a fantastic job... it looks like a 2004+ model car...

but why the f*#k would you want a 2004+ looking car with a SOHC 1.5ltr carburetted engine?

(assuming it doesnt have a crazy conversion done to it)

still a pox FWD

Thats a lot of Corolla in that Gem...
It may not look too classy, but the effort put in to fulfill a thought is great.
I'd love to see the cops ask... "Ummm what is this car?"

Not all of them came out with the SOHC 1.5 carby engine, there was turbo efi models, twin cams etc

Of course, we never seen them sold here lol

id be interested to see it up close and in person, i mean, it looks like a factory job.

A chinese factory rip off job, but still, look at the panel gaps and finish on it, its friggin seamless.

I guess its also the difference in quality of work that people are prepared to do in different countries, that car is in Jakarta? but obvioulsy it was still financially worth it. here, every panel shop would say "Why bother, its not worth it, it'd cost too much, just buy a new car" Because they are lazy and couldn't care, and think that no-one in their right mind would spend that much (which they probably wouldn't)

Another good example is that bloke in Croatia doing up the kadett, or that wagon from brazil that had most of the body replaced.
