Well, it's MOSTLY SC400 anyway
I've been lurking on this board for a long time, but have never posted anything about my car, but now I have something to show. It may not the usual CL material, but it IS as much SC400 as anything else, so I thought you guys might like to see an unusual use of SC parts.
It is a '75 Corolla with the motor, front and rear suspension from a '92 SC400.
Here are a few pics of the work in progress. ALL the work was done by me, at home, in my garage.
This is the car as I got it six years ago--bone stock and pretty rough.
Stripped down to reveal the real extent of the rust.
Custom chassis.
An early mock up
And how it looks now
This was somewhat more involved than the average project, so if you want to check out the whole process, I have a blog here:

Thanks for looking,
Mark

hmm. much props for the work and dedication, and overall it looks pretty cool, however those wheels don't fit the oldschool style at all. that and a few other minor things I'm seeing I'd fix up/do differently, but it's definitely badass. i love classic JDM cars.
