Random Oldschool: 1974 Toyota Corolla (Peanut)...

Long been overdue is another Random Oldschool from the web. Today i bring you a truly magnificent example of the term "Resto-Mod" 
 what we have here is a 1974 Toyota Corolla. Popularly known as the "Peanut". The Peanut is known for its more compressed length compared to the Corolla coupe sr5. i have no idea why its called a peanut.... it just is lol.




This beauty is another Norcal-Nostalgic. 1stgencelica.com member Verjum2 owns her. Ver started this project 2 years ago. the 1st year just collecting parts and accessories for her. and just last year putting this peanut together...
BTW.. i love the Volk Artisans on it..


Here she is at last year's Toyota Fest. sporting the infamous Tom igettas.
you may be staring really hard at that picture looking at that motor... well here it is...














A 20v 4ag Blacktop. what a beautiful engine bay right???? this motor's work was done by Norcal's one and only Performance Options. just check out the coil cover plate!!!
oh, and BTW... custom high-rise headers from Performance Options also. guaranteed more torque that TRD!!!


Good one on ya VER!!!
