Junkyard Find: 1984 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Spray-Foam Rust-Repair Edition

On Tuesday, we saw this '83 Toyota pickup with not-so-effective fiberglass-and-Bondo cover-up-the-rust-and-hope-it-goes-away repairs, and today we'll be looking at a thoroughly used-up Corolla with similar squeeze-another-few-months-out-of-this-heap repairs done by someone who knew he or she would be the vehicle's last owner.

Wikipedia editors believe that the 4A-LC engine was sold only in Australia, Switzerland, and Sweden, but you'll see plenty of these two-digit-horsepower cockroaches in US-market Corollas.


US-market ads for Corollas and their kin seldom employed the word "sexy."

San Franciscans— hundreds of them, lining the streets— doubted that the '84 Corolla sedan could do anything.

John Davidson pitched a special New Zealand version of this car. 49 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 18 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 09 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 01 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 02 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 03 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 04 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 05 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 06 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 07 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 08 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 10 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 11 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 12 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 13 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 14 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 15 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 16 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 19 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 20 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 21 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 22 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 23 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 25 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 26 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 28 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 30 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 31 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 32 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 33 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 34 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 36 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 37 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 38 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 39 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 40 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 41 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 42 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 43 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 45 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 46 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 47 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 48 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin 51 - 1983 Toyota Pickup Junkyard Find - picture courtesy of Murilee Martin
