How We Turned a Junk Corolla Into a Lemons Race Car – Lemons Corolla Build Ep. 1

We picked up a 1995 Toyota Corolla for $500 and turned it into our 24 Hours of Lemons entry.

In Episode 1, we tackle:
• The dreaded oil-soaked engine bay
• Seized rear control arms—yanked and replaced
• A full weight-shedding teardown
• Fresh coilover setup
• Plans to weld in a full roll cage next

24 Hours of Lemons racing means building a fun, safe, budget-locked endurance car—and we're going all in. Stay with us as we keep hammering away.
