WRECK to hi-spec
06.04.11
The Palmerston North performance-car fabricator is just putting finishing touches to his complete rebuild of a 1972 two-door
Toyota Corolla. Scott Pellow, of Palmerston North, did just that when he rebuilt a rare 1972 two-door Toyota Corolla from a wreck. Mr Pellow spotted the car on Trade Me three years ago. It has been three years of work, from locating the car's hard-done-by, bogged-up carcass on Trade Me, to transforming it to a high-performance, matt-black jewel. At a recent V4 and Rotary Jamboree, it won the judge's choice award, and Performance Car Magazine is about to write up the story of its rebuild. "It's a display cabinet of all the skills that go into this type of work," Mr Pellow, 26, says. Scott Pellow builds his dreams. Pimp my car.
