- Back at it again with another crazy clean Corolla build from Big Mike Muniz. You’ve seen the concours special, the FIA spec rally car, and now this: the perfect TE27 build for the streets. It may be “just” a Levin, but with Mike’s level of clean build and tasteful mods make this thing that perfect balance of restomod that’s true to it roots, while being fun in modern times.

that grin Mike has on his face, he is like a proud father!!!
when i was a teenager in the philippines i can not afford that car......now im 50, i still can not afford that car LOL
That "NAKO PO! BASTOS!" sticker got me 😂🤣 hard
I’m loving all the classic JDM cars that have been on the Channel recently! Keep up the amazing work Larry!
yup I could tell Mike grew up in the 🇵🇭🇵🇭Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭 during the 80's...the Bosch horn, those Hella auxiliary brake lights, the Pioneer 8-track player, that mechanical fan in the passenger seating area. this car is so period correct I'm just nodding my head in approval to the amount of detail and love he put into this build...RESPECT bro..
I love this guys whole vibe and you clearly see how much he loves his old toyotas. Props my man. 🔥
Nice ride! I miss my '74 SR5. It had a 2TC motor, headers, wild Isky cam, widened SR5 rims 13x5 out back and stock up front w/ beauty rings around, MSD, electric fuel pump, racing steering wheel, shortened shifter, polished valve cover, tachometer placed right over my steering wheel column, motor carriage painted gloss black. I miss her.😄
That was just amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed. Spectacular car. And, a bit of 2000GT sizzle at the end. Jelly
Chen is waiting for his unicorn, the 2000gt Toyota. He's almost crying with expectation.
I know that feeling. When I visited TAM in 2014 I stood watching the off-white 2000GT hardtop spinning around for quite some time drinking in all the details. And then I went and spent just as much time staring at the equally gorgeous and awesome (in my opinion) red Sport 800 on display near it. TAM is awesome and all car people should go there if they are able, there's so much to see
Dude is an inspiration to me. Especially as I've recently been falling in love with Corollas.
So floored at the thought behind all of Mike Muniz toyota builds. Its crazy. Makes me think twice on how I want to build my cars. These Muniz Autofocus pieces are literally an experience. Thanks Larry for putting these together!
I’m really enjoying the Corolla coverage
I remember these cars in the 1980s were so rusty and so to see one these days in NZ is a rare treat
Such a rad car. I too agree with Mr. Muniz that induction sounds better than exhaust like at 26:10. Absolute music.
Absolutely loved this video!! Probably the best Corolla model Toyota has ever made to date! Yeah, Corolla is reliable, economical and the new ones are well made and quick, but nothing compares to this model. That's my opinion.
Absolutely love this car, I have driven one in my teens and still can feel it
OMG, love this car! reminds me of time stationed on Okinawa! Friend had a Trueno, I had a Chaser, with the same damned speakers!!! I loved the car scene during the 80's in Japan. Lots of nights at the A&W. Great ride man, thanks for sharing.
I owned a '70's Corolla 5 speed fastback with the factory flares back when I was younger.
Big Mike - thanks for bringing back those great memories.
makes me want to work on my 79 after watching this. #goals
The best Toyota Corolla model and it's detailed restoration done are amazing!
Love that Car !! I’m Puertorrican , we call that car , in my country , cocorito, or candunguito, we puertorricans we love oldschool toyotas❤️🇵🇷
Oh my Got! Dis Pilipino accent is D best 🙏🏾🇵🇭💪🏾
Between his three videos Larry made a damn feature-length film!!!! I love it!!
Good stuff Larry! Thank you for the killer videos
The way his whole face is smiling when he smiles.
You could tell that he loves what he does there.
Really awesome. 🤲🏻🐒💨
I seriously admire this guy and his knowledge of TE27's and just Corolla's in general. This is what a true car enthusiast looks like folks.
awesome build!! love everything the owner has done to this corolla!!
These old corollas are amazing!
beauty car! Grant does amazing work! I have his seat skins in my 1973 Celica and such top notch work!
Larry bringing the best oldschool cars. Super cool man!
You picked the perfect photographer great job Larry, awesome corolla, best I've seen for a long time fantastic job cheers KC Tassie 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎👍
love the paint and trim. super good looking
Stop! ANOTHER ONE!? MIKE HAS ANOTHER ONE?! WOW!
looks at rally car: too dirty. looks at show car: too clean. Looks at this one: Just right
I run duel Weber 40 IDF down drafts on my 78 Fiat spider. 1.8L DOHC with velocity stacks. You’re absolutely right. Nothing sounds like a good set of carbs. One carburetor per cylinder the way God intended.
We know this guy as Mike Muscles or Big Mike or Mad Mike. He is probably the 4th guy that i know who collects mangoes. I had 5 in our family. I had a wagon, a 4 door seda, 2 door sedan, and 2 coupes back in the day.
He is also friends with Denis, Joel Tan, Joel Lus, Raymund, and Angelo Angeles. We met Mike ages ago when our mango use to be still on the road with the Milo green color.
Dude! Mike has some CLEAN azz Corolla's! I did a feature on one of them on my gaming channel! Good dude too. Nice video, guys.
I love this car, and this inspires me to restomod a Japanese car .
J.T. kept the spirit of the car when I had it, but he refined it by resourcing all the interior pieces as well as he painted it that orange that i wanted and converted it to right hand drive.
I love that clear distributor cap.
I can’t wait to see what the 2000gt will look like. 2000gt for sure is the top dream car for me. 😍😍😍
Beautiful build.
Support Autofocus and grab an epic print for your wall.

Hey i have a 74 Te27 ! i need mikes help to finish
When you hear a Filipino accent in Larry’s video, you know the build is about to be legit
think i might have seen this thing in san diego for a wildcards meet last year ! beautiful
Those are solex locks for the hood right? And the center hood prop support is so clever. Mike probably have hundreds of small trick details on this car. The car is just so nicely put together. You can literally see how much passion it received. Thanks for featuring old school Jdm numba 1...lol.
2tg 😍, might be my favorite te in the world
This guy is a Legend.
Grew up in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I remember the drag and slalom days in greenhills!!! So nostalgic! I wonder if there are any Mitsubishi Lancer Box Types and L types restorers out there? It wouldn’t be complete and period correct without those guys as well. Thanks Mike for sharing your rides!!!
The box types are thriving here fortunately. The L-types are a bit rare though.
You r a true car guy bring up your car is perfect
Love those wheels!!
What a nice guy. Good features
That engine sound 😍😍😍
Loved the restoration. Great video. The TS-X9 speakers are mounted incorrectly. Left to Right. The tweeters should be on the outside.
This guy is a legend
My dad had a little yellow 79 with a 2TC & a 4 speed. I miss that car 😔
Wow. Very well done car.
Wow! I love it
love it... from england!
I seen the mitsubishi lancer in the garage too. Nice toyota. Love them cars
Awesome Classic Car
Squash Air Freshener is a must, right under the A-track tapes.
You can see how much the owner loves this car!!
Corolla for every duty... 💯
🇵🇭 represent!
So beautiful
Very nice Te27 👍
Love it. I have one in 1/64 scale
I used to work at a place called Ray's Auto Electric and the owner used to rebuild the old AM tube radios and 8 tracks and install bluetooth and until he passed away he was one of the last people that rebuilt those radios
He even rebuilt a record player that was for cars and we installed it in a old Volvo and the whole turn table floated so it wouldn't skip when you hit bumps
Can't even wait for the 2000GT being restored

Shout out from the Philippines 🇵🇭
@Larry - I’m impressed that you only mentioned your beloved once in this series. 😆
Beautiful car
Pretty cool story ☺️
Thing is beautiful
I do the exact same thing with coins and trinkets that I find in my restorations LOL
I think it's good Juju.. ✌😑👍
I love those horns !
Cleaaannnn
Cool... Yeah awesome
Omg I didn’t realize this is the same big mike social with the ship horns! Get him to do a feature or at !least get him to bring out some of his bigger ship horns and turn them loose in the canyon! Please! Them shits is awesome!
Larry you should ask Mike if he plans to also restore a Sport 800 to match the 2000GT ;-) He would never fit in it to drive it, I think, but it would be awesome to see anyway, they're a super dope car
Sympathetic wire tuck. Ima use that
I wish those could be available in Canada!
Best turbo sound in Forza horizon 3
would be nice if they will make again brake lights similar to those
Intros👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Zamn 😍 one sweet bad@$$ looking car indeed an antic to
Sweet ride ! They totally skipped over the samurai handle on the E brake
This man needs to be watching our channel :)
Hi, I'd like to swap my ke20 coupe with a 4ege engine red top but I'd love to know which gearbox you're using please
My aim with my Toyota Chaser is to maintain it like Mike has with his Corollas
Imagine Nads and Mike in one episode, geeking on Toyota Corollas and Hondas.
Jt’s car and big mike who’s next larry way to go Filipino car community there in the us
Corolla Guy doesn't BEGIN to describe this vehicle
What camera do you use? and lens?
GOALS
Drop the clutch and lil man gooooos
Just no words 👏👏👏🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wanna know what his twin turbo race motor is going to find it’s way into
Damn Larry! You gonna cause a fight between him and his wife with you driving it first 😂😂😂
Popped his Mango cherry. Hahaha
