i've heard of several people who have done what your friend has. pang project car kumbaga, na shell lang talaga ang kelangan, the rest papalitan/imomodify na.

parang ang mura nga sa 5K iyon ..magkano nna ba ang windshield/glass windows,sama mo pa mga doors at fender sa Surplus shop ..
mukhang pwede gawin project ito ..may mga nag rerepair din naman ng dashboard..sa engine at underchassis parts dami naman pwede makunan sa banaue (or capalangan

)

yeah thats true.. magiginng private cars parin ang corolla na yan kahit ginawang taxi dati.. maganda yan sa mga start mag karoon ng kotse.. pero its very very cheap na talaga pag bili mo.. di pwde eh junk nalang yan..

di mabubura sa isip natin yan ang corolla... matigas parin kahit luma na... that's why the saying goes Today, Tomorrow, Toyota

Hmmm pwede yata pang-driving school. Pang-deliver ng mga stuff? Or sa dump site? Haha. Useful parin yan sigurado

about close to half of taxis in metro manila are of this type, so where will they end up when they retire? like the 96 models which are up for retirement

will they be converted to private vehicles? so that means there is a chance that you might end up buying an ex taxi car with this?

no offense lang po, ano po ba ang tanong nyo?

I think dinadala yan sa provinces like Baguio...at taxi pa rin yan.

Hindi yata pareho ang taxi franchises ng NCR and the provinces. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

dinadala sa cavite at ni re restore, tapos binibenta sa mga talyer/car dealer..

andami ngang corolla small body 89-92 sa cavite.. nagkalat..

tanong ko lang.. kung dating taxi ang kotse na nabili mo di ba mas malaki na gastos mo dyan sa maintenance? since pag naayos may masisira na naman?

pero i doubt siguro na sasabihin nilang lumang taxi yan noh? i mean kung may ganon sana at since maraming new drivers every year na bitin sa budget at matunong ang idea ng mura na project car e di magandang business sana yun :D maraming matututunan sa maliit na project car na luma, easily available at cheap parts, at halos lahat ng mekaniko alam pano ayusin dba :D at kung magasgasan man okey lang easily repaired and remedied
