[Grandma's Rt142]

I bought this beautiful nanna spec rt142 corona a few weeks back. Never had much to do to with coronas, but with the 22re fuel injected engine and factory 5 speed I just couldn't say no

 

My plans are... find the best way to get decent steering lock and fit coilovers, some decent 15 or 16 inch rims and moar low but to keep somewhat of a nanna spec appeal.

 

If anyone has any tips or advice would be muchly appreciated

roof racks are definitely staying and I'm adding a roof basket. still unsure about the stickerbomb but

[My Ae71]

This is my AE71

 

this is the car the day i got it, already 4AGED

 

i got 8 defects in my first 48 hours of driving it and decided to change some shit.

one of the main defects was rust. so i ground it back and this is the shit i found.

 

by the time i cut it out this is all the roof i had left in some places...

 

dad and i cut and fabricated some metal and i had a go at my first real bit of welding with a mig welder. getting the settings right for such thin metal was a pain, but once it was dialed right it was basically point and shoot :)

 

once the rust and stuff had been cut out it was time to be get the spray putty on and primer.

 

the next difficult thing was to choose a colour. it was a toss up between a gun metal grey or an xr6 purple.

just a little colour tester :)

 

i swapped my 15x9 shakatons for some 15x7's 3 piece wheels (not sure of what type :/) and some cash my way

and finally as the car sits today

 

ive got some other plans for the car. i want to get a chin spolier, some 15x8 wheels, maybe meshies or somethng similar to watanabes. and just whatever i can do to try and make it unique
