best bet for motor is probs a whole car off ebay, iv'e got 2 spare coronas, they both cost $250 each

I've been watching ebay for about a year now. None in SA for sale :/

 

There's an old lady up the road from me who has a overrated-condition RT80/81 as a daily driver. I'm waiting for her to die or break a hip so I can buy it ;)

why does the word overrated come up as overrated??

M.I.N.T.

haha, i know, that got me ages ago, then someone told me they did it coz m i n t is used to much, haha

haha, brilliant!

 

Started a thread for mine: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/65032-72-rt80-corona-on-her-death-bed-or-about-to-be-reborn/

I'm glad it was my thread that educated someone in the M.i.n.t. thing :)

we have taken over... :D

such a sweet car mate have not seen one like that before and i was looking for a while. well done lucky you hahah

Thanks man, considering selling up though. Found out a few weeks ago I'm gonna need a family car soon ;) Me and my Mrs are obviously pretty stoked but I think I'll cry when the Corona goes. :(

congrats to you, poor rona though haha :(

Thanks man. I just need to figure out what it's worth before I put it up for sale. There aren't enough around to figure it out haha

Nice man... I wish I was running whitewalls... Mines too loud for that tho hehe

Thanks! We decided to keep the car, and I've bought a Commodore to cruise around in as a family car... Which works out perfect cos the Corona can now stay in the shed and get some love! First on the list is getting the rear leaf springs reset as one side has sagged :)

Sooooo... Nothing too exciting, but now that I have a daily I'm starting to tidy her up a bit more.

 

Got my Whitewalls redone today, made a huge difference!

 

Up next is the front windscreen seal I've had in the garage for 6 months, then a few touch ups of surface rust coming through (about two spots the size of a 20c piece) hopefully you'll all see a few more updates soon!

 

 

Here's a before and after kinda thing:

 

And a picture of the new daily:
