well i sold my cressida a few weeks back as it gets dirty 10 minutes after i wash it, so i went looking for some cars and this corona sedan about an hour from my house, looked very overrated so i gave the bloke a call and said yeah come see it. made the journey out there and it was a piece of shit, had dents, scratches and rust. he must of taken the photos of when he just got it as it didn't look like the same car in the add. After driving away and not even telling the seller we were there cause it was that bad, i then quickly jumped on gumtree and saw this corona wagon. looked clean low K's tiny bit of rust and 5 spd! rang the bloke up and was there in 5 minutes took it for a test drive and bought it! this was the 3rd time driving manual and it was a struggle but i got it home with only stalling it once!

 

specs:

 

motor:

2sc 2ltr

5spd

 

susp:

cut front springs (only1coil)

mx73 springs in rear

polyurethane rear bushes

 

exterior:

14 x 7 -+0 centreline type?

fender mirrors

garden edge front lip

JAF badge on front grill?

 

shit edit^

 

PLANS:

 

i want too keep it as original as possible but with a few upgrades. i want the interior to be as good as it can be as i hate driving around with a dirty looking interior. bits and peices of the dash are broken so ill go to ustealit and get a new one. to tidy up the outside ill give it a big polish! and paint the black plastics BLACK again. just a general tidy up and then save for twin carbies to give the engine a bit of an upgrade!

 

any suggestions welcome! thanks

I'm thinking of getting those fender mirrors on my khana car, probably wont be very convenient though. Lookin nice

do it dude! they only took like 20 minutes to install, get someone to dummy fit them while your in the drivers seat where you think would be best!

The only problem is that it's a khana car and it would suck to destroy a $40 set of mirrors

pulled out the stereo and the wiring was pretty dodgy, everything was twisted and tapped. so i started to solder and heat shrink them and clean it all up. however there were a few wires that had no idea where they went and when i connect it to another wire it will just cut the stereo out?

all cleaned up

these are the random wires, any ideas what these would be used for? sub amp etc

Power antenna, amp power signal, illumination or reverse camera, park brake so you can only watch DVD's when parked

 

I'm guessing you have a DVD head unit?

cheers mate, nah its only a head unit no DVD

Does it have a video output? Model number?

don't think it has a video output? not very good with electronics and wiring haha

 

also found some white tape and decided to put it on the rear window to see how they look, don't know if i like it yet but ill do they rear side windows before i make the decision to keep them or not.

 

also did some DIY blue walls from a PASCA pen! and got some cheap as roof racks!

don't know whether i should go lower at the rear? tuck some Tyre haha or just leave the rear and get some king spring lows for the front and cut a coil? cause the front springs only have like 4 coils left and i don't wanna cut them again!

 

any suggestions welcome cheers

This didn't last long. Just saw the add on Gumtree.

I think he's already been through 3 or so cars

yeah for $4000

 

I spat my drink all over the screen when I saw the price

it is for sale but gonna take it down cause the car i wanted sold :( yeh 4000 was a bit over the top lol there was a red one on there like a week ago for 4k aswell so i thought why not haha when i really wanna sell it deffiently wont be that much. will be sticking with this now till i get off my p's

Yeah saw the red one. There's a rusted out version of mine (RT81) that's been up for months. Started at 4500 down to 2500 and still won't get it. It's got huge rust holes in it haha.
