thanks man,

 

raised the rear a bit today as i hate bottoming out when i have a full car, so got some mx73 springs so they are a bit stiffer too!

lose the hang ring and front lip, swap the mirrors out for factory items (if you can even find them). the best thing about Coronas is SAPOL don't care about them yet. make it stand out less > drive more.

Do not do this, please.

 

I've always wanted to see someone give some love to the 80's Ronas!

 

Keep it up man! Love the direction you're going in. Any future plans?

People do, just not in ways you would notice. AKA mine with a 1jz and numerous others I know going around with 1g's etc.

yeah Ive taken the hang-ring off cause it looked out of place and gay. never gonna get rid of the fender mirrors cause their cool and hardly anyone one have them! front lip is just their to hide a rusty dent in the scuttle panel and it was free so I'm not complaining.

 

not too much plans for it at the moment man, just want to make it really clean and reliable. i love clean engine bays so i want thinking of ditching the stock carby and put some r1 carbys or twin solex carbys to make the bay less busy!

 

i have heard of 1jz's in coronas, especially over in india i think! how does it fit, many modifications?

the other week i sold the logchamps as I'm i needed to pay some people back

 

bought some wheels from u pullit with new tyres for 140

just been cleaning it up lately. got no money at the moment haha

anyone know how to get that old glue off of the pinstripes?

 

gave it a polish, came up alright but could be better.

 

 

gave the wheels a coat of black

 

 

made a gear knob out of a bmx peg and it actually feels so good to shift!

 

 

i put on a smaller muffler from an exhaust i had lying around and put a tip on it. i need to get that high temperature paint so it doesnt burn

 

 

i also got a rear louvre for $20 bucks! granpa spec!

i went to u pullit today to get some interior pieces and when i was paying for my stuff the bloke said if i wanted the steering wheel that was just sitting next to the window, i kindly accepted and got myself a free wooden steering wheel!

 

the clear coat has come off a little and a its bit ruff and i don't know whether to sand it back and varnish then clear coat it then give the center a coat of black instead of the chrome.

this is what it currently looks like

this is what i was thinking of doing

or something like this?

Edit - stoopid iphone double post

Don't paint the steering wheel white! Those wheels look heaps better black. They were silver when you came into my work and I hassled you about getting rid of the long champs hahaha. Try wax and grease remover for the glue, if that doesn't work use a caramel wheel on a drill, that'll work sweet!

was that you! should have said man good meeting you aha yeh i like them black so i might just get spacers for the rear or i will save for wider wheels after rego!

 

i think i might just do wood grain with a black center for the steering wheel! also getting a boss kit today so hopefully i can fit the wheel this arvo

today i got some 14x7 jelly beans, so I'm going to polish them up then get tyres fitted to them soon.

 

also fitted my steering wheel and boss kit, don't know wheather i like it or not but i might save for a leather wheel.

 

pic soon

i polished my jelly beans, came out alright for 20 minutes a wheel haha

 

put them up against the car and i reckon they suit it!

 

today after school i started to sand down the only rust bit in the rear guard

 

thought it was gonna be worse than it was

 

i then rust treated it

 

i have bogged it but forgot to get a picture.

 

started to sand down this door as it has left over pinstripe glue and all little chips, it is ready to paint tommorow so hopefully the weather is good for that. forgot to get a picture of it sanded.

The wheels look nice polished up man! I saw you might be interested in putting on some R1 carbs one day, if you ever are I have a set in the shed I'm willing to sell, was gonna do it to mine but I've decided I wanna keep her original and go historic rego.

 

Let me know if your ever keen, keep up the work! - keen for updates
