Another '78 Corona

[pch]

I knew it! Hahaha. If you ever see a lowered wingless black g35 dropped on 20's that are black with a polished lip, that's me. I'm always driving down Estrella or that side of town.

ohh nice nice. as of right now I ride with my friend (the low green sc300 on RP03s) you most likely have seen it. kinda really stange that you signed up this month and are like ridiculously close. but thats sick

[seffer]

this thing is bad ass! now THROW IT ON THE GROUND!

[tankluda]

yeahhh i know lol.

Wish I could go another inch but the U-bolts in the rear may be on the verge of bending on a bump. Should just cut em.

Plus I finally got all of my cooling system parts(New rad, e-fans, waterpump, thermostat housing)
Looking to install this weekend 1-speed and get it running again finally THEN cut springs in the front.

and more pictures, Im getting rusty these seem not good enough:




Then there's this ghetto bootlid lock because....


SHAZAM!

I signed up because I'm planning on buying that car from the guy in Tucson ;-)

And I signed up on here because I saw your thread on Japanese nostalgic. You can find me on zilvia.net azht.net g35driver.com and a crap load of other car forums, I'm not new to this at all.

Oh lol that makes more sense. Just new to SW is what i meant

Got new LEDs for the tails, much resistance in the ground I'll have to check out later, these should shine bright even with resistance


Replaced Thermostat housing then removed the valve cover



Starting


Now that I think of it, this project will take a while, not sure how long til it'll be near perfect

Another old JDM fan here. Looking forward to see where this goes.

Little Update: Since March I just got a job at toyota and my corona is currently being worked on every saturday unfortunately. Got 2 brand new tires on the mk2s for the rear. I finally got it running decently, need to finish cutting up the springs and replace pretty much all of the suspension. Underbody was a hard grease nightmare

[tankluda]

After the new tires


At work


Forgot to mention that it was running on 2 cylinders, replaced all spark plugs then idled at last, sounded horrible still then I forgot that the last time I filled up was when I first got it. Drained the fuel and here was how it looked

[tankluda]

Biggest step achieved: IT RUNS AND DRIVES NOW. still have to cut the other side's spring then replace all bushings and suspension parts then its cherry on that end

Very nice.


Where did you pick up your LED tail from? And how do you like them?
