Another '78 Corona

[tankluda]

lol i got em from ebay and they're good. i usually would buy them from like superbrightled or v-led but these were cheaper

My uncle has one of these in pieces, body work was almost complete when he abundant the project.
I keep telling him to finish the paint and i'll swap a motor in it....

Maybe one of these days i'll take it off him.

Keep the updates coming, I could use this for some motivation.

love these old "from the ground up" builds. can't wait to see what the future hols for this beauty!

Damn I guess I haven't updated in a while. Well I got laid off from toyota unfortunately and had to move to a new house and out of my crap apartment.

Jobless right now again, no money so I did what I could for free, Only thing I did was cut the other spring but I messed up the lower ball joint threads bad enough where the castle nut wouldn't thread on past 5 turns so I left it on the a few threads to where it could hold and left it. Forgot about it for a few days then I sat on the fender and BOOM the whole car drops.

This amount of low is a beautiful sight lol. Im just updating because I don't want this to be forgotten like "oh this guy gave up" which I'm absolutely not. Just waiting for the money to keep coming in.

I leave with this picture.

Another fan of older JDM cars, so I'm in to see what you've got in store for it. Seems like a fun build.

This spring i'll dig my uncles corona out from under all the parts in his garage and figure out what to do with it. Wish there was more info or builds to give me ideas but I guess that's part of the fun or uniqueness.

With all this free time, I took apart the front end for some refreshing.





The chassis was pretty wrinkled from whatever previous crash it had and it showed. So I used truck bed liner, such an amazing difference.



This last picture is crap, I have no DSLR anymore so I had to resort to camera phone at night

I love this so much

Do you think a 7m would fit under there?

[milano_red]

Lookin good man!

[R2dmax]

In for more, I LOVE Coronas!

[tankluda]

I love this so much

Do you think a 7m would fit under there?

most likely with the right modifications, but I kinda don't want a 7m. For now the 20r is gonna stay, then if I have money to blow (i.e. lottery, donald trump business ideas) I would throw in a 1j lol

Excited to see where this goes! I love old school Toyotas. Just picked up a 79 Corona wagon myself. Keep up the good work

Got a job about a month ago stocking at walmart so i could get this baby running, then find a better job in the field. Waiting for my tax return then it should be finished and on the road.

Got bored today and flushed out the cooling system, then flared my fenders a bit.
