1973 Toyota Corona complete build

ok so i got alot done today ill let the pictures do the talking ... i only need to finish bodywork on driver door pass fender , hood and rear end







the front end ... im thinking of painting the grill black ??

flat black.

Im going to give my ride the krylon treatment soon too.

I actually have this handle that u put on the spray cans to help spray it nicer .. yeah I like satin black a little better gives it the oem feel

here are a few shots when i took it to work ( i had to put it together in 3 hrs lol) i also have the tires for the front supras that im going to put on tomorrow

that paint looks like it came out good. Hows it on your end?

It came out good no tiger stripes just need to finish the body work on one fender and door .. idk what imma do about the trunk

quiksteel putty? Patch weld it? Maybe cut the trunk skin off and fab one with some home depot 22g steel.

I bought some home depot 22ga sheet metal to replace the rusted pieces but I have no gas or $$ to buy a tank imma attempt it with innershield wire

should work just take your time in between welds. I was getting mad warp. But whatever, thats what body fillers for right?

Lol depends how much warp hahahaha

finally got my mirrors in



made my toyota and teq decal


i am starting to work on my trunk now


also got these hahaha im not going to put them on till i get some deep dishes




heres an engine pic

Those mirrors are tight.

I think I'm going to to fender mounted myself but If i didn't I would definitely get something like that. Where and how much?

yeah i was deciding on fender mirrors but everyone has them... i got them on www.mooneyeusa.com for 28 each plus shipping

so i had an exhaust leak and decided to get a new manifold gasket the only problem is it was on ebay and across the united states so i decided to make one out of gasket material, also put some seafoam to clean the dirty ass interior of the engine ...



also got new bolts to make sure its secure to the head


ewww

im considering going with a rotary swap.. any opinions ? i can get a 2 rotor for $120

hey nice mirror you got there.. and doing a good job on you corona..

Thanks man

Rotary...interesting choice whenever anyone wants to put one of these in a car. I dont know much about them. The few Ive seen at shows I think look cool, buts thats as far as my knowledge goes on that subject.

Personally I would love to see 18rg or 22rte...or even a Beams.

I dont know....I say go for it, you'll probably be the only one like it in the world, thats always cool.

Well ive always been interested in rotary I'm just not sure if its really reliable with turbo .. As you can tell I don't like to do the same thing as everyone else

ive been very busy and got a chance to work on my car this past weekend i painted the front grill, put some 2 " gauges because my stock ones dont work correctly .. cleaning the interior and installed some cf pieces .... theirs also some more small stuff i did but i cant remember right now lol




i still need to take more pictures

really digging that paint there.

Yea, get that beast into a photoshoot!



....i need to get bigger tires.

Looks great!

Thanks ill have more pics up today sometime lol

as i promised

More! More! More!
