Fredricks 1971 Corona MarkII

That parts car is the best thing that has happend with this project. All 4 doors on the 71 are junk in one way or another only one one the parts car has any problems but its still far better than the 71. The dash is a awesome plus. I can tell the parts car has far fewer miles it was only 9 years onld when parked it has no play in the steering so the box and colum will get transfered over. plus the tons of little things it can provide. The parts car saddens me if it wasent left under a pine tree for 37 years it would be pretty nice the seats in the rear arnt ripped but the frames are rusty front just popped apart from being wet. But its going to good use it will prolly just be a rusty body laying in the dirt Im gonna let it revert to the earth instead of scrapping it Below are the pics of the rust bucket

Its really rusty has holes in the roof, cowl, the floor board there isint anything left of the trunk both bumpers are smashed the pasanger front fender is good so i have a spare. Also has back glass without the defroster which im gonna switch over front glass had something go threw it at some point glad i wasent in the passanger seat You can see it was repaired after so it was still driving when it happend. Hood is bent prolly from the people opening it after 25 years when they sold it to me Its weird i got it from the same people as the 69 RT52 I have and they lived prolly 500 feet from the people I Bought the 71 from.
