Hi all, I wanted to share a project that i have been working on for the past few weeks after coming to the last Auckland old school meet i was convinced i needed a second car to exercise my mechanical ideas on. It started as a 1987 Toyota Corona which was listed on Trademe, With its 2.0L Fuel injected engine and Front wheel/Automatic characteristics i figured i could get it cheap and make it an awesome weekend hack. After test driving it, and finding out that the thing drove great (No spluttering, jerking or grinding) i picked it up for $600, It needed some minor rust repair and a new battery. When i got it back to the garage i changed the plugs, oil, oil filter, checked the filter and picked up a second hand battery, After that it ran great! Some JB Weld and some spare aluminium i had covered up the rust nice, at the same time i got the windsheild replaced. We went to pick-a-part mangere and found some seats out of a volvo, we ripped all the carpet out, took out the rear seats/belts and mounted the new seats. I nabbed some cheap steelies which has been widened and got them redrilled by the good blokes at Arrow Wheels, I'm going to have to get some adaptors to fit on the fronts to clear the brakes, but the backs look great. Also we rolled the guards with a baseball bat, turned out pretty good. I'm going to be doing plenty more work on it, so i will keep this updated. And for the record, i know this may not come under 'old school' age, but i reckon it holds a lot of the old school spirit and the front still has that older toyota look, And this thing was built/assembled in Thames! Right in our backyard and that has to count for something. Shout out to: Mk2Marty and Benzover for the many many days of help Some more photodumping
