JamesHarveyGibbons Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hey there guys! New to the site, but been browsing as a guest for a while now, love the site so far, question though... I've just started a new project, My 1986 Toyota Corona Wagon (CS). It's a 2000cc 4 cyl RWD wagon, picked it up for $600 on trademe a few weeks back, No rust what so ever, will make a project thread soon... Anyways, my question(s) to you guys is.. Do the ke70 (DX) shells from the corolla's fit the Corona wagons as i know they almost look identical in panels, the back is the same (lights and boot) Im just wondering if the panels would fit? Or even the gear box etc, Its just that finding parts for this corona has been a b**** these last 3 or 4 weeks. Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 No panels will swap over bud. Is the car 3T powered? shouldnt be hard to find a gearbox once you know what you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHarveyGibbons Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Nope, I think 3t was a bit earlier ('82 or so) This one says 2S on the head if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 No rust what so ever, BAHAHA p.s. Carina wagon is pretty much the same thing, but harder to find. Only some bits are swappable though. cant swap panels with a corolla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only some bits are swappable though. cant swap panels with a corolla. If you find a Carina wagon you MUST tell me. Also, panels won't suit, Corona body has an extra line pressed in the entire length of the car that the Carina doesn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had a PM on Garage Dori ages ago, about someone telling me about a Carina wagon near Whangerei. Seaside drive or something, been sitting on a lawn for the last however long. Worth trying our luck with a trawl in google street view perhaps?
