mk2 gt Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Discussion thread here - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/35529-mk2-gts-tt133-corona/ I have had the car since early - mid jan and thought i would chuck up a build thread for you all to check out Bought the car from Turners in Hamilton bone standard deceased estate and thought it would be a good base then ordered some springs to what i thought would be a good height not the best pic i swiftly decided it wasn't to my liking at that height so i proceeded to lower it more and cheers to snoozin for lending me his brights racing wheels to use until mine arrived from japan. i had tried on another couple of style wheels for ideas also (sorry for bad cellphone pics) thought i would paint the inner lights yellow to see how it looked once again the bug bit and i lowered it a touch more ( slowly getting to the right ride height) also added a tractor flap for the lol's which now just sits on my shelf in the garage, i also installed a cd player but hid it in the glove box as i wanted to keep the interior looking as factory as possible my wheels eventually turned up from japan and no time was wasted getting them dipped and painted (colour was chosen/mixed after a few beers and bourbons) Rich/Snoozin invited me to the Millen ranch along with some fellow members and parked up with its sister car in kopu on the way down finally got my ass into gear and started sorting out my yzf r1 carb setup so now the engine bay looks like this have a few minor issues to smooth out with the setup to get it driving properly... if i dont sell it as is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
