2 Door Corona story, you will love this.	Mon, 08 August 2005 16:08

Ok the 2 door 85 modle Corona that was in the F.S. section a few weeks back I now own. My Story about this car is a bit more than just seing a strange looking corona and getting it. This is not the first one of these I have owned, I had bought one about 8 years ago now and done a hell of a lot to it. Painted it Camelion, gold to red, was the second car in Australia to be painted this colour. looked awsome, showed up the sharp lines heaps, I loved it. I did the usual things with stereo and the likes. Then while I was over seas I got a call from my girlfriend at the time, your car has been side swiped by a truck while I was driving. No need to say why she is not my girlfriend any more. Some of the Newcastle guys would remember me, I also went to one of the Dubbo events in Easter, I think it might have been 1999, but dont quote me, if any one here has any pics from the older ones it might be there, I would love it if some one could get some. Mods I pulled out the 3T-GTE and Grant from Newcastel fitted a 1G-GTE for me, he tore all his hair out doing it as it didnt fit to well but he got there. Thanks mate.(this was befor the truck thing) That was a big difrence to the 3T. Then took it to ATS when I moved to melbourne it got a single T4/3 hybrid turbo built for it, then the fun began when it came to power. So after I spent $$$$$$$$$ on paint, motor, turbo, and everything else I had a car that had a big dent and no one willing to get me new panels as they were imposible to find, then the rust started, blody 80's cars. It was in the pillars so I had no chance of fixing it and was going to be huge dollars to do it right. I scraped it sold the motor and that was the end of it. I drove that car for 8 years and never seen another single one, I moved to Adelaide about a year ago and seen it driving round so it was nedless to say I was a a bit out of control when I seen it, bloody histerical, my mate that was in the car with me didnt get it. I kept my eyes peel for it after that I wanted it back I needed that car no one had one while I drove it and there was one I knew I could get. The next time I seen it I was in my L300 van I done a U turn over a median strip and followed it for about 10ks befor I got to him at a set of lights. Pulled up next to him and asked, "Mate do you want to sell ya car?" "Yeah I do" "Are you serius?" "Yeah Im pulling into that servo folow me" "ok" So there I was looking over a car I loved more than anything and thught I would never see ever again befor I die, and I had the option to buy it. Now I have my rare as hell pride and joy and I promise to every one who reads this or read the F.S. section saying they wanted it. It has gone to the right person. I have plans to go back to the conversion I had in my old on, looking at a 1G-GTE tomorrow. I still have the turbo and dump pipe from the turbo to cat. I want to put pics in here as I progress through so might have a TT142 Corona gallery soon. Thanks for reading. Clinton. PS how do I put up pics in here?
