as some of you know i damaged the front end of the corona as shown below
i got a panel and the damaged chrome/headlight surrond sent from truenosedan, i recommend him for finding toyota things (free business bump)
heres the finished product all fitted by yours truly
ohh heres a pic of my drop tank to
im getting the bumper re chromed and straitened and the bonnet fully re sprayed, was going to get it painted black for that drifter look so it will be back on the road this weekend
i had to get the front suspension fixed so i got them to lower it while they where at it
If you can get the plastic grille sections the MX23 ones look great...I fluked a set and fitted them to my MX13 last week...Not a complete straight fit...you need to be sure you get the little metal dog leg like fitting from the grille section to the standard mounting point on the shell of the car.
I also found out a bit of normal paint stripper on the head light surrounds will take the the blacking off in a flash and its chrome under the whole thing...some minor pitting etc but looks better I think...next I need to clean and respray the tin ware...
Glad you will be mobile soon..Cheers,
the droptank cost me $1000 that was with a new splitfire in tank fuel sender unit split fire fuel gauge as shown in pic below (one next to steering wheel) and the overflow/wiper bottle next to the power steering
ohh and if i could find a how can i put more elegant front end i would put it on there but theres no chance of finding one in good nic in perth
if you know where one is though?
front end make over
