1g-gte RT142 Project [Now with more pics!] Wed, 22 December 2004 10:24 Go to next message
Hey guys, with some guidance from 7m-brisbane and a few others, the Corona is getting the 1g-gte treatment. Been meaning to take pics for ages... So here they are...

Not much done yet. I am putting in a powersteering rack from a GZ10 soarer this friday (thanks heaps Jag779)!

Here we go...

The chaser donated 1g-gte...

that corona was a CSi, with the 22r-e in it. My other corona has the 2s-c in it...

So that engine won't be up for sale until this car is finished Wink

the ghetto tacho cluster
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/soulfire-z/tachocluster.jpg

got a question about this one, is this the same size as an RA28/RA23 crossmember mount?

free a/c pump for a 22re if anyone wants it! (hanging under the car)

Yeah I did move out.

I had no intention of ever stopping this project until my Dad said that I had to finish the project by XX date. I told him it simply wasn't possible with my knowledge / manpower etc.

He cracked the shits and the corona is probably gone now. So I'm stuck with a 1g-gte (that I'm selling now... thanks Dad) that was perfect for the conversion, and a completely split family again.

Fucking stupid parents.

Sounds Like a sick conversion, I've always dreamed of doing it, if i had the money, I'd buy the 1ggte Rona off ebay... yeah dads suck especially! my dads never had faith in anything I've done, look at Victor Bray and his son Ben. they're always working on engines n cars n stuff together and the support victor gives him is awesome! this isn't about the "Bray" family, but i guess everyone wishes their dad was more or even a just a little bit supportive of their projects. things r gonna be different wen I'm a dad thats for sure!

Hang in there man, keep the 1GGTE Corona dream alive!!
