looks great! I might have to try it myself. My clock is broken anyway...

You could be fully hectic and make the 'brakes' light into a shift light. Assuming its redundant that is.

thanks guys, not sure of the exact model but i think its like a ta22 or something, will have a look at the dash tomorrow and see if i can find out, haha reed that takes effort

[glenpos]

so here is the latest family member, up to 4 now haha, picked it up yesterday for $250, pretty straight lil bit of rust but not too bad, runs and drives well :D

 

has disc front brakes and high back seats as its the latest one,

the interior is quiet good, just missing the dash pad and a few lil ripps in the rear seat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'm thinking of doing it up, but wouldn't mind a few of the bits for my rt80 too...

Looks like you just joined the RT81 club like me :) looks good man!!

[Granny Ke30]

I love that blue, first rt81 I've seen with that colour. What a steal!

[Mark90]

It's so unfair, there's NONE of these in SA and your constantly picking them up over there cheap as haha

[glenpos]

haha its awesome, people i know keep finding them, this one was on my mates works road, and the red one i got was at a job my cousin did haha, i gave it a wash, came up pretty good, lovin it :D

[SimonM]

^ This. So much!

There are like, literally none for sale in SA. :(

I desperately need engine parts for mine still and there are none to be had...

[glenpos]

that sucks

[glenpos]

thought id put some pics up of the blue corona all washed.. took some pics of both cars together :P

 

 

 

 

 

i gave the inside a clean, looks ok apart from the back seat having a few tears, didn't get any pics though haha, not sure what to do with it yet so i wont start a thread for it, if i decide to do something to it i'll do it then. cheers :y:

[Mark90]

Lower, Whitewalls, venetians.. Cruise. ;)

[glenpos]

yeah, i was thinking of painting it black, although i don't mind the blue, but it needs some paint no matter what as its got some rust in need of repairs, and its been patched up a bit in a lighter blue in a few spots, but yeah i was thinking of going black, dumped with a set of fat beanies or something, but i'm also thinking of doing what you said, i want to keep it for a daily and use the green machine on weekend as i don't want to get the miles up in it, but i sort of need a daily that can tow a tandem, will see what happens anyways, i do have a tow bar for one of these, can just imagine a corona towing a vt racecar down the freeway at 50kph haha

[Mark90]

I'd laugh hahaha. I would keep it blue, get some cheap lowering blocks ;)

[glenpos]

yeah, i'll probs just do it up and flog it, might get it club reg'd and cruise around for a while, but i really need cash to get the vt racecar finished...
