Simon's 1972 Rt80 Corona

[SimonM]

Funny you should mention that.... Hopefully gonna score a set of jellybeans for $100 :D

But also have the stock hubcaps which look pretty tidy

With the bar across the middle? Like this: http://i371.photobucket.com/albums/oo156/pompi_photo/cor1-1.jpg

 

That'd look great

 

That's the one, same as what's on my car:)

go the jelly beans, we have mine which is a bit modernish i guess, marks that is cool granny spec, should make yours the old school hotty one ;)

[SimonM]

Looks good man! I have a spare RT81 grille here if you wanna change yours. It needs a lick of paint and is missing a few clips but should still be sweet ;)

 

How much do you want for it? Also, any chance youve got spare plastic vent thingies that go in the rear pillars? One of mine is cracked

Funny you should say that, I grabbed them off the car at u pull it and have two in my shed :) if I can work out postage you can take it all for the price of postage :)

hey mate my rt80 came out with the rare 8rb 1.9l a more powerful version of the 18r but the 18r is an easy engine to drop in with same mounts and a little more easy to get hold of.

Find a period-correct hot engine for it? :P

I don't like the idea of straying too far from stock with these old classics, I prefer resto jobs, but maybe I can make this one period-correct hotty :D

Jellybeans, lowering blocks, wing mirrors, GT stripes :P

cool beans! :D

If it's easier, I can drop by some time when I'm down south and pick them up/drool on your car :P My girlfriend lives in blackwood so I'm down south of the city fairly often.

yeah would be sweet, mine only really has paint, wheels and a stereo (hole was already there) and i sprayed the interior black

[SimonM]

Just scored those jellybeans :D Gonna go pick them up tomorrow.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that today.
