STUNO Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 New Zealand is proving to be the place where they all went to die, and then got fragged. So far 1 found but many hundreds of miles away with a blown head gasket and whole car only. Still looking . tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There were 2 different types of 1984 Corona, Front wheel drive and rear wheel drive - the UK got the front wheel drive version (Carina II) and Australia got the rear wheel drive version. Unfortunately for you, they were completely different body styles so glass from Australia will be for the wrong car tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 My Grandad had one from new. From 1985 until his passing in 2000. As a Wing Commander in the RAF buying something Japanese was, as you'd understand, something he wasn't initially comfortable with. But he loved it, and in turn I love them too. Sadly, all of these are properly ripe underneath now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, he is looting it like a pikey He's planning a [sensible, in my opinion] swap over/upgrade of parts as he finds them.. Not much likelihood of making much off the remaining pile, so just pack away in the outhouse. Shell is barnaclebill.. so likely razorblades. To everyone who is/was following + those who put themselves out to keep eyes peeled..... Many Thanks TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
