yea i tried to fit those original cornerlights and i cutted the original parkinglight out because those doublelights has it already and it looks better in that way.

And some kind of mask must build.

too much work because the whole car is still in progress and its hard to found parts

Yeah, I also planned to cut the cornerlights but then some "cheap" set of the right model came up on Auctions Yahoo and I could not resist to buy that.
Well, it turned out pretty expensive anyway... But at least I got it original now.

Parts are quite difficult to find, especially if you really need something. So currently I'm just scavenging parts on Marktplaats (Dutch ebay) and such...

Progress report on my recently sold AA63 Carina (See Page 20) from new owner

hi there just thought i'd show off my lil rona

she has a 1ggte conversion hks high mount manifold and a t04e internal gated turbo. Running the spura five speed gearbox and ugly exhaust with a nice lil dumped muffler.

I'm running after market management in the form of a microtech with a modified dizzy with a 6g74 dizzy cap and rotor.

currently running horrible rip off volk thre spoke but have some genuine watanabes on the way with a grey/purple pearl centre.

Interiorwise i've got a nardi deep dish corn wheel white trd knob pioneer stereo and speakers. recaro seats being installed this weekend already running a sparco harness.

I'm lucky enough to have the irs rear end but the factory lsd is starting to favour one leg :-P

currently run a best of a 13.25 at 109mph slicks took a second out of my et and 20 miles outs of my top end speed. ruined my diff ratio apparently. So back to street tyres and a fresh tune and an open exhaust i'll be ready for J20 (Jamboree) in August to run in the street compact class in the bracket section.

Hopefully in the twelves. fingers crossed.

future plans finally get the suspension sorted for an all round package. change to a larger externally gated turbo and make full use of my manifold. tidy up the body thats gotta happen soon. don't think andra like rust lol. And a full repray with full steel flared guards.

So enjoy the limited pics and if you like them i'll load some more up

peace out

probably should have mentions its a 1986 toyota corona avante was a 2.4.

If any one in aus can help me out with an sr front lip i dunno first born child or something lol

[banpei]

Wow! That's a nice conversion!
And that 6 cylinder still fits under the bonnet of the Corona? Then it must surely fit in the Carina as well!

i had some fun while 'our boys' where playing the semifinal football thingie...

I made the best out of the empty roads! ;D

Drove around, made some shots, and had some fun. The car looks very sorry for itself in some pics, but apart from the looks, I still like this car!
I found out yesterday I need more power though

Really happy how the car drives now, after the coilover installation at Area52 on sunday! On deep dips I hit the bumpstops, so some shorter shocks are needed ;D

oh and, all was done on private roads off course...

Turns out they won, so I can go out again on Sunday
