^Heres my build thread^

wow this restoration job was just amazing! Cant wait to tackle jobs like this one day

Before i start i wanna thanks to everyone. when i first saw this wagon seating at my friends house for like 8 years. i fell in love cause i wanted a n old school Toyo 4 door daily. I had no idea what it was i never been into Corona's and didnt really know to much about them. The original was just to get it runnign and give it a quick Maaco paint job but that wasn't what fate wanted lol little by little by little it turned into this beast of a project loL.i haved had alot of help from Friends Family and My Car Club OSTC Old School Toyota Car Club of BPT .

here is an Almost done shot with wheels i had the interior reupholstered am still putting it together waiting on some misc parts to get here












and me after a whole day of working it felt like 100 degrees that day

Boricua, Sweet build, love What you've done. Any mods to get the 22re in. I'm planning on an 18rg for mine. They are just a hard find.

May have to go with the 22re.

Saludos desde Colorado Springs.

My drivetrain came out of an 85 Celica GTs i like the the 22re i like the torque it brings it an easy motor to find parts motor dropped right in with minor mods just mixed match the motor mount brackets and i think i slotted one one side. i was able to use the stock driveshaft with no mods since it was manual already we knock the tacks that hold the tranny Xmemebr off and pushed them back and rewelded them . as for the tranny xmember we cut the middle off and welded on to the corona Xmember it was easy nothing to it i can find detail pictures if you want

Check out my thread on my RT79, 1972 Toyota Corona Wagon. I also fell in love with mine and been at it since 09. Haven't pulled the engine until I have a donner.

Again, love the build. What Rims and size are those?

Any pics on the mods will be of great HELP. Gracias.
You can e-mail me at israel.quinones@yahoo.com

What did you do with the Celica GTS?

:tu :
the best
