'81 Corona Wagon

Etohboy · **Posted:** Sun Sep 16, 2012 8:55 am

Just picked this wagon up 2 weeks ago--$225. She sat for a few years, so I had to pull the gas tank and clean out the fuel lines, pull the carb and a buddy is rebuilding it for me, put on a new starter and replace plugs, wires and dist. cap. I pulled the rear bumper on Friday and am expecting some P-type Supra wheels next week. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

What she looked like when I picked her up...

After removing the bumper...

Nice one man! shouldn't be too hard to tidy the rust. Any plans to change the lump?

Updates on the Corona. I had the carb rebuilt and she's running great! Fixed a few minor things (rear wiper, blower motor, rear De-fogger). Got some supra wheels, not looking for tires! Thanks!

And hey, now that you have removed the bumper, you have yourself a tidy new park bench!

Here's the wheels and tires. I couldn't get them mounted yet because no one has the right lug nuts in town...have to wait till Friday :evil:

Working on the headlights:

Thanks!

Looking good. What tire size did you go with?

Etohboy · **Posted:** Thu Sep 27, 2012 2:01 pm

I've got 215/70 14's on her right now.

Tires look big. Must be a super smooth ride

What else are you going to do to it?

I'm going to put a cheesy radio in it, so I have something to listen to...then just drive it around with a smile on my face!

Etohboy · **Posted:** Fri Oct 12, 2012 8:22 am

Here's the new radio. $25 and it chargers my cell phone too! Stock speakers actually all still work.

Went to the fall brewfest in Missoula this last weekend. Can you tell I have a weakness for good beer?

Nice! Love those wagons! Here's some tail lights I scored off of ebay. They are from a 78, but I like the layout better.

Nice wagon, dude... where did you get that front spoiler?

I have an 81 Corona, and need a lip for it.
