Welcome! You got that car for a steal. The rust spot on the rear 1/4 is easily fixed but that hole on the trunk is just bizarre, lol. Maybe there was a ding there. Congrats and thanks for rescuing that puppy!

haha I know, The hole on the trunk looks like the "Wu Tang" symbol!
Im looking for a new trunk lid right now, and im hopefully fixing the hole on the quarter panel next week when my brother brings his welder over.

im pretty sure there is a 74 corona floating around at the damascus u pull it. i ripped the vin tag off and got the original floor mats out of it, could be worth a look. let me know if you want the mats, they r the old baby blue ones

Trunk lid looks fixable to me. :shrug:

You don't know rust until you live in the midwest, lol.

As for the dashpad, if it has a covering you can "pull back", chances are the ACTUAL dashpad is cracked to hell and that's just a crappy covering someone put on it.

Neat car though, keep posting progress pictures!

Well if you look underneath the trunk lid, theres tons of rust that i would have to fix so it might be easier to just find one.
And yeah, im pretty sure its just a cheap dash cover, because the edges are folded and doesnt look that good. lol Oh well, its pretty clean.

Wu-Tang forever! keep it lol.
i wanna come see this thing mark. give me a call i dont work til sunday.

I called you yesterday punk, and you never called me back!
I need to borrow your pressure washer.

your shit is weak eric. not yours mark, your shit is freshhhhhhhhhhhhhh. bring the mother f-----g ruckus.

haha. I called Damascus U-pull it, and they said there was a 75 Corona sedan there. Was that the one that you saw? I dont think anything would fit on mine, but i might go check it out.

ye that is the 1 then. its the same blue as yours so it might be worth a shot. worst case you might be able to pull something cool off it

Someone just posted one in the Ad/Auction finds section. East coast tho...

www.summitracing.com

Guns, paint, compressors, and even instructions on how to paint a car.

Cool, thanks!
I just got a new compressor yesterday, so when im ready ill be buying a paint gun.

When it comes to painting your car, prep-work is the key between a good and shithouse job. Spend lots of time on prepwork and it should come out pretty good.

Also, id recommend going a solid colour if its your first sprayjob - red, white, yellow, orange etc. Benifits of solids is even if you FARK up spraying it [ie, few runs, spray it dry etc] you have ALOT of scope for repairing it. Ie respraying individual panels wont lead to a difference in shade, can cut-and-buff your way to a good finish etc
