gone up a size to 14's spigot rings on order, but they only centralise the wheel for fitting, and i'm not getting into that arguement on here. wheels from a twingo. just a slightly lower et, tyres are 185 65 14. Hillman IMP is lug-centric... Never bothered me m8 OVIMOR

Are you going up size/rolling dia with that tyre wheel combo? Or wider/lower...
Do the steels match spigot bore/what are they off?
Values££? I think CarinaII must be at the 'bottom of the curve/Oval fodder'...

I have a tin tag on my bunch (spare set). Likely related to VIN... Dealer look-up.

Noicee...
I replaced my dampers, as totally shot, but springs not changed.
Resisting 'form', by not going Weber... I'm going to try and retune the Aisin after replacing all the miles of rubber vac hose...

Love this. There was an executive model lived round the corner from us until it rotted away. It had a different grille with twin little rectangular foglights in it... might have been a JDM thing or, like a GXL model or something. Looked excellent My 2.0 Auto carbbie, on 16" Nissan wheels. GLX with grille lamps. Lovely cruiser, lock-up 4th o/d. IIRC the bottom balljoint is a 'press fit' into the arm and, after having one done for MOT, I got a creak over harsh kerb edges.. Tickle around the rim with a welder fixed it OVIMOR

AFAIK the spoiler is factory. I've no idea how Toyota 'spec' of different models gets rubber chin lip (rocky horse poo for Corolla lads!) or no lip/boot spoiler or no spoiler. Mine has chin and red coach line/no boot spoiler I like the lines of saloon, rather than hatch.... however, I don't shift washing machines/fridges lol OVIMOR

The 'red box' in the engine compartment is [afaik] dealer alarm? Mine does nothing and I have no 'plip lock' which I believe is part of this.... Do you have that Plip working/alarm operational. Seems two red LED in the top right of the dash should blink & a kill switch is fitted in the bonnet pull recess?? I'm replacing all the carb vac hoses with silicone and giving the carb a tune-up... Tickover is a bit erratic and the car occasionaly stumbles on pickup, like after a stop at lights. Mahoosive NV for boot spoiler {not spoiling it at all} Full report on works in progress pleez *fast fact* I see you replaced the fan speed resistor on your Honda = I bought one and cut it down to fit the Toyota housing to sort mine! Reason? .. Honda/Rover £6 or Toyota £40 OVIMOR

When I put inertia reel belts in my '63 I had no welding kit so, after picking the location on the centre tunnel & wheelarch (below the window), I drilled for the shouldered bolt [so the rear belt eye can rotate] and fixed stalk... using the galvie reinforcing plates which I found in various car breakers. Welding would have been 'correct' but, well, you make your best shot! A head on, with a Cortina Taxi, proved it all a worthwhile [and effective] mod Love your home & all your gear, m8 OVIMOR

Nice to one thats original and not chavved up .Makes it much more unique . Also there is something i like about the lesser models being uncluttered and simpler . .... I looked at the trailer piccie and just thought "Mk1 Cortina"... meaning clean, simple and just simply painted shell. Less IS More OVIMOR
