Quite silent moment in work, so here is few pics of my Corona.
I bought it last winter, almost exactly year ago. It´s RT81 with 1600 cc 12R engine, 4-speed W40 transmission, leaf springs rear and double A-arms front.
I had saw it for sale earlier, but it looked so ugly, that I had no intrests for it. When winter, snow and slippery roads game, the former owner drove it to a tree. Then I saw it for sale again, cheaper and somehow more interesting than before.
Here it is, day after buying

Then little hammering, pulling with tractor etc. it looked like this.

After "hard" work, I took it inside the garage and made few things to get it look more I like.
Little spring cutting in front and spacers between rearaxle and leafs. 7*13" alloys with 175/70 13" tires. Front lip from mkI golf gti.

Then I added frontwing mirrors, friend painted hood and trunklid, I spent few cans of spray to grill (which I had glued together from all founded parts, look first pic), rearlight surroundings etc.
