My 79 Corona still sits in the garage awaiting a day when I can get to work on it. Weird and cool little cars. Here it is on the day I bought it (my old 60 in the background).

Rear wheel drive, 2100lbs wet. It should be a fun little car when I’m done. The plan is to keep it NA, but do a 22R block with a ported 20R head, a mild LC Engineering cam, and a Weber 32/36 on top. I’d love a pair of sidedraft Mikunis or something but that would be about twice what I paid for the entire car. I’ll put a non-annoying exhaust on it and swap in a 5spd to replace the auto as “phase two”. Apparently AE86 suspension is a direct fit so I’ll find some springs that are a little stiffer (but not too harsh) that lower it maybe 1/2-1”.
Speaking of motorcycles
@HDavis I’m scheduled to go retrieve this thing on Saturday. I’ve never built a bike before. Of course I’m starting with something Japanese though.
