1978 Toyota Corona Restoration



Attempting to fix up this Corona, Just had it painted, looking for misc body and Interior items, Right front marker lens mounted on fender, left interior A pillar trim, glove box door, ash tray, door seals

These old cars are hard to find parts for, but they have such an amazing look about them, I dont want this one to fall on the side of obscurity. Its a great wagon.

Thanks
Todd

Wow that brings back memories. It looks soo much like the gold one my father owned when I was in high school. His may have been a 73 to 75 model. I’m sure I put more miles on it than he did.

Its been fun to drive, very reliable, been commuting with it for 7 months now. It smells and smokes like an asphalt plant and when I drive it so an engine rebuild is in its winter plans. Plan on road trip with it this summer.

nice wagon. I've got the front marker light. as for the rubber trim I used the rear door rubber seal from an 87 corolla/nova 4dr sedan. I believe I still have them.

my 78 corona was totaled a few months back. pm me.

located in Tucson,az. I had a 4dr sedan and I think the front markers are the same. I'd sell them both for $25 shipped. Don't know if the wagon and sedan doors are the same but I also have the rubber seals front n back that I got from the j/y. would u b interested in it?

below pic is what the side markers look like.


Here's what my sedan look like: b4
