USA New Toyota owner : '74 Corona MarkII

Howdy y'all.

First time Toyota owner here. 1974 Corona MarkII MX13L
I got the car for free from a neighbor after they gave up on getting parts to repair the transmission and carburator in summer of 1999. It has sat in my yard ever since. I started working on it last year, and after much hassle and frustration, it is finally roadworthy, though still needs a lot of TLC.
I've never been much of a Japanese car fan, but I'm really starting to like this ride!!!



I'll post up more pics in the appropriate forum.

I figured that out trying to get the parts to rebuild the transmission. It certainly turns heads at the parts stores. Over 12 months, and bits and pieces from 3 other trannies. Now if I can only find a driver's side tail light.

More pics of it here: Corona owners

Thanks for the welcome.
