Toyota Corona Silver Edition......... Tulong???!!!!!

**JAZ333** · March 18th, 2003 12:20 AM

guys, tulong naman pa?!!

my Dad will give his old car (Toyota Corona Silver Edition) sa akin .........

kaso dahil sa luma na yung auto marami dapat ipagawa eto yon:

1. Engine not running - ( dahil na stock yung auto sa garahe, hindi na kasi

nagamit when my Dad got sick, pero all original and kumpleto pa sya)

2. Buo pa naman lahat ng pang-ilalim (that's according to my Dad, pero i

doubt :?: :D) definitely papaayos pa yon....

3. Body - Black na kupas, bakbak en gasgas na pero wala pang bulok

and napansin ko buong-buo ang bagsak ng pinto pagsinara...

4. Tires and Mags - luma na and flat (walang hanging)

5. Interior needs alot of improvement and repairs specifically yung

carpet, sidings, center console etc. pero buong-buo pa upuan....

.......... hehehehe!!! :D imagine nyo na lang yung mga ginagamit na car

sa sinehan (yung mga pinapasabog) harharharhar!!!! :roll: GANON

YON!!!! These were the things na napansin ko dun sa auto coz i'm not that

technichally good sa car eh.

Now, my main concern is hindi ba mahirap maghanap ng parts nito

(Toyota Corona Silver Edition) sa market? i'm planning to have the car

restored sana eh.

I badly need your opinion and advice regarding this matter...... pasensya

na guys ha?!!! Itutuloy ko ba i-restore yung car or what?!!!

Kung tutuloy ko meron ba kayong mare-reffer na shop where in

maipapasok ko yung car para magawa?! tsaka nga pla yung mura lang

ha?!!! (as in mura lang) hehehehe!!! :D

:lol:

Yun lang po........... haba noh?!!

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

The amount of restoration for your can only be limited by one thing, MONEY how much money are you willing to spend? restoring a car is not an easy task, it takes alot of time a patience and a very very deep pocket.

what do you want to be done? restore it like new? or restore it to the point that your going to use it as a daily driver? think about what you really want to be done before you proceed.

from what you're saying, it seems it will be more economical (and iwas-sakit ulo) if you will just buy another second-hand car that is already running!!!

yes, there are still parts for the corona (80's version?) and a lot of replacement parts too!!!

in restoring it, you've got to make a "laundry list" or "punch list" of what needs to be done in the order of priority, for example:

1. engine- compression test, overhaul if needed, engine swap???
2. underchassis - all suspension parts including bushings
3. steering and brake assembly- replace parts if necessary, surplus parts possible if you have somebody knowledgeable tow with you.
4. clutch assembly- pressure plate and lining, release bearings etc...
5. tranny and differential- check kung may ugong. kung mero, try surplus or overhaul sa machine shop

kung okay na the above, then proceed with the exterior and interior:
1. doors - hines, window mechanism,lock, weather strips
2. body- rust, body works like painting etc...
3. interior - sound insulation, carpet, door sidings (surplus exists), seats (suggest you just replace with after market seats).
4. all electricals- headlight, windshield washer, interior and dashboarad lights, etc...
5. tires and wheels

kung okay na the above, then proceed with amenities:
1. aircon
2. sound set-up

dami pwede gawin dyan sa koste mo, dude. question is how much r you willing to spend and saan mo gagamitin. daily driving, rebuild everything na lang, mura ang parts ng corona silver ed, but you should look for a very competent mechanic and a good body/paint shop para di masayang perang gagamitin mo. pero kung gusto performance, mahina ang corona silver ed, kung naka 12R engine yan (standard sa corona silver ed) malamang sooner or later gusto mong magpalit. think about it.:|

**tikb0y** · March 18th, 2003 01:09 PM

12R, for daily driving... okay na yan. IMO, 12R engines are reliable. palitan lang yung tranny. nakakabitin kasi pag 4 speed lang eh. mukha naman kasing di ka nangangarera eh. besides, limited yung budget mo.

kung gusto mo lang na tumakbo ng maayos at luminis ng kaunti yung sasakyan... siguro pwede na yung 50 to 60k. maayos na yun, di na nakakahiya. ganun kasi nagastos ko sa silverEd ko dati eh. pero kung total restoration... hmm, mas maganda na bumili ka na lang ng 2nd hand na mas modelo.

try mo punta sa toyotaclubph.com, marami doon naka-oldskul.

corona SE was my first car. it had a 12t engine. just had i/e/h mods and it ran nicely. bagay na mags diyan are the supra mags 15's ganda pare!!!! visit ka sa www.toyotaclubph.com forums they can probably help you out there.

**JAZ333** · March 18th, 2003 04:07 PM

ei, thanks guys sa advice ha?!!!

iniisip ko kc instead of buying a low budget 2nd hand car na magre-range

ng 100k below, eh pagawa ko na lang yon. Bigay lang eh!!!

lets say na bibili ako ng 80-90k worth na car, then papaayos ko pa lahat

pra maganda. cguro i'd be willing to shell out around 20k-30k. eh di

100k++ na yon.....

pero kung tatanggapin ko yung TOYOTA SE ng Dad ko, libre na auto!!!

kahit siguro gumastos ako ng 50k-80k for all the repairs na na-mention

nyo guys ok lang........ lalabas na 80K+++ lang ang cashout ko(most

probably :lol: ) tsaka sigurado ako na walang bangga yon.

btw, meron na me na-contact for the body repair en body paint, estimate

nya around 30k-40k magagastus nun..... (wala pa engine repair

underchasis and the rest).

anu sa palagay nyo mga Sir?!!! konting tulong pa please?!!! :lol:

Sir Tikboy,

San nyo pinagawa yung Toyota Corona nyo, nasa inyo pa rin ba?!! San

yung shop.

nga pla, gusto ko paggawa yung auto to the extent na hindi

ako kakaba-kaba pag ginamit ko sa express way at yung nice and makinis

sana sya. (in and out) ........... hehehehehe!!! meron ba non repair na

mura?! :?:

**JAZ333** · March 18th, 2003 04:09 PM

Thanks in advance ulit guys?!! 8):wink::D

**tikb0y** · March 18th, 2003 04:22 PM

pinagawa ko lang sa sa talyer ng tito ko eh. kaya nakamura. nakakalibre sa labor. hehehehe....

nga pala DX yung sa akin. kaso hindi na ako ang humahawak nun, kapatid ko na, kaya napabayaan nya na eh. sayang nga eh. gusto ko sana pagandahin pa.

ang balak ko palit lahat ng pinto, hood and fender para iwas masilya, yung suspension lahat papalitan ko na (yan kasi ang laging sakit ng ulo ko nuon eh and para mawala na rin yung mga kalampag), papare-wire ko ulit electricals para sure na ako, aside from that, ala na ko maisip pagawa na basics eh. actually ang pinakasakit ng mga lumang kotse eh yung pang-ilalim kaya concentrate on that IMO. duduguin ka don :cry:

sa makina, hindi pa ako pinapahiya ng 12R. malakas ang hatak, bitin nga lang sa expressway kasi 4 speed lang. ang nakakatakot lang sa oto eh yung suspension plus brakes pag long drive. kaya pag naayos yun (preferably dun ka magconcentrate), okay na yan.

**tikb0y** · March 18th, 2003 04:28 PM

oo nga pala, have you tried posting at the toyota club forum?

i noticed that many pips there are having/planning their old skul rides restored. you can even join the old schoolers of that club. :roll:

gud luck!
