Mark II 1972 (Car which never die)

[Marschall]

the one irk that I had with all the mark2 coronas of this shape in Pakistan was that people had them jacked up so high from the rear that it looks like a tonga wagon and becomes really unstable to drive.

this is the correct way it sits

notice how the side lines flow downwards at the rear,

Many ppl used to jack up the rear of there vehicles in the seventies it was an on going trend.....but in PK we went a bit extreme i guess

Right height?

great project (Y)

height looks correct, btw how did the wheel bearing saga end?

there is one more bit about this model of car - its exhaust pipes, it ends at the side edge of the car like a W126 mercedes, the pipe after the muffler is bent in a rough S shape to make the pipe end at the corner edge facing backwards. The desi weird exhausts usually end up like old BMWs - exhaust in the middle.

Rear sagging isn't "normal" if there is such a thing, RWD cars are front heavy not the other way around. This car looks to be in need of shocks and maybe springs. Then again I am no mechanic.

Love your mark II. Its a beauty ma shaa Allah!

[ansarghani]

I couldn't find the GC-LB spec grease, bought Mobil XHP222 as best available substitute and its working really good as haven't experienced any issues after its use.

I have not seen S shaped exhausted in MKIIs... (I am attaching a pic for reference)
I have seen W126 exhausts and have always wondered why they have designed such type of bend..

the car is sitting correctly, notice the door sills are square to the road, the design of the body makes it look drooping back (like the 70s-80s caprice/impala)

That is wrong too - I have seen that S bend pipe in person and also in sales brochures. The bend is to make the car rear end neat and clean. Unlike this picture below when BMWs were BMWs - real driving - not a luxury car.

exhaust box canted sideways, pipes somewhere in the middle.

Could be before 2011..

So you own it since 2011.

[ansarghani]

I have dozens of MKII pics but have not seen the kind of exhaust pipes you are referring to..
I'd appreciate if you could find me a sample pic, so that I can alter my exhaust pipes to the factory specs..

I'll try to find them - they were print brochures in Pakistan, I think I may have a scan or something of it somewhere on my NAS.
