LALA, That Dashboard and steering wheel is from 1974/75 Toyota Corona GT Coupe only which is indeed very
hard to find.

I think you should find a proper celica dashboard or ditch the conversion altogether.
Did the dashboard thing in my corona and I hate it.. I have since found a OEM dash
and will be putting it back.

Sir jee .. After doing some recearch I also found out tht this dashboard does not belong to a celica model and u are very correct tht it came form a corona ....

We r trying to source an orginal one and there is a slight chance that we might find it .. Until then we would use this ...

Also as far as right hand drive conversion is concerned ... I really wanted that but now I m confused and the car has already been converted to RHD ...

Lets see how it turns out to be ... If not good then we can always go back ...

I am saving all the parts etc ...

Soon guys ...

ansarghani (Syed Ansar Ghani) 2011-07-21 03:46:17 +0500 #118

Updates please?
and what about the rare care you have found in Mardan? Any progress?

khanrocks (khanrocks) 2011-07-21 04:40:13 +0500 #119

Sorry was very busy last few weeks could not update ...

Well the car has been converted to RHD and the new Dash has been Installed ...

A mock-up V8 engine has been installed just to adjust all the engine mounts and gear mounts

Break servo has been replaced to the right side and a bigger better servo is installed.

Soon all the suspension would be changed. Once this all is done will pull out the mock-up engine and the car would be sent for Body and Paint work ...
