Toyota corona Mark 2 1973 conversion/ modification/ upgrade

Hi

The hood is locked via the original lock ( still works perfectly) , although i am installing the hood pins.

Sliding is the main issue, due to semi slick tires ( available in market), unfortunately coil over is not an option, as it is double wishbone system in front. Front suspension with regardless of how hard it is, due to double wish bone system it will always give way and it will have movement ( risky at high speed). Have a look at the pictures, it does not look bad at all, rear 17 stagerds front 15 inch ( normal profile).

That doesn't look too bad
Don't understand why you can't install coilovers in front? Double wishbone suspension is weak bhai.
You surely need semi slicks in both front and rear. And also hard suspension other wise it will float on road.

[nas2005]

you think i havent installed semi slicks ?

double wishbone is weak? it is not 2017 car lol, it is 1974 double wishbone system, it has its own drawbacks but nothing to do with it being weak.

Tell me how can i install coil overs? do you know what double wishbone means?

[nas2005]

where do you want me to install the coil overs?

[Hassan1991]

I'm asking not telling.
Hahaha nae bhai muja nae pta sorry

[Hassan1991]

Between ya bay ma nae lagta jiski ap pic da rha ho LOL

[nas2005]

lag tu gari main jahaz ka engine bhi jata hai, but is it reliable. In Pakistan everyone works via using rule of thumb chopping the kopay and installing proper suspension kopay is a tedious job and yahan loug ek maar do tukray wala hisab, a slight mis calculation will lead to bad alignment for the rest of life, car may not go straight etc etc... This is also hit and trial unfortunately.

[nas2005]

hhah, my bad, i go in to details, ab it has been nearly 2 years now. Wo hit and trial wali himat nahe, i just want this freaking car to finish and bring it on road. It would have been super awesome to install front coil overs, in order to stiffen the car from the front, that would have resolved many issues.

[Hassan1991]

haha sae sae insha ALLAH will finish soon and give you what you need from her
what about brakes upgrades ?? you have a lot of options but still which your preferring ?

[nas2005]

what options do i have? flipping car was pulling on one side upon brake lock, took 2 months to figure out the issue. The rear drums are big but the front is just okay, does the job ( tried and tested), wanted to upgrade it but again many limitations.

what have you got in your mind?

[Hassan1991]

Bhai phir voe baat hit to trail method...but i heard that mazda rx brakes fits vesa it's rwd fit to ko bhi ho jaien gien.....between iska performance brakes parts online bhi available haien

[nas2005]

[Hassan1991]
