Edited post: I wanted a rt142 corona after many months I found one. -Turned out its abit of a lemon blown headgasket after 2 weeks of owning it. -Timing guides are gone on it too so fixing the timing and head and then hopefully its mint mechanically Anyway I bought the car because I needed a car I could have fun in and enter track day/motorkhanas but still be able to drive it daily and a little bit of a workhorse but at the moment that's not happening so ill just have to daily my ke70 for abit longer.. I still have to clean it up and make it sort of half decent. Also im guessing when you lower the rear of IRS corona's it gives them camber? should I be getting arms to correct it back to 0 camber? So here is some photos anyway 3214832149321503214732146

TL; DR version

wanted a corona,bought corona.
full of issues, fixed issues.
blew rad hose, fixed rad hose.
blew head gasket, its getting fixed now.
has to much camber, i should buy camber arms(nfi if that can be done with ronna rear ends)
here are some pics.

:DD

after you get it fixed, should be a good daily drive, you have basically looked after all the issues, so should be reliable now.

e7 looks mean, great colour.

You can't buy camber arms as such, you can get weld on adjustment kits however or modify the arms you have now. I agree about the E7, the colour looks fantastic.
