Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see an early Corona getting some love and attention. It means in the future there will be some really nice examples of the sort of cars that were an early glimpse into how Japan was going to entirely dominate the global car industry. It makes me wish I had a decent workshop so I could get some of my long-term projects under way Please post some pics when the final paint goes on. Regards, Ian. Thanks for the commens :-) I'll keep this thread updated as work progresses.

It's starting to look good now I bet you can't wait to get the top coats of paint on. Well done on getting the correct shade. I'm sure if you had done it in the first colour you had made that no-one would have really known any difference as there are very few RT40s left, let alone red ones to compare it against. The important thing is that you now know it's the right colour !!! This is going to be a fine car when finished, I'm sure.
