    She had a tune up today, new leads, fuel filter, condensor, dizzy, carby cleaned and tuned ! Runs almost like a new one !

    I put the sun shade back on today, dont know wether to leave the sun shade on for shannons show ? It was original and had been on the car ever since i took it off last year ! I suppose it adds to its age and era !

    Add another vote for the sunshade, I think it looks awesome. As long as your not doing any highway driving they are a good thing.

    I had one on the White MS53 I briefly owned, half way back from dubbo I stopped and took it off, The fuel economy visably improved and it sat on a higher speed so much easier lol. Around town tho I would have left it on.

    It looks much better with the visor on. I have a venetian for sale that may fit the Corona if you're interested. It was sold to me as a Crown item but it does't fit and I think it's from your model.
