kruleworld Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Originally built in 2010, This replica is a tribute to my fathers' last car. we had to sell it after he died, so i built this replica in 1/25 scale. Starting with the rare and venerable Corona HT 2000 sedan, i hacked the roof and rear off it and built up the wagon body. i filled and built up the interior as well and painted it in some spare paint i had when i repaired the real car (so identical colour!)

Spottedlaurel Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 A nicely done tribute to your father and his car.
Cool Hand Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 I remember when you built this tribute, the new shoes look great
Erik Smith Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Nice tribute and the new wheels are great. I really like your dad's old car - I am a long roof fan and don't see many old Toyota wagons around the US. I like that generation of Corollas - the boxy, simple design. I have a 93 Camry wagon, ugly but cool at the same time.
