Mika, Good news! I have found you an Air Pump plate. It was off a 1980 Pickup truck with the 20R motor and it is a bit dirty. It was a bit rainy today and the plates don't peel off as easily. I also got you a windshield washer fluid reservoir plate (for a spare). Great! Now I'm advancing! Thank you also of those pictures, I think now I can go and have one made in a local sticker company. I'll be glad to help you some day, just let me know! How much do you know about the Corona line. I know that in 1977, the Corona was also badged as an SR5. This car was a Luxury Edition and had a Tach. Sorry, I actually don't know much. Corona has never been too popular here. (Since the cars are very expensive here in Finland and Corona has been one of the most expensive ones.)

Mika, If you ever get the air cleaner caution plate recreated and made, can you get an extra one for me?
Thank You! Rick

There was a 1981 Corona RT135 sitting there with most of the parts intact, but it did have front end damage. It was beige with beige interior. How much do you know about the Corona line. I know that in 1977, the Corona was also badged as an SR5. This car was a Luxury Edition and had a Tach. Mike...can you shed some light on this? Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with that generation of the Corona. I can ask around though...

Hi all! Once again, thanks for your help! Here are the first versions of the reproduced decals: However, the following decals are missing from my car: This and this. The best solution would be that someone should peel those decals off his car and send them to me. The second best solution is that someone gets me a picture of good quality about those caution plates. The picture needs to be straight from above and taken with as large resolution as possible. As a favor in return, I'll send you back the reproduced version of the decal? Any volunteers? Please email me if you're willing to spend some time helping me. ;D

Keep you fingers crossed that my envelope shows up soon! I'm really sorry, it seems to have disappeared... However, those 22R -decals have already been made. When I just get all the decals ready, I'll mail you for more info.

Looks like brand new! Excellent job! ;D Do you plan on making these labels available for people to buy? Might be a good idea

You are very welcome, Mika! And very, very nice job mounting the engine caution plate and the 20R name plate.
Even though I placed my 22R plate over the existing LC Engineering plate, it still looks pretty good. It brings back the vintage look.
Always let me know if I can help you with your restoration! Even though here in CA the Corona is pretty scarce in the wrecking yards, I'll still keep an eye out for tail lights and license plate lamps.
Rick

Maybe I'll just give all the TORC members a possibility to buy those. I think I must find out how the Paypal works when sellling stuff. Rick, finally I found out what was wrong with your decals: The decal is extremely thin and you must use a very sharp knife to peel the decal off the paper. So, do not bend the paper, just keep it straight and use a knife.
