Coronas - whats the differences? rt,tt132,133 etc

[Bling]

After some parts for what I think is a TT132 corona,

on trademe there are TT133 and RT133 parts.... can someone let me know what the differences are?

are body parts swappable between models?

cheers

[KwS]

isnt that just the engine codes? T series engine and R series engine? Much like MA6* and GA6*? i.e, crossmember different, but body the same?

[Bling]

so would the numbers just apply to engine capacity then like starlets, KP60,61,62?

TT132
TT133

RT133 etc

xT13X chassis should all be the same, much like xA6x and KP6x etc

What specifically were you needing?

[Bling]

well just got myself a xt13x project. Bonnet and boot are RUSTY, like shut the bonnet and it halves its weight by dropping a truck load of rust on the ground..

so bonnet and boot are first things on the list. its a 1980 model.

thats ignoring the rusty hole in the passenger guard and rust in drivers side C pillar..... I can see potential in the thing..... somewhere

That's an awesome starting point!!!
Have you checked in behind the guards? Up by the A pillar has been known to rust particularly if there's already a rust hole in the guards!! Dunno what it's like on that model though I was lookin' around for a TT142 a while back to dump my 20v in but no go on the funding
Not sure what the T130s were like don't see them round alot though. Good luck on finding parts. Get some pics up

TT13# differences are engine(2T / 3T ) and body type (liftback, sedan, wagon).
they were built before TNZ rust-proofed all shells, therefore are very prone to rust.
TT14# were rust-proofed, panels won't fit but mechanicals interchange.

don't get me too worried Only had a look over it for 20 minutes, owned by a granny all its life then sat outside and used as a daily by a guy, so inside is perfect coutside just needs some lovin



cheers for all the info guys, parts seem to be around a SMALL amount, I just need to snap them up in case I don't see another parts car for a year
