ruff kunt automotive

so this week ive been getting stuck into this crown. so be prepared for mass load of pics ..

got the old girl into the shed on Monday morning

i decided to see what the problem was with the rear brakes ....

i removed to left rear wheel and remove the brake drum to find all diff oil through out the brakes well there poked then decide to pull the axel to see what i issue was ... well there wasnt much of the wheel bearing left by the time i got there steel through out the houseing :/

so i removed both axels and diff head to to give it a good clean out.

man the lenghts people got through to make shit work this thing has 2 different axels one believed to be a hr 5x114 and another 5x120 hq that has been redrilled both are different splines and some one has changed the diff head to suit.

hq axle

hr axle

after i cleaned all the crap out of the housing i niped into town grabed a wheel bearing

also decovered that the rear window dosent fit..... the rear panel that has been made dose not accomadate for the chrome plus isnot the correct shape

will have to be reshaped and timed back to that line..

oh wheel specs

14x8 5x114 falcons centres have been welded into roh wheel bands then chromed

175/65r14 supercats

ill upload more when i get home from work chuur my beos!

crown is in new hands!

after a long time of envying this car + convincing rb drifter to sell it i finally had enuf funds to buy this fine automobile

shit will be getting down the worked 202 is on the engine stand getting the old clean up then need pull the old 202 out and slap that in its place

the diff seal is leaking so much fluid on the left rear plus now breaks are poked and locked on ... is any one sure what diff it has papers say hq people say torrana can any one help out ?

cheers josh

pic's just because

ive decided to flag it! sorry

righto Taxi dave.. just checking out my options!

from what the dude has told me .... interior is past its usedby date one of the sills is rusty will need a cert plus runs dedicated lpg with no cert so will be a cunt to fill it up... no wof no rego he thinks its worth at least 4.5k as is? your wags went for 6 sooo idk this dude might be dreaming

yeah the red one!

hey boes need some one to look at a few old ms65 crowns for me and take some photos so i can decide to swap my datsun ute for them..

cheers Padgett

beer will be funded

and cholo is a rota kid so his points are not valid in this.

just cause i own a rota dont mean i skid it up at every single fuckin intersection like the otha hot heads in rotarys..... and mk1 golf drivers.

.

Not every but most :L loose cunt

sticker sheet say tire to small for causing it to taper in also car is under 100m in rear..

funny thing is that he went for vtnz wof 2 day the dude loved the wheels but couldnt pass him on them. rear is over 100mm but cross member is a little under and minor other things so not 2 bad.

so yea.

There was a real nice 410, or 411? for sale in Motueka for around $2k a little while ago.

yeah man thats the one im referencing against there a link up top

I reckon that what he's done to that car has seriously done some damage to the resale value. Panel and Paint are always the most expensive parts to tidy up on a car.

I would be offering sub $1000 for a vehicle like that, especially considering there's a much tidier example for 2k that you can reference against.

yeah that was my idea all though i can pannel beat this isnt much to me but i can still uses this 2 low ball the dude so i can spend more $$$ on the car.

very much agreed^^^

although his old man has all the gear to panelbeat/paint so it will be done at litle cost, but still use that to talk price down.

paitning over chrome is just rude!

that may cost a bit to rechrome wouldnt it? another point to help lower price

yeah i dont kno what the fuck he was thinking when he did this but oh well another low balling point.

only thing i can do is tell him what its worth reference the other trademe listings. give a offer if he wants moon beams ill just gap it

another thing is under braking it pulls to the left quite badly. and when deceleration it vibrates

howsit boes been on the back benches for a while now just spying .. BUT.. i found something

ive found a 1968 411 datsun bluebird. an old bloke own it and is willing to sell it to me.

the dude paid 4500 some 15 years so was shocked when i said this one was going for 2k http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/nissan/datsun/auction-480324632.htm

the cars a little ruff around the edges e.g roof and drivers door has a bad dents he has decided to paint over all the chrome and rust has come through paint and major brake work.

some pics

plans would baremetal paint back to standard slam and dslots.

so was just wanting your thoughts on it like price mods im thinking 1000-1500

our local police officers are not liking the "stretch" on the rear and all say its way to low with out even measuring it..

zac this wouldnt happen to be the same car you were saying my motor came out of?

wow... jizzz that is alll

sorry about it.

learn to bog please ta.

keen to hussle more old folks to bring down their v8s so we can dribble all over them....

4s and 6s just aint cuting it

i will try to convince jonny to bring the customline

all the other cars will run away in shame lol

turns out johny is my mates uncle, aparantly his brother has a customline too lives further up the street?

my car will be runing away in shame for sure
