anyone know if anyone does that near the bay of plenty. i = keen
these were done by McStripes and signs , 170 Lake road Rotorua (07)3492376 They are $40 for the lot and are done the same way as speedstar's
shouldnt be really telling everyone in the world where to get them done in the north island or they might be become the next big craze to go with your "cromies"
-
just a quick question.
What colour have you sprayed your bickies?
-
As many photo's as possible please *drool.
-
crown wagon ftw cos how many of those do you see on the roads
-
If you only want up to 3 quarter inch, i can get a full set done for $40
-
fuel pump turned up.
Also shouted myself a brand new , never used b1600 LSD.
Got it fitted by the green bro's with new bearings, all up $930
-
also, new carter fuel pump is on its way, and a new set of heavy duty oil cooler lines since my old ones have split
-
Little bit of an update:
Had a bit of a spending spree over the last couple of months.
On the list were:
New gauges
Tacho (Van only had speedo and fuel gauge working)
new KYB gas shocks all round
New nolathanes all round
new rear leafs (sent off to get reset)
Sold the old wheels and got some second hand ROH blades
Put 2 new falkens on.
Now the van is at my local garage getting all the little things done to it before i go get a cert, but before that i have to tint it and get a drive shaft loop made up.
-
theres one of these ihere in rotorua , some japanese guy who runs a motel has it.
think from memory he wants $8000 for it and its emaculate.
does your friends one have the seat that opens up so your v.i.p can put his feet through?
-
yeap.. Just had my gfs car broken into outside my house, shes prety upset. Mint as mk1 esky. Im fuken pissed. Took her sounds,tacho and fuckd her boot over.... anyway i know thers lots of esky owners on here so do u guys have a spare bak quarter window?? also any sounds or a tacho i can buy for cheap n give to her will be great....
Ratshit to hear, i take it she has no insurance?, i bought an autogauge tacho off trademe for $100, thought that was a reasonable price
-
hey it dont matter that you wont be putting a rotary in, at least it will still be a mean summer cruiser. dont delay the new paint pics when you are done either
-
cant wait to see the paint. you should keep the bumper on but just shorten the irons that hold it on so that the bumper will sit in closer.
heres a pic of my mates old 929 for a bit of motivation/inspiration
-
man.... makes me just not want to know what else is there aye
-
Was the white AA sticker on the back of a 929?
-
yeah the 90 supercharged crown had the fridge, but not this one, must be because lpg tank is underneath.
Yeah 15+ y/old air shocks do nothing for me
-
ex jap embassy vehicle from japan, MS 135---or MS137, does it have air suspension (fuck i hope not----$1500 a shock, and they stuff out alot), if non air sus then it is a MS135, 137 has air sus and a few other extras. Like electric telescopic tilt steering wheel etc etc, this one still has elec rear seats?
great car though, i have had 3 of these models---(not extended though and not LPG)--- last of the Full Frame chassis Crowns as well, safe as a house in that thing!, the LPG is factory as well i would say--denso set up? if it is they are the best in the world, these models were also sold with the 1UZFE V8, exact same car with the chassis code UZS131, so if you wanted to ditch the 7m and get a 1UZ in it's fairly simple, just the wiring, the mounts and it should drop in, the diff is the same between the two mods as well.
7m's are famous for eating headgaskets, which you prob already know? great engine otherwise, apart from toyota not tourquing the head bolts down adequately--do a google search loads of info on BHG and 7m's.
The fender mirros--- yeah get them back on there!, any jap import with them on like from a wreckers, will fit, just find the bogged holes on the fenders, all the wiring will still be inside the guard, plug in and you are away!
um yeah i saw this for sale last year or the year before, i think it was in tauranga at the time? anyway good luck with it.
this be my 3rd crown ms 65 was my 1st then i had a 90 supercharged one (slips my mind as to what the chassis number is)
the model is the non air suspension one (thank god, as my mate had one and it was a nightmare) will check to see if it is factory, yes has elec rear seats , does not have fridge though.
Yeah i do remember this being up for grabs a while back, as always didnt have the cash at the time, just so happens it came up again, pretty sure its had the head off already, its got 150k on the clock.
Will get some more photo's of the interior and the rest for you to check out.

shit you have some projects on your hands, what model is the red one?, would be good to see that restored
-

I can compete with that.
66 gloria
76 180B
78 120Y
84 bluebird
91 celica
86 SJ413
how many of those can you jump in and drive?, lol. are you the one with the datto on view road?
Mean cruiser. Potential oozing from everywhere on that.I see some distasteful bastard has removed the fender mirrors at some point!
no unfortunatly, would be good to find a set. makes you wonder what some people are thinking when they take off perfectly good guard mirrors and replace them with crappy plastic ones that constantly need to be adjusted
-
yeah that would be the one, it actually says corolla on it.
yeah i think i will stick to one project and one daily
-
no its a 1990, ex embassy vehicle. was owned by corey and jeremy abbots parents (they are in the drag scene)
this is probably the one you have seen getting around
-
lol also chased this old lady down the road who was driving a toyota levin twincam, really really wanted it, but when she said she got offered eight for it i shyed away very quickly, the ol girl must know shes sitting on a gold mine
-
currently 5 in my possesion
86 bongo
80 323
90 crown
94 bluebird
71 firebird 400
yeah theres a guy on trademe called ovipo who has some neat wheels, mite have a think about getting a set, but then with two projects on the go its kind of hard to manage where my cash flow is heading
-
Cant be bothered putting it in users rides as i dont think i will end up doing anything to it.
Dont actually know too much aout the car other than its been factory extended so is nearly a foot longer than the rest,
Its running a 7MGE on lpg so will be nice and cheep to run, with 150,000 on the clock.
Any ways it will be a good all round cruiser
-
i was going to get some pics but image shack is being a bastard, will put up some pics later on 2day with the rims on
