Recommended Posts

So, If you dont already know, I accuried Flawless ms-55 crown.

So First things it needs, Left side tie rod ends sorting out (looking liek they will juts be rebuilt.) And also sort out the Idler arm bushes.

Also the head gasket is poked,

So have taken off all steering, and am now sorting out the head gasket. Should have head off tomorrow hopefully. Stupid gay m series, with its chain drive single over head cam ness........ Means I have to take off all the bull shit front covers, which are a cunt. Like a 3tgte. shit motor

Anyway

The plans, Fix this shit, sort out Panel and paint. Sort out suspention and get it certed for hight, Swap interoirs for my other crown. and cruise the streets

Nothing Major..... haha. man, shit car, needs work, will fix

Good times

Have ordered new tie rod ends and an idleer arm from oz... so waiting on those, then I can get it back on the floor and see what sort of clearnce I have with bump stops and things. Have a few ideas for getting a bit more trvel for the cert, Mainly c notch in the rear, and moddify the front bottom arms to raise the ball joints

Anyway. up dates with out pics is gay, so pics tomorrow

She is pretty stripped now, all bolt on panels are off, as a are the doors, The front guards are current;y being panel beated, and the paint on the shell has been removed.

So yeah, good progress. plus the steering parts have been sorted so it doesnt drive all over the place, and some 25mm spacers have been fitted to full out the guards better.

So yay, old school for the win

Choose to delete the vents themselves and keep the holes for the vent to bolt back onto. they did nothing but cause a draft the rear of the car.

The doors are currently on the move at the panel beaters. Just dropped the hinges and chrome off so they can line them all up correctly and get them straight. Then onto the bonnet and boot and then on to be painted.

then attempt to put it back together which should be amusing. Been so long I've forgotten how too haha
