ms123crownpimpmobile Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 bought it off an older guy.he was manager of the queen st farmers here in auckland during the 80s and this was his company car they said he could pick whatever he wanted and he chose this crown.has been well loved and well looked after by him and he was glad that someone like me would take good care of it.im the second owner which is sweet ive never had a car in such mint condition.it was sitting in his garage for a few years he didnt wanna sell it but his mrs said it had 2 go.flew thru its first warrant the day i bought it.so stoked.was gonna just keep it standy but im thinkng deep dish boso style would be 'gang 'and manual conversion too fuck auto.my previous ride was a jzz30 soarer and before that i had a few vl commies,so this is my first big 80's cruiser any info/tips/whatevs for the crown will be appreciated. i want to lower it,i see a few difernt set ups on cressida's and im guesing they share the same platform,so what do you guys reckon is the best set up for this? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms123crownpimpmobile Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 yeah so actually they arent the same as the cressida,have wikipedia'd the crown so now i know a bit more about this pimp beast there was oil leaking out the side of thr rocker gasket,pulled it off and degreased the shit out of it ,and then gave it a polish up looks alrite.will put up pics soonish.oh and went pickapartn got some falcoon springs for the front,when i get time will pull out the rear springs and walk round pickapart looking for similar ones.$10 a spring pretty stoked good for chop chop. yeah and pulled out the awesome factory 4 inch 6.3watt speakers ready for some bulky sounds will put up some pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ms123crownpimpmobile Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 ok so pulled front left spring out on the left standard crown on the right is a 88? ford falcon front spring anyway put the coon spring in and it stayed the same height I was like wtf even though it is shorter im guessing its much stiffer so doesn't sag like a crown spring does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
