kirk28 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 So I bought a 120 crown wagon- always wanted one - discussion here I live in Australia and the plan is to do this up and use for when I'm home... it's parked at my parents garage next to this: so heres the latest Nippon oddball It's a bit scruffy so will have to get rust done and repainted - am thinking of doing a two tone theme that was available on the higher spec models (this one is a Super Deluxe) Also the !GEU that we call know can't pull a sailor off his sister needs to go, whats the easiest cheaper re-power option here? I just want it as a cruiser -- reliable and easy to register if I ever brought it over here to Aus. 2J? Also not a huge fan of the poly bumpers ... long shot anyone know of one of these sitting around rotting? would like to do the dual round headlight conversion PLUS the chrome bumpers ala: If I can't source from Yahoo JPN or in NZ, I might whack on a MS123 front (plenty here in Aus) also after a set of the S120 Crown Alloys: any parts for a GS120; LS120 MS120 etc i'm interested please let me know... cheers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Ok while trawling through the google.co.jp image gallery I came across this - something i've thought about- woodgrain finishing the plastic on the dash - (my deluxe version has black plastic over the very square dash - suprised Toyota didn't make the steering square as well), The more upscale crowns have colour coded panels instead but I think this would look mint...and a Jap Crown owner has allready done it;; Here's what it looks like - pretty good I reckon Have bought a woodgrain tool off TM,,,, here's a Vid of how to do it https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=woodgrain+on+plastic+tool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk28 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Have decided to go with a 1GGZE as it will be a piece of cake to install...Not looking for massive power etc, but nicer to cruise in - also has that '80's retro feel. Thing is where to find one, there is one on ebay atm but in Oz,. who knows how much to get back to NZ, anyone know where I can get a 1GGZE from? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Toyota-1G-GZE-engine-from-Crown-with-automatic-transmission-/331583399081?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item4d33e924a9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
