JustHarry Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Fuck yea. Fletch showed me some pics when he was down. Wicked progress from when I saw it in Horners backyard Good to see more crowns being given some love 1 Quote
Spencer Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Hell yeah looking good. Just cut the chassis off at the firewall and fab up a new front end to fit the v12, not much room in these things for much more than a 6 banger really. Quote
Ja1lb8 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 Had all these thoughts. Cause jap import going to get it complied with original running gear and drive it. Then build up a spare chassis with engine and brakes etc 1 Quote
Ja1lb8 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Posted November 11, 2019 Anyone had any experience with refurbishing steel chrome wheels. Talked to old barry at chromers and they used to do plenty of them . Have to machine the centre out, chrome the barrel then reweld. Not willing to touch now cause of the libility welding wheels. Elite wheels in chch are happy enough to weld them but cant do the chroming. Any suggestions welcome Quote
Spencer Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Yeah I had a set done, pulled apart chromed and welded it was like 10 years ago so cannot remember who did it. They came out mint, used them for a few years and sold them to Sam, he told me later that the chrome all peeled off so not really a win there. Keen to see a custom chassis on a Crown as we have talked about it for a million years. All the swaps apart from JZ shit are a big compromise due to the available space. Quote
JustHarry Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 We use bumper replacements at work for chrome They are very capable of doing high quality show chrome. But you pay for what you get . Quote
