I thought i'd throw up a photo of my new love i've been toying with for a while..

 

Used to be on here quite a lot, I left RC for about a year and something due to getting sick of ke70's and internet.

 

My ke10 was being a stubborn shit and i moved it to my friends house 85k's away for a while.

 

Built a ca18det ke30 only to get bored, Built a 3t ke70 for a mate and lately a retardedly stupidly spastic 3sgte build is taking up my time for the Celica

 

 

Found it on Gumtree, After a phone call drove 300k's to get it a few days later and been smitten ever since!

1973 MS65 Crown, HM Motors rebuilt 4m and w40

 

Here's how it currently sits!

 

 

New windscreen, New exhaust, Nolathaned front end, Compressed springs, Hilux gas shocks, Twin spinner diff

15x8 -25 sunraysias with 195/50's, Untouched guards

All bent trim removed from the front, Debadged and blacked out front

All dents pulled out and polished

 

All the car needs now is rear bar straightened and rear seat belts

 

Currently have 1jzge at a mates place with a sc14 on the side for when it gets boring!

 

 

 

Will be back on a bit more now as i'll be acquiring a new corolla for a build soon to replace my mx73 as daily.

 

Cheers!

How many cars do you have? Lol.... Not that I can really talk.

Hey you want a w50 for this? Looks like my k-w bell etc is sold so I'm going to have a box that's no used to me.

Uh, 9? 10? Haha plus a couple of parts Celicas

 

Possibly on the box, I think the gearbox could be average in this ill have to get it out and have a look

Welcome back. Got the front half of an RA60 tailshaft you wanna sell?

I don't on me.. One of my parts cars is ra60 but it's auto. Imagine you need manual?

Yeah, don't wanna shell out for a custom shaft being the tight ass I am, so need the RA front and T rear. Surprisingly hard to come across.

I absolutely love these crowns - yours looks awesome.

Makes me wish I didn't pass one up when I had the chance to grab it.

SC14 :rock: , have one on my GZE now. Considering twin charging.

Actually i have a second ra60.. I pulled the w57 out for my 3sgte, I'll check next time i'm there if there's a tailshaft

 

Cheers Ben, It was a pretty good score but also took a still requires a bit of work.. Not used to owning something so heavy after many corolla's etc haha

 

 

Not sure the sc14 is the best choice but it was free.. May not use that motor at all yet. The idea of a carb'd ls1 keeps coming into my head as well

holy crap that crown looks sick, need to see more pics of it haha!!

that crown looks really really cool.

Way worse than me then.

Considering pending deals you can have the w50 for a pineapple.

Cheers fellas! I'll find some more photos if I can, It's hibernating over winter currently

 

Next up is to fit my sunshade (needs to be sandblasted and coated) and whitewalls with bullet caps

 

 

I'll take you up on that offer Si!

I've sold a few cars lately so I'm getting better haha, Getting a datsun 1000 panelvan soon, just waiting for the guy to cut the side out of his shed so I can get it out hahah

Any of you mainlanders have these in wreckers? I need fuel door badge/ handle.. Mines the only s1 I've seen down here so parts aren't easy haha

theres one at centre rd wreckers in melbourne atm. when i was there a few weeks back it had a really good interior and stuff. only bits missing were pretty much the front hubs.
