Those wheels will really help out too in the looks department, along with a clean and some minor changes...

see the rear in that last pic GT, well thats a glimpse at where it should be riding 
p.s. can you keep the air suspension bits intact if possible, i would like to keep them as spares.... and maybe anything else of use - dash bits, electronics, steering components etc etc

Yeah the car will look way better when its been pimped with some wheels and all that crap
Whats under the hood? Im guessing maybe a certain 4L Quad Cam 32 Valve V8? Should go good with some mods I reckon 
So whats the long term plan? Wolf in sheeps clothing toy barge? Hope it all goes well for ya!

I'm curious Karl, exactly what ADR mods need to be done to make it legal?
Nice pick up BTW, looks sweet. Can the steering wheel be replaced as well? Looks a bit chipped-up. How much did it cost to get it into Australia?

and quite possibly the last too.... there won't be any more of these coming into the country with the recent change to the rolling 15 year rule (now fixed 1988 rule)
ADR mods depend on the year of the car, and what the car does/doesnt already have. Usually just side intrusion bars, baby bolts, flat drivers wing mirror, retractable rear seatbelts and a couple of other small things.
Steering wheel maybe not so easy to change, it has an air bag.

it's called VIP styling for those that dont know, very far removed from SIK-VL-mods.
I saw that thing (or one very similar) on yahoo auctions and was tempted to buy, but was outside of my price range. Plus im not the biggest fan of red, and 12" wide rims.

wtf, the owner of that should get the grinder out and cut the extra 50cm of wing and tailpipe off. Imagine burning yourself on that bitch every time u go to the boot.
Witzl your crown is nice, love the old mans car look, with more power then a 4 cyl hehe.

VIP body kits just aren't my thing. Plus I see sooo many VL commos that look LIKE that, similar styling.
Please do not put a VIP body kit on that crown...

yep, sony cd/md dble din head unit. FS very soon (pm an offer if you like).
factory interior minus the head unit, including the factory floor mats with "CROWN" embroidery (cleaned up now).
Driving this is cruisy, but BIG. It's by no means nimble but it is comfy as anything! Put your foot down and it sure as hell has the instant torque of a V8, then rev it out past 5000rpm and you still hardly hear the thing!!
I havent driven around with the aftermarket air suspension controller, and by the same token i dont really know how to use the thing yet!!
Air con is nice and cold too

the grp A isnt mine, so there is no choice for me 
Now i need to find what DBA has for discs for this barge, and maybe even what upgrades i can do The discs are warped now so i'll have to do something, might as well upgrade whilst im here 
Ideas anyone? I was thinking of comparing to UZZ31/JZZ30 soarer or JZA80/JZA70 supra (of course jza80 will be bigger, but $$).
More pics will come as work begins
