      Stints and I checked that wagon out, it's about 5 mins from me. Looks in good nick but would pay to get it up in the air and have a good look. It's at Doonan servo.

        Im not too up to speed with the price of these things but seems cheap?

        Not in a position to buy...wife chose tiles and a new bench top over it...hopefully it doesnt sell soon because I would probably get something like that in 6 months

          Dragged the crown out of the carport, where it's been since christmas, and back in the shed. Decided to do some more wiring on it. It's wiring, and it's mostly hidden so there is fark all show and tell value in it but I did wire the Autometers up so here's a pic.



          Wired up the thermos, relayed the headlights, wired the gauges and rewired the power supply to the car with a proper 60A fuse. Still a couple more things to do but a good chunk done all the same. I reread the entire thread to remind myself how much work I'd done already and that I should pull my finger out and continue. Seemed to work.

          There's a logjam of dirty old toyotas with new engines in my shed atm.

              looks much like the contents of my shed, but the shed is a much much more desireable size.

                        Hmmm, any idea where the intake manifold can be sourced? I have all the bits for a 3.1 litre old style M sitting here on a shelf.

                          Is that still an M series engine (3m,5m,etc) that I assume these had from the factory? And is that a custom rocker cover? Looks the biz.

                            Pretty sure it's just the early M rocker cover all chromed up.

                                i never knew that Noosa was actually part of Toowoomba - the locals like the Crown so much they used it to promote their own facebook site.
