sheepers.

First problem was rust! Having taken out the rear window, the horror was revealed, but put right very neatly...

good om you fella, top drawer

That's a lovely restoration, not sure I've even seen one of these before! Interior is definitely an ode to American interiors as you say. Looks mint though

that car is MINT!, i like it

Hi TimCROWN

Your not alone , we've got 2 of the estate version's MS63. We found the same thing as your's but under the front windscreen , it had also gone along the gutter's on both sides , and basically the bottom 6-8 inches all-round.

We did the restoration ourselves , me and my dad , 1 kept original and the other was converted to a pick-up.Both have had engine/box etc. swaps mainly using parts from the later MS112 CROWNs. We've also got 2 Cressida's RX30/MX32 that we're working on as well.

I've posted a link to my album rather than trying to put all the pics on here.

Superb!

The engine looks new. Was it transferred from a newer Toyota ?

Did you get a good price ?

Cheers,
Tim

Here are the original ebay photos, before restoration. I bought the car off a lovely lady, living in the suburbs of Newcastle. Car was her daily driver & garaged. I drove the car back myself, several hundred miles to Surrey. I couldn't wait to get rid of the horrid 70's British wing mirrors (new ones are 1966 Mustang door mirrors). Rear wheels arches were cut & new ones welded in...








and back to the finished car...
