wagon conversion

[Dom-AE71]

if your going to be carting tools around and things like that ur going to be carrying a bit of extra weight, so obviously something with a bit more grunt is going to be more friendly to yourself.

id probably go for the cressida, even the mx62 will have a better interior than a 5 year newer rt142 corona and will also be alot nicer to drive.

conversion will probbaly be easier as well, 7m going onto an M series crossmember, no custom mounts, whereas the 1G u need custom mounts to fit it into the corona.

you could of course get yourself a TT142 (correct me if im wrong?) import crossmemeber for the corona and drop in a 3TGTE which would be a bolt in affair but once again you would probably still have more fun/comfort in the cressida

I love wagons too.

Id say Cressida wagon. Big enough to put stuff into. Enough info on 1JZ swaps, plus you can buy all the parts you need to install it easily....

1jjjjzzzzzzzzzzz..... tempting...

commodore wagon, with 2JZ.

Easy to find, cheap parts, plenty of space

i already have a TT142 corona 3tgte - its a nice 4 door one it was the one thats on autospeed i think.. looks a lil better now though..

wagon isnt for tools, its for my drum kit.. coz i dont wanna trash the tt142

Box Falcon, put JZ in it.

Damnit, did I just say that out loud?

Are you sure you want something newer??? It has 16"s LOL ... I can get you one of those AE92 looking 4WD wagon thingos for 800 bucks unreg, done 270000kms, interior very clean, body clean except for about a metre long scrape on the passenger side quarter panel, which doesn't matter if it's a work horse... Already has a CD player... it's white... in Albury, on the VIC/NSW border.

dang.....bargain!

oh nice!

is it the 2 door or a 4 door?

the corona's dont have heaps of room inside the boot surprisingly, theyre just so awkard, ive slept in the corona, a camry and a daewoo and out of them all the deawoo had the most room haha

seems like the cresida wagons are a bit scarce right now, there were a few for sale not very long ago. shame eh!!!!

i think stepping down from the import corona trim into aussie spec will be highly dismall on a daily basis as well so im still shouting out to go the cressida route.

OR

look in for sale, jesse is selling his crown wagon and its aweome! but dont buy it, its too cheap =( and i want it

hahhaahaha

mines a white GTT tt142 4 door,
dont like 2 doors, kinda looks like a truck ran up the butt of them..

pictures of my tt142 are at http://www.cardomain.com/id/tt142 its nothing fancy...
just love it coz ive never seen another one of them in south australia... just seen a 2 door..

quick question for anyone, anyone at all..

is it worth going 1ggze? coz i can get it cheap.. but i googled it and it doesnt seem to have any more power than my 3t.. and if i go to the effort id want it to go well...

what could be done to make it have a little more go..

GX70G wagon's are great! (with a 1J )

[TheStitt]

Get Jesse's Crown. Its up for sale with a 7MGE in it all you need is to replace that with a GTE or 1J

MS5X crown wagons are hot

[rke_011]

owning that crown wagon would be awesome, but getting it on the road in sa may not be that easy..

and i dont have the money to spend to just and try to get it on the road.

looks great though!

[Dom-AE71]

it shouldnt be too much harder than getting any other modified car on the road should it?

[rke_011]

it would only be harder coz it would have to be legal
cant just register it...

never gotten a modified car legal here.. im guessing it would be costly
