This is my Toyota Crown MS57 Utility. I found it in a Wreckers Yard. paid $100.00 for it. Bought it home stripped and rebuilt it on a very tight budget. Drives like a dream. It has a 5M 2.8 Ltr Inline Six, with 4m carby and manifold 5 Speed Celica Box, Toyota Crown MS112 rear disc brake diff, two piece Split tail-shaft Front has DBA014U Discs fitted,HQ Calipers The Stud pattern drilled for the Toyota stud pattern. the Discs run the same wheel bearing kit to the HQ, just a different rear seal. The calipers have the same pads and piston kits as the MS 65 Toyota Crown. Unfortunately the Project (that's what it is called) was stolen by two young boys and they wrote it off! Unfortunately I did not have it insured, now I am kicking myself everyday for that decision to leave it toooo long before doing something. I got it back from the Police impound yard and started to repair it. I found a Crown Wagon in Sydney through the Classicrown web site forum. As it needed another Chassis, mine was bent badly. I had it back on the road in less than two months, but it has never been the same! I still have not recieved any sort of payment from the courts for compensation, nor will I ever!
