    *SOB* It has finally left me.....

    A sad day today as I waved goodbye to my Crown halfcut........ I sold it to a bloke who intends on putting it into a Zephyr ute, for his missus! Now that would be a sweet conversion!! We had a nice little time getting it onto his trailer, as he only was able to bring some 14" rims, so the...

    Another 1uz-fe into Commodore - n00b questions

    Hi all, I must say firstly that this forum has so far provided me with truckloads of useful information on my planned conversion. But in the process, I think i have overwhelmed myself with the amount of information here and am confused. I have a VK Calais sitting here begging for some work...
