What should I do with this Cressida?

KinLoud · Post by **KinLoud** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:45 pm

Just couldn't help myself... always wanted one of these (sort of, I guess).
Now I am trying to work out what I might do with this?
NZ new, 3Litre 7MGE, auto, 220,000km.
Dereg

, small dent on boot lid, bit of rust at top of windscreen.
Blown head gasket but runs well otherwise.

I could:
Sell it as is, fix HG and sell it, fix HG and rust and reregister it and sell it,
demo derby it, paddock bash it, turn it into another "Toyspeed Taxi", use it to learn how to drive on 2 wheels, drive it into a river, cut the roof off it, pimp it, burnouts.....
Post your suggestions or offers...

hey

Depending on how much it cost you, i wouldnt think it would be worth while putting anymore time and money into it.
Those cars are cheap at the best of times...

If it were me, id go for a 1uzfe and get it re registered.

they are quite nice cars really

Yup! She'll be right up there with the Cefiro's

Could actually be a fun drift car if you strip a lot of shit out. Not the most ideal, but still would be fun

I always thought they were front, but the engines going NS so its probably RWD.

learn to drive on 2 wheels, looks nice and straight tho, otherwise drift type car if your into it, would still cost abit but could be fun

turn it in to a drifter and pour some descent cash in to it!
thats if you're committed, looks pretty clean though.
