My names David, dairy farmer from Taranaki and was reccomended this site from Thomas

Here's the car when first picked it up from Auckland

Quite a different colour than most nz new cressidas I have seen its called "new jade"

Got stuck in straight away. manaul conversion was first on the list so easy to do on these took 4 hours.
Next up was suspension

Struts shortend 50mm, TRD short stroke inserts, 10kg/mm springs and keepers, pillow ball camber tops and T3 RCA's

For the rear using chopped falcoon lowering springs and AE86 HSD adjustable height shocks
