	Hi, Here is some pictures of my latest project. This is a 1967 Toyota CROWN MS41S. As you can see this is the sports model with sports instrumentation, 4 speed floor shift sports interior. Twin SU carburetors and Dunlop disk Brakes. I have replaced the original "M" engine with a 4M. I am just waiting on some seals that I have ordered to finish rebuilding the brake booster, then it's ready to hit the road. At the moment I'm leaving the paint work as it is. I will probably paint the car in its original colour when I have a bit more money to spare. Cheers John

	That is insanely cool, I think this is my favourite generation of CROWN. Any pics of the Publica?

	I'm going to say Australia. It's always nice to see these, most ended up as kit cars unfortunately

	You guessed right. I live in Australia. The other car in the pictures is not a Publica, it is actually a 1964 RT20 Toyota (Toyopet) Tiara (Corona). I owned a RT26 Tiara wagon that I sold around 1 year ago. This was a parts car that I have just sold on ebay. Here's some pictures of my old wagon. This thing is rarer than the CROWN S.

	Haha, You'd be suprised. People are divided right down the middle on painting or not painting. And both parties are passionate about their ideas. My daughter refuses to get in the car the way it is (not all bad).

	I'd go for not painting as well. It has that oldschool muscle-car look to it! Patinated ftw.

	This shows why natural patina is so damn awesome! It takes years to produce and should not be lost. Faking it is ok, but its still faking it. This is real.
