Holy cow thats hilarious mate...some go for maximum shine or get it as near new as possible...only a Brit would make one look rusty to go with our wet rainy weather! Not sure about the marker pen but I actually really like the mottled red/brown colour...looks cool. Love the VW logo and Rust-eze?...hilarious

yeah that is funny as hell MJ, i particularly love the made in japan rusted in england bit
mitchelljames - 2013-04-19 07:57
Cheers Si, yeah the pen, im not 100% sure on that either, I can always rust over it
mitchelljames - 2013-04-19 07:57
cheers Az

lol
its absolutely the best thing to do with a box that you'd never get back to mint...go for something unique instead 
mitchelljames - 2013-04-19 15:00
Yeah the box was in quite poor cosmetic shape, i would never rat/rust a box if it was minty or even good.
This beetle pic i found while looking for ideas was my inspiration.

Looks like Crown used speakers made by Matsushita.
MitchellJames, does the left woofer from this picture have little triangle logo, near the right bottom screw hole?
deliverance - 2013-04-20 03:25

Thanks fellas, not sure this would have bean everybody's cup of tea so its nice to get such positive feedback.

prob too late now but the transport keys are easily removed by unclipping the bar at one end & simply sliding the bar out - reassemble by sliding the bar gently in & adding one key at at time in the correct order of course!
simples!

MJ I came across this auction browsing ebay !!
This is a must for you Crown !!
