This thread is a combination of two threads (thanks mods ) that were merged and moved to this section of the forum.
I have been posting the little things I’m doing to the car, and the bigger ones because some might be interested in the mundane, and it’s a good way for me to use the thread as a diary of what I’ve done each day and organise my work a bit for my own benefit.
I hope you enjoy it and it helps you with your Crewman.

Edit on the edit:
What’s a Cross 8? Well this shows one pretty well and what it’s capable of.
Looking to buy another Crewman. I love my Crewman. It's perfect for what we do.
I've done cool things to mine, spotless and it looks great, but it's a 6.
Who has a Cross 8 Adventura or Crewman? Do you like it? @gungazza was it you that has one?
I've found some interesting things I never knew.
The VYII is badged as VZ.
They have a VY Adventura front. (Haven't found what date the VZ front bonnet and lights carried over on the Cross 8 etc.)
I'm happy to trade down from an '07 to an '05. When it comes to it, all these years will need similar work now and I'm proficient enough to do it.
Hoping to swap wheels, my black suede roof and trims, Apple CarPlay system over.
My V6 eats fuel easy enough lugging the weight of the Crewman around at times so fuel will probably come out the similar not having to work the thing as much with an 8.
This will be a long term car. Engine rebuild later type stuff.
Thoughts on the GenIII?
Also looking for an '07 SS VZ Crewman with the 6.0ltr.
In a couple of years, I want to upgrade to a VE 6speed gear box and do a conversion if I find an auto, and am about to dive into the manuals to see what parts are different where the transfer case bolts to on a Cross 8 v an SS. I know it will bolt up to the motor and mount fine. Yes it's doable with a digital conversion loom adapter from the US.
Edit: Some honest thoughts about the Adventra.
