G'day OS this thread is already complete on another forum, but i'll migrate it here to share with you all. so bare with Me, DISCUSSION THREAD HERE I bought this unfinished project in April 2017, I'll let the thread tell the story with a date on each post, the posts here may have references to days/dates that are no longer relevant, but i'll try to edit as i go. I had the goal to get it back on the road as soon as possible and on club permit (limited use registration for cars over 25yrs old, cost comparison $150 ish per year compared to full registration of $800ish) pity the tyres on the Bathurst globe wheels are so old.. heaps of tread, but heaps of age cracks also. i had only pretty much picked it up with the help of BGDAV(just joined OS today), and dropped it off at Daves till Saturday when it can go up on the hoist and see all the issues i didn't see when it was in the owners shed. it runs, it moves.. that's the extent known so far. currently a 1.6 and 5 speed as far as i know... probably will stay, its had a head gasket change, new alloy radiator and heater core and some other new parts and "rust bubble" repairs.. the paint is pretty crap, good excuse to paint something. has that "patina" everyone loves lately (haters gunna hate) i suspect finding wide 13" tyres might be difficult.. (wide and Cheap i mean) plans are to make it road worthy asap.. club rego and drive it places. (including Calder Park drag strip) has low kms.. doesn't mean much to me.. this wagon has been sitting in a shed for 2yrs doing nothing much. (cars that have sat for a long time usually have issues like stale fuel, gummed up brakes etc) anyway.. that's where it's at currently.. start up video.. bit of a glimpse inside.. needs a console surround.. etc
