Camel Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hey boes, so for those of you that dont know I bought my old wagon back off Dan. Ive got a lot of things that I want to do to it but for the moment I just want to get it ready for summer cruising as me n spencer are planning on lots of road tripping in crown wagon convoy configuration. Anyway so short term plans are Paint the roof white paint the tailgate green again make some wide steels up for it tidy up a few bits on the interior possibly remove the tints change radiator and fan setup sounds fix rear main leak fix diff leak make brakes a bit better change to column shift more wof n reg So this is what it looks like sitting in my driveway. and this is what it looked like before I sold it to Dan... Those are the steels I made for the blue wagon (spencers) on it, I think im guna make another set and get them powdercoated silver or something, not sure yet. The exhaust hangs down quite badly, was obviously a quick job from the conversion, so im guna make a mandrel bent system from the downpipe back (for the moment, im keen to make extractors for it later down the track) with a flowmaster copy muffler in front of the diff. Not sure if i should go 2 or 2.5 inch, 2 would be easier but 2.5 would probably be better for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 so pretty much just been rolling it since I got it. I got sick of the diff leak so pulled the diff out and put all new bearings and seals in and painted everything up all perty, I also replaced the inner tie rods as they were getting pretty sloppy! I was driving it out to the shed yesterday arvo so I could do some work on it and decided id give it a bit of a fang and it didnt go so well haha So thats it off the road till I get a new driveshaft made haha. My column shift shit arrived from australia so I put that in today, fits sweet but will need custom linkage to make it work with the trans. I also pulled the tints off and all the roof trim, racks etc so I can get it ready to paint. My wheels turn up from the states on the 14th so im hoping I can get them before xmas, fingers crossed. I ended up going with 15x8, 0 offset steels with beauty rings and hubcaps, are exactly like the pic below. Havnt decided what colour im guna paint them yet was thinking a pale yellow? what you guys think?? anyway ill throw some more pics up when im out the shed next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camel Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 got wheels on today, the primer actually looks alright! man its so much higher with these wheels, the tyres are 195/55/15s, sorta keen to go lower profile but am also keen for large rolling diameter for better ratios etc... anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
