Spencer Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I want to meet the man that thought that front was the thing to do lol, and the LD conversion awesome stuff. The adventure to get this sounds rad too A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 This kinda big block? Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cheers guys. I'm not a v8 sorta guy. If anything it would be a 6 but the diesel is so economical. The idea of daily driving a full body wagon and then cruising down to see the family 600km away and back for less than 1/3 of the price of the val.. It's pretty mean. Plus with the turbo back on it will be funny as fuck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Was trying to figure out what was going on with the front of it, then saw the picture with the Pontiac front and my jaw dropped. What a evil looking car. Need photos of coal rolling. Edit: was that a HZ holden grill/indicators/part of nosecone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 who ever the IHC fucktard was who fitted that yucker than a 91 of straight DOT4 front clip is, they deserve 50 dick punches. It looks heaps less more meke with the OG parts. And the LD means it wont suffer from being Chev powered. I fucking love the LD28. You can run them at full noise until the end of time, and they just wont quit. I take it you're already planing your trip down to central for the blossom fest in this beast?

dr.wylde Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Thank you for fitting the original front back on (looks rad as shit!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The front was so crazy. They must have shunted something and not been able to find the grille parts so cut the front 4 inches off the guards and bonnet and grafted some shit on. Was an hz grille and indicators, bumper unknown and headlight bezels were made of solid steel and ??? Lamps. I had great joy in literally tearing it off and leaving at the scrappys Enginewise it's typically sweet, not painfully slow but no speed demon. Once up on the plane it trucks along mint. Sounds awesome like Any other L6 while being spanked. I have a turbo kit lined up but have been trying to carry out this do it once do it right and concentrate on the basics first.. thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocky41 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Mate - this has to be one of the coolest wagons - love it - The LD conversion is right up my alley lol - i hope your speedo is in miles an hour. Keep up the good work - looks like its fallen into the right hands. When you strap the turbo on apparently just run an exhaust temp gauge (forget the temp keep it under) and keep it under 15psi boost or itll snap the crank (must be a diesel think as those cranks spin up huge boosted pressure in an l28 petrol).

kyteler Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Fuck that's cool, Josh. Â So jealous and stoked for you at the same time. Â Good to see you've got yourself something so huge and ridiculous to punt about as a daily. Â When-ever you want to visit to do more rust work .... Â WINK FUCKING WINK. Â ...but seriously, come visit and take me for a leisurely coal burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 good work, looks much more awesomer. Â theres a good chance it was fitted with that front to 'update and modernise' its look back in the day, instead of buying a new big expensive hearse. have seen a couple of hearses with similar mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Mk1 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You're hinge was alot straighter so it would seem! Put the headlight adjusters in but just as sloppy as the ones I made. Plastic life. If I find some online I'll get a set for you too. Xo Have enquired with frankspontiacsparts for the surrounds,some NOS ones on eBay but $250+ freight. I'll see if I can get second handers for ok $. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
