I got a wagon!

79 TD in reasonable condition. Little rust in blue/silver, seems most TDs came in that colour!. Only paid $400, comes with a reconditioned radiator and a spare engine if the need arises.

So in the meantime, the sleeper TF with 80% blowby is relegated to shed-minding duties whilst the 2L is built. I will be sourcing a set of BMW 15x6 steelies, and then taking her down to Whiteline for a complete suspension setup.

I have already put the 14" Camira steelies on the wagon, with a huge improvement in ride and handling. With a clean-up and some signage she will become the work vehicle until the business leases its own later this year.

Already I am finding it a little strange to see so much ass hanging behind me, funnily enough she is much easier to park.

Cheers

You can still buy the plastic hinge from Holden (only like $20). You can also buy the petrol flap from holden but make sure you sit down before they tell you the price!!
