Thanks, no it's not stock although I want to keep it looking that way. It's got a red motor, HR front end and Holden 4 speed. The inside has been retrimmed like original. I have just bought a triple strom down draught manifold and I am going to try and machine some aluminium finned air filter housings (maybe)

Hi Rob,
very neat and tidy looking wagon........ love to see them like this - I know you mention it has "modern" running gear - the sad thing is that many who will look over your car just won't know........ and that little "distractor" - BLU 138........

love the pic in front of the house - they compliment each other so well.......

frats,
Rosco

Rob,

Love the wagon, looks fantastic.

If it were mine I lower it about 4 inches but never the less it looks great.

Wagons must be the flavour of the month. I keep looking at my old parts wagon and thinking how good a chopped nomad style wagon would look.
