Nice looking wagon Craig. I hope your family enjoys the coolness of having Dad AND Mum roll in style. 8) 8)


Just sort out some A/c and i bet you never get a chance behind the wheel. :D :D :D

Enjoy.. hope to see it on the road soon.



I am trying to sell to the wife another FB/EK car idea at home now. I got more work though,A/c, auto, pwr steer, pwr windows, cloth trim... My wife's got no respect for coolness. (Maybe thats why she hooked up with me? :shock: ) :lol: :lol:

how does the red 138 go compared to the grey as im considering a conversion like this

The 138 red motor (LC/LJ Torana) has same cubic inches as the 138 grey but the 138 red produced appx 90 hp as opposed to appx 75 hp for the 138 grey.

Machew mutch quieter the nebours prefer the red :lol:

Obviously if the grey was standerd the red would eat it as it is the red is better bottom end and the grey top end all depends what you want

I would prefer to put a grey back in but it doesent seem to have a lot of miles on it and there are other things to do like put a auto back in replace the HR drums with disks and fit up an air con and then hopefully I can do some tidying up on the FB
