Woody's wagon project
Re: Woody's wagon project
Nice wagon mate. They are worth at least 3 times a sedan price.
Re: Woody's wagon project
Haha all that sun back on the sunny coast getting to your head mate :p dunno about 3 times.
Although there doesn't seem to be as many wagons over this side of the pond!

Re: Woody's wagon project
Bit more tinkering over the weekend....found a few more spots for me to fix up, the list grows!

Then I dummy fitted my crate motor....bit of a performance build on this one
- 2x BXOV-1 carb
- 1x BXOV-2 carb
- Wood manifold (very rare bit of speed gear)
- LS1 cast headers
- Brownes block

Re: Woody's wagon project
Got my trimatic to go behind the grey on a strand today. Will get it freshened up before I give it a paint and fit up.
Still got to get an adapter kit.

Re: Woody's wagon project
Is the shifter on the left? Can't make it out in the pic.
It should be on the right.

Re: Woody's wagon project
Hey trev, the shifter is on the right hand side.
Does it only need to be on the right hand side if you plan on running column shift?
I want to use a lokar floor mount, running the cable and modify it to suit the tri, so I didn't think it would matter too much?

Re: Woody's wagon project
Thanks mate, that's the kit I've read about - seems to be the best way to go.
Haha I don't know how these little 6cyl trimatics would hold up to a 283....

I just presumed it was going to be column, sorry.
