Yeh that would be a sweet conversion.
im looking into the sleeving atm. I was gonna use the header wrap on the wiring not on the headers. The headers should be alot cooler than normal with the HPC on them anyway so i might see how it goes.

The wagon is coil rear so i might grind the inner arm brackets off and weld up the new ones myself. Now i just gotta get the diff.....

great looking car=love the six cylinder

Thanks pinup65. Simple is sometimes the better option, and u cant get much simpler than a straight 6.
Ive scored a diff too lewey. vn, ss, lsd, 3.08 ratio. Il leave it disk rear end, and il just pull the residual valve out of the master cylinder.
I got the seats back and mounted the rears in.
Il pull it back out to do sumthing with all the alloy trimming round the edges. Ive just started playing with the loom, ive got a few alterations to make with the different dash cluster going in.

Ok the Dash is in...

Hey guys just a quick update.
Keepin myself on the down low tryin to get this thing finished.







Thanks to Lucas for the artwork on the heater box. He wanted to put his mark on the car so im gonna get im to do the inner guards as well.

Man that looks sick with the triples

Can't wait to see it all finished

Cheers

Sure does

I will go out on a credability limb here and say I prefer the look of tripes on a 6 over most V8's

I'd agree. a tarted up V8 is always nice but i like my inlines.

Especially the larger capacity ones. Something about a 265 hemi with triple webbers that is just awesome

cheers

mick

I got triples

what about a nice little small block V8 with quad webers? thats always a good look

Thanks guys, yeh i think a nice side draft looks good on any engine.
Once its all finished im gonna need a girl to ride shotgun. It seems thats far more difficult than building the car.lol

hey all i havent been on here for a while so i hope everyone had a great christmas.
Just thought id show a little more progress and get a few opinions on things.
Ive got the loom finished, now im installing the alarm and central locking,
Ive also just finished the sub box but i need to decide if i should run the subs inverted or not before i get the box covered.





What do u guys think?

definately not...... if it was a ricer i'd say go for it but its a bit too out there for the back of an old wagon

Cheers

Mick

thanks lewey

that wagon looks hot mate. i'm looking at getting a wagon, probably an hq or something. love the colour and the engine looks great. good luck with the rest of the progress.......daz.

Hey guys havent been on here in a while. Had my head down and bum up trying to get my wagon registered for a wedding.
Took time off to get it done and spent the week replacing brand new faulty parts and ordering correct parts after the wrong ones were supplied.

The wedding was on saturday and the car was registered the afternoon before.
A big thank you to My Mum first and foremost. That woman can get anything done. Also for putting up with my frustrated attitude.
Stuart and the team at Autobarn South tweed and Pete and the gang out Alden Automotive for going to my house to fit minor stuff after i whent back to work to get it done in time.

Anyway moving on. Registered doesnt = Finished but heres some of my latest pics.
