Totally wrong Andy. These things don't run in until at least the golden 300k

Till then, have fun!

And $o it $tart$

Parts collecting

Needs - head gaskets, oil seals and 2 front cvs ( I think I know a bloke to get these from at a good price)
Wants - the nudge bar has to go - yuk wants a nice alloy replacement
( I think I have an old bravo alloy nudge out the back somewhere - make some brackets and maybe look at fitting that up)

Driving lights ( comes with my personal favorite ,earth switched wiring nightmare - never quite understood that idea !)

Rear power outlet, bigger battery , new carpet ($160 online) has vinyl atm

With a few bucks spent on general maintenance and some careful recycling of parts and a few clips from Fuji and I will have a happy river wagon

Minister for fun and finance has approved " as long as the dog smell has gone"

Oh and I got a brand new gregories manual thrown in

Yeah this fellas pretty good

This particular model of minister for fun and finance is quite agreeable to my project spendings unlike previous models which is most likely why they are previous models

Baha I gotta get rid of the dog smell first

Plans are (subject to change of course) :
2 front cv shafts - aftermarket - supplied by ummm me - I have a need to prove these shafts for personal reasons - cost is gunna be hopefully cost price on the shafts depending on the generosity of my boss plus a carton of a specified amber fluid to fit ( so hopefully $200ish )

Fix the rear door by myself - cause I ain't paying $300

Fix the oil leak on the ea

Get the heck out of town with my previously mentioned, very generous, understanding, caring Subaru fan(recently converted ) minister for fun and finance and try the old girl out down the 'bidgee river, weekend after next , camp out for a couple of days

This remember is all to happen AFTER deleting the dog smell which entails alot of bribing the detailer at my workplace lucky he's a good good man who accepts a myriad of currencies

Just about to order a moulded carpet from eBuy throw in a set of mats and find a nice power outlet or two for the rear end

I'm thinking that lot will bring cost over a grand

I had to read this twice just to make sure what you were talking about

Bahaha note to self- proof read posts BEFORE posting on phone
(and never let said minister read this thread)

So I got the wagon
and scored a 14 litre engel for a really good price
so now I want to run some wires to the back , mount a socket , fuse and switch
the fridge is rated at 0.5 - 2.5 amps , question is would 2.5mm 7 core trailer wire be up for the job? ( if Im going to run wires front to back I'd really like some extras for the future)

2.5mm cable is good for roughly 20A so you should be ok
