change EVERY hose under the bonnet of that thing!
mine has leaks everywhere in the top of the engine due to heat.
if its auto put a 6 speed in it. that auto to build properly is a $5k exercise.

He got it from the same place in him that wants to see you put a 6 speed in it :mrgreen: Cos he wishes he put one into his touring wagon...

Looking good there Dane - hope it moves as quick as it looks (and that makes sense...)

I reckon that'd be sweet with a manual - I'm a bias towards the old manual box!

Can't wait to see the build.

Sorry mate, Think I got my names wrong - wouldn't be the first time!

That above post was answering your post but refer it to Chubby...

I see where you got it from, I forgot to change the "you" in the first line. Good to see I proof read ALL my posts!
