Model: TE GL WAGON
YEAR: 1977
ENG/TRANS: 3.3Ltr 6cyl 3 Sp Auto
BODY COLOUR: Pine-n-Lime Yellow
INT COLOUR: Orchre/Saddle Brown
Just picked up this beauty the other week,
History is its a one owner 248klms on the odo.
refreshed motor and engine bay cleaned and re painted
everything is stock bar the Dash cluster which has the tacho.(set to the old KLMS)
i have been doing the body repairs which to my suprise is minimal and has minor surface rust.found a anti corrosion module in the engine bay(may have saved it from harsh cancer and the interior has little signs of sun fade and only the drivers seat bottom has unstitched(easy fix for me)
so unsure atm to go full resto or tidy up to get in rwc condition and drive as a daily.

Looks great , that's got to be one of the best colours the te's came out in IMO
-
thanks winton.
lucky im trying to keep it all original.As i was thinking of going a blue,but since the engine bay was painted when the motor was out, i stuck to yellow.so its still matching numbers on everything.
The Pine n lime is growing on me. :lol:
-
some other bad pics. i still have to put the rear bumber end on and some chrome mouldings, but it is getting there.

Looking good, dude! Should keep an eye out for some new tail-light lenses, it's pretty much the only thing that lets it down!
-
yeah, there is abit to finish off and a few more newer parts to go on. will get there one day.
my ign/starter problem im trying to tackle atm, the fan turns and wants to fire but its hardly cranking. a fully charged battery and its got no pre dash lights on aswell. its got me,ive got all new fuses in aswell.
-
Thanks for the kind words.
Here are some more updated pics
I had to do some rust repairs on the F RHS & LHS Panels and RHS R door for the rwc.
Hinge pins were done. New tail lights on. Chrome window trims put on.
RHS R bumperette bracket welded back on.
I had issues with the starter motor again so that was fixed and new terminals and leads. new alloy radiator was put in as the old sprung a nice leak.
made up a quick capeted floor.but wont keep it in as I will go a nice black one soon,
