well as most of you know i purchased a 1975 td wagon off ebay the day before the melbourne cruise
picked it up the monday after and was very happy with what i got
it was gonna be just a quick tidy up and register so i could take my 4x4 off the road and rebuild the motor but ive decided against that cause i cbf rebuilding the 4x4
so i got the engine running in the wagon to have it blow STACKS AND STACKS of smoke being a prexflow i said stuff it not gonna bother and ripped it out
then i dragged the 250 outta the shed and started to remove sump bla to fit corty gear to it to drop into it and thats where things turned SLOW
at this stage im just gonna drop the engine in as its a decent faily stock engine but will do for rego/rwc
and i have a 200xflow that ill rebuild with some gofast bits and build it for some boost
ill stick with the 4 speed single rail as it will only be a weekend cruiser
then its onto the body
im gonna tidy it up and get it sprayed tidy all the engine bay wiring and try to hide most of it
aftermarket heater and aircon to replace all the stock stuff
big stereo incar computer 12.1" touchscreen lcd upfront and i have a 10.4" lcd that may go in the rear
for now things are very slow i can get any parts till everwhere goes back to work so till then its just sitting in the carport awiating parts LOL
ill upload some pics this coming weekend
so pretty much thats it for now

Nice work mate.
With your touch screen, what do you do about glare?
I got a 7" lilliput and its still is hard to see.

ive never suffered from it maby its just mounting location i dunno
in the 4x4 i had a few issues but theres HEAPS of windows and the screen was mounted quite high up
the 4x4 is gonna get a 7" indash in the future mainly for gps while 4x4ing
