MY Pine-n-Lime TE WAGON Project
« on: November 30, 2014, 06:43:42 PM »
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.
