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

With your touch screen, what do you do about glare?
