oops, sorry, didn't realise it was a thread revival...

I knew about the Honda, and Matt's asking about Pascoe Vale, and I thought maybe his ebay finger got a bit too itchy

hee hee,,, yeah thanks again Sean, Pauly (our car trailer hauler) just called & said he would see me tomorow arv,,, he`s on a mission bangin the miles in

anyways,,, we`ll get it running & rip the runnin-gear out of it & try to see what sort of Sh!tBox we can shove it all into

i did see an old austin A40 farina on ebay somewhere in the middle of NSW

still thinkin about Deano`s !300 Nomad tho, just not sure it will have enough room for the super huge honda gearbox/diff assy

anyways, well sort something

so,,, thanks heaps & heaps again Sean,,, pauly said your wife was happy to see it go so at least that`s something hey?

cheers mate & if i`m down that way i`ll bring some presents, & if you`re ever up this way i`ll give you some drinkahols a decent drive in the thing

Hopefully the drive before the drinks aye Matt

Well . what a cool car???!!!

It`s a 4x4 Honda civic Wagon (or shuttle as their correct name) & it`s actualy not a bad thing,,, looks fair to middly, starts & runs ok,,, has a water leaki some where which i`ll get to in the next day or so , & a slight tune issue which is probably dirty carbs or a blocked fuel filter or something similar

BUt!!!... it`s got a nice sunroof, & air-con!!!,,, how`s that??? Air conditioning & it actually works!!!

i`m stoked

Now what-ever early model morris/austin car that this running gear ends up in will have air-con








oh & a super-charger
