Here is what has been done to it so far

Extractors
2.5 Exhaust

Tinted windows

Wow you got it!! Well done! Can you spill the beans on how much it went for??

by **Bomber** » November 16th, 2007, 8:33 am

Got it for $1550 Was a bit more than what i wanted to pay but a Ghia wagon is pretty rare and its a 5.0

by **RAVEN** » November 16th, 2007, 8:50 am

thats a beauty, for that price.

by **Eb Barbie** » November 16th, 2007, 8:52 am

That price is awesum! If it wasnt a wagon I would have been spewing coz I coulda paid an extra 300 bux and got an 8! And a white one! Lol. Good pick up, can't wait to see how it comes along Mark

Just gonna need a daily to get around in when i get around to charging the AU, The AU is still going strong just costs a bit with the Ks i do in it so see how this thing goes being on gas too. God only know ill prob end up charging this aswell get a vortech on this thing

by **Commando** » November 16th, 2007, 1:26 pm

V8 + gas + exhaust = perfect cruiser, although no doubt you'll be tempted to mod it!

by **Kenaz** » November 16th, 2007, 1:43 pm

Nice one man! Can't wait to check it out.

Gonna need a big driveway

by **private9** » November 16th, 2007, 3:36 pm

Nice pickup mate! I actually wanted that thing too!

by **LTDHO** » November 17th, 2007, 9:37 pm

Welcome to the white eseries owners club!

by **Gunns** » November 19th, 2007, 8:29 am

Needs grey lower doors, bumpers, gards and quarters!

by **Commando** » November 19th, 2007, 9:07 am

You mean like a companion wagon for GUNNS to cruise with? Too bad it's a 5.0 and thus superior.

O/T, I saw a VY SS with "GUNNSS" plates yesterday, it was fair poxy.

Yes those Homo E7 heads and HO manifolds are fair superior.

O/T, I saw a VY SS with "GUNNSS" plates yesterday, it was fair poxy.

Pffft, try hards. There is only one GUNNS

by **Bomber** » November 21st, 2007, 7:30 am

Ahh well ill prob opt for GT40Ps and explorer manifold at some point

In relation to the gunns plates my Mate has Gunnys on a silver AU2 XR8 ute.

by **Sunboost** » November 21st, 2007, 8:40 am

That's dangerous thinking

Al - you're a fan of pots right? Surely you wouldn't say no to two extra pots

Well a pint is roughly 500ml right?

4.0... 5.0... 1L difference... therefore roughly 2 pints difference...

This wagon is the pimp of all E-Series wagons!

by **andrew.** » November 22nd, 2007, 4:00 pm

by **Bomber** » November 25th, 2007, 7:55 pm

Well i spent the arvo giving it a good clean up inside outside and under the bonnet heres a couple of pics.

by **private9** » November 25th, 2007, 8:57 pm

Looking good! Worked out what the minor running issue they described in the ad was?

by **Bomber** » November 25th, 2007, 9:17 pm

Nah not yet still runnin through what it is think it could be vacuum related will have a bit more of a look this week ordered a few things to get it roadworthy got more bits to get at the end of the week, havnt jacked it up yet will do that one night this week and start swapping over the steering rack.

by **Bomber** » November 28th, 2007, 4:51 pm

Well ive been working on the wagon today and found the issue with it running rough the harmonic balancer was fooked and found a vacuum leak in the back of the manifold now she runs sweet and auto feels strong. With those issues fixed ive replaced the water filled indicators with some clear ones and have new tail lights for the rear coming as they are cracked. Im gonna be fitting thermo fans soon and looking at the issues underneath and giving it a full service before going in for roady. oh and i pulled that fugly ghia emblem off the bonnet.

by **private9** » November 28th, 2007, 10:12 pm

Glad to hear it ended up being nice and minor - good work mate! Go some EL taillights, will look very nice.

by **Commando** » November 28th, 2007, 10:18 pm

Looking great! Are you considering "whiting out" the numberplate surround?
