Has been a daily driver for the last 8 years , enjoyed every minute of it driving around with the arm resting on the window
getting comments and waves from the old folk who used to own them
Not happy about taking it of the road but got to a point where l had too, Repairs needed doing and lm getting to old to be crawling around under cars.
collected a lot of the spares and had chrome work done while l was driving
mods
already has hr front end with torana disc , 186 with the crash box and a hr rear end
looking at 186 maybe aussie four speed (l have a couple ) nice set of dragways old school
original paint was india ivory bonnet, guards roof . inserts ,windows were black

That's a good find really. As you say, could have been a lot worse in years to come.

here is a couple of pics of the rear side glass ,
couple of years ago the seals were letting in more water than the spare wheel well could handle
so l removed them, slapped a bit of paint on and put the glass back in with new rubbers waiting for the day it was taken off the road
anyone with a wagon would know these side windows are not easily come buy. So when it came to taking out the side glass
l thought do l just cut the rubbers away making it easy to remove glass in one piece or do l take the chance and try and save the seals aswell
so l made up some little metal levers ,made sure the sealant was all loosened up and placed the levers in and slowly worked my around pushing the seal and glass into the car worked well ,but shitting myself all the time that the glass was going to brake
glad that is over l only have one spare

thanks Neil
that bend in the glass is a real concern, flat glass no problem
also knowing you cannot just go out and buy one makes the job
a little tense
