Much better than the old 10 grand asking price Have asked for pics of tags to add to the register Hello, do you know what he ended up doing with it? I think this was my old NA wagon... just interested in its travelings. It went from myself in brisbane, to melbourne, then to a young kid in WA, which he told me he sold it to a friend in WA and it was getting a new LS1 heart/possibly ruining it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Friday trivia: what was the type of spare wheel fitted to A9Y wagons? Calais alloy or steel rim?

Hard to tell if it's even a HDT one without seeing the rear compartment.

I was keen but personal circumstances atm have stopped me (plus I have to many projects). Only negative from my perspective was the sunroof being one of those pop up ones from memory - prob not to hard to change to an electric type.
