Looking good there Ben, nothing wrong with using a Mazda booster, I know a couple of people using the same because they fit well.
Good luck with the front guard,
Trev

G'day yeprat1, have not purchased the unit yet, but leaning towards the aussie desert coolers one ($450), compared to vintage air etc $800-$1000.im trying to get some fedback on the desert ones, as to if they are any good/will cool a wagon

It was a good week last week, the wife gave birth to bub four, a little girl,
and we got the fb rego'd. Real happy with the car, it starts, stops, corners, nicely, and for a stock 161 keeps up well with the traffic. My weekends are going to feel a little empty, spose i will have to finish the house

.Still have to fit a radio and mount the head unit for the aircon/heater. As you can see from photo's still chaseing some rear over-riders, any leads would be much appreciated
