Been awhile since ive posted anything to do with my cars,
For those that dont know, i bought my first FB wagon at the age of 15, my grandfather (buddy) did the resto and i tried to help as much as i could, she was on the rd when i was 19, first rego'd nov 2000, had it a couple of years and then sold it (stupid me
)
Well buddy past away 2 years ago and only a few months after dad found her for sale on facebook, after allot of chasing by me i finally have bought her back
Here are a few pics, ss pretty much hasnt been driven since i got home, was lucky enough to pop into the nats!
Just getting her ready for rwc, hope to get her full reg for the first year

You really shouldn't be leaning on that sunvisor Brett, that's as bad as me with coffee cups..

But I DONT like fender spears! I dont even like FENDERS! Best pic was the early one without silly DOODADS on front mudguards. Seriously though, Im very happy you got it back mate.
You wont have to go through the wringer like Stuey did with "Old Timer'.
