This motor will take some getting used to for me smile
I'm sure it will grow on me in time.

Is the car in mint condition, or is there anything that needs sorting? Also, are you changing anything for personal preference?

Wondering what plans you have.

The paint and interior are fresh.

Short term plans are a few electrical jobs
Fit some extra guages so I can keep an eye on the engine
Fit a stereo
Then I may try and find a bench for the front to replace the BMW seats that are in there and get the headlining retrimmed at the same time.

Long term I would like to fit air ride so it can go lower and raise up for speed bumps, oh and a servo and disc brakes might be a good idea too.

It has a nodding Tiki god on the dash!

Sorry Nick, I honestly don't mean to be rude, but I think you're barking to have chopped the charger for this.

Is this you getting in-touch with your feminine side? wink

I reckon its whatever floats your boat. I loved the Charger, but Im into muscle cars.

This is kool in a different way, and I admire the work involved.

The end of the day its a neck breaker rather than a head tuner.

Top pics of a very kool car.

Does need set of surf boards on the roof though hehe

Hey we all have different opinions Andy, no probs.

Out and about people seem to love the Wagon more than the Charger, but maybe they notice it more biggrin

That'll get you noticed alright ! How does it sound ? The routing of the exhaust pipes looks odd, do they interfere with the suspension at all ?
