Well done, they are great cars and solid as a rock.
Whilst I have not owned one, I have driven my brother in laws several time many years ago.
Maybe you could save up and mod with a plat steering wheel.

Nice one !! congrats

I have a serious question. Have you gone sideways in that wagon yet? Seems fun.

Nope need to up the power (camshaft, and need lower / stiff suspension. Probably not going to do that.

I want to change the exhaust for a stainless performance one from Simon's. Gives a little more sound but is very subtle. Then maybe buy BBS wheels when I change my tires for all weather tires.

Need a new spare tire and need to fix my tailgate handle as you can only open it from the inside

I did get the mandatory Petrolicious sticker already though

Oh and the gas mileage isn't great

I wish they are more popular here in the US. Currently we are crazy about SUVs which are lifted wagons
