Anyone who's not blind will know that the wagon isn't all that easy on the eyes, but it does it's job – smashing tyres. The problem is that when its not in a burnout comp, it's sitting around taking up space looking ugly. When I bought the wagon it was registered but I hardly drove it because it didn't look like it should be on the road.. Driving around in a rattle can painted car with burnout damage and stockies on the back is asking for it! Especially with my driving record! The engine, box, brakes and cooling system are still really good, it's just the body thats rough.  So I've always had the idea of transferring the running gear into a nicer car and being able to drive it on the street. I've had my eye out for a while and looked at a few VK sedans in the last month but they've all needed too much work (gutted interiors, no glass etc). On Monday night I drove to Canberra after work to look at one that I found and I left a deposit on it. I'll post the info on that when I pick it up.

So this week me and my mates have been stripping down the wagon after work. We pulled the motor & box out yesterday.
