Interesting link. Based on that I'm thinking that the colour looks OK. No deposits or cracks. Definitely not running too rich at any rate.

Straw colour is perfect.
Does the sparkplug on the left have a farked thread?

Good to know.

Uh, good question. I hadn't noticed, but it's easy enough to check it again so I'll have a look.

Hey mate I have a wagon as well and am also battling with the rear suspension at the mo. Did you find out about the surf shocks?

Hey mate, I think i ended up using shocks for a Ford Escort wagon or something. Was a few years ago but I'll have a look next time I get a chance. They seem to do the trick.

Cheers mate would love to see some pics of what it looks like these days, what else you done to it? I have a 180b wagon down in chch and slowly doing bits and pieces to it.

Bring it to a big labour weekend cruise!

It looks pretty much the same as it did at the picture earlier on when I took it up the mountain to the snow.

Not a huge amount done to it really. Let's see...
5 speed gearbox
R31 shortened front struts/brakes
Adjustable lower control arms
Reset rear leaves and lowering blocks
Custom driveshaft tunnel
Ported/Polished closed-chamber head with Kelford cam

It's a legit 85 mm front crossmember to ground which was the major bit of work.

Next on the cards is exhaust I reckon. Go for maximum ground clearance.
I've got a set of Mikuni Solex sidedraughts that I was toying with the idea of using, but we'll see.
