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.

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.

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.
