The HZ Wagon

[Hoska91]

Hey All,

A couple of you may have seen i was debating between stickin with my sedan or going with a HZ wagon, well i've made my decision.

just a breif history, The wagon has been my uncles for around 15 years as he swapped it for his 6 Cylinder HJ because some people around the corner wanted something a bit more "fuel Efficient".

The Specs on "The Wagon" are currently as follows;

Engine: 253 4.2L V8
- Small Towing Cam
- Twin 2 Inch Lukey Exhaust system
Gearbox: 3 Speed Trimatic
Diff: 10 Bolt Salisbury Open Wheel; 3.08 Ratio
Suspension: Lovels Standard height springs and Monroe Shocks

The entire front end steering components were recently replaced including power steering pump and box.

Obviously the body isn't the best but the lines are there and we have the know how at my place to fix it all.
Here are some pics to keep everyone happy! ill hopefully be updating this at the least weekly!

haha yeah, rust repairs have started some of it is like swiss cheese, it's been dodgily repaired previously so places are filled with bog which uncover holes but ill get to them,
the angle grinder died the other day so didn't have time to cut much rust out...i'll post up some pics when i get home!
also scored 5L of atlantis blue paint to clean her up until i can afford a real paint job!

Who's arm and leg ? im pretty short so that's likely going to only be a carton , if that's the case im alright with this!

Thinking about doing the rear side indicator similar to this so it's all flush



in the same spot as the current one, i just think it will look a lot cleaner.
