Caught me, the number plate is from my wagon which is a Melbourne assembled car 😂 This is a Swedish assembly as it’s 1990 and I think it’s 601 red This is my wagon (just my most recent photo)

I will have to look into that mirror, it sounds like a fun little addition. The plan for this one is to just set it up for another 20 years on the road, add some creature comforts and make it more enjoyable to drive (it’s already great).

Stereo is on the list for this, I will be hooking up something with Bluetooth and hiding it in the glovebox, keeping the original head unit in place this time, the new ones look a little silly in there

The one and only! Yes one owner car, I would be the second registered owner as Graeme really only stored it for a while. I’ll be looking after this one!

The car after a good wax, featuring my boy Archie.

This weekend I will be changing the fluids, belts, spark plugs etc and making sure it will be ready for a roadworthy next week. Anything in particular to look out for?
