The new steed
 
As we know this is probably the cleanest wagon in the country and a credit to its former owners. Its all mine now!

Dont worry sam, as kids we all played musical chairs. This is just the grown up version 'musical scoobs' :lol:

Agreed. My other half drives Ron's old leggie. :polish:

SUBARMAN 02-07-2013 08:43 PM

Round and round we go. Ron's moving away from Polegate soon so the wagon needed to stay close to me (within 5 miles)!!

simba 02-07-2013 08:49 PM

SpecB 02-07-2013 08:57 PM

Hongkongfooi 04-07-2013 04:59 PM

The wife took it to work today and really liked driving it:doh:

Anyway front tints were checked and are illegal so need to consider whether they stay as they suit the car and are very well done:-?

I took the front tints off Tim. Whilst they looked quite good I found they restricted my vision at junctions etc and was always buzzing the window down, but then I suppose I'm not used to them. Mine where medium though so quite dark. I left the back doors and windows though as they look cool.

majorscooby 04-07-2013 05:18 PM

One day I'd like to get my hands on this wagon! Lovely scoob, love the wheels and the big alcons.

Anger 04-07-2013 05:38 PM

Great buy there Timothy :D

Ginola 04-07-2013 07:46 PM

This is a nice surprise :)

well done Tim :) always loved this wagon! heres an old snap for you ;)

Great looking wagon this is Tim, nice choice mate. How have you found the jump from newage to classic.

I've hardly driven it yet matt! Been working too much. I'll give it a proper going over at the weekend. From the test drive with Ron it's a peach. About 330 brake in a classic is good fun8-)

I'm also working until 5 at the moment so can't guarantee the evening yet

Hongkongfooi 06-07-2013 08:27 PM

Took it out for a good run today and love it already.

I've de stickered it (there weren't many anyway) washed it last night and had more if a poke underneath to see what's what.

Still struggling to find anything to do to it!

Bonnet might get a respray if I'm being ultra picky and will look into a 2 pot upgrade for the rear brakes but that's it so far!8-)

Hongkongfooi 08-07-2013 10:32 AM

That's Keith with one of his wigs isn't it....:ok:

Hongkongfooi 13-07-2013 09:44 PM

well a light modding has started already.....:wave:

Bought some rear two pot calipers today from midlife (thanks), they come with grooved discs and the brackets to get them to fit to mine.
Just masked them up and will be painting them when the paint arrives in the post in silver to match the front alcons
http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps552178cb.jpg
the discs have anti rust stuff on at the moment
