Hi Ya Gang, I'm an Aussie Wagooon guy, and just want to say G'Day. Looking forward to chatting to you all, I'm a full on Mopar guy.
Welcome to the forum, Phil. For the uninitiated, since Phil hasn't posted pics yet, here's an Aussie VK Valiant wagon: Pretty slick! (We never got that body here in the states.)
to the wagon train, Phil. Glad you found us. Love to see your wagon and hear more about it, more about you and more about down under!
Yeah Gang, Mine is the same as the blue one above, owned by a real good Kiwi fella, only mine needs a lot of work to be as good as his is. Mine is cream in colour.
OW, I like the Valiant. Any chance it's got the in line 6 Hemi? I always thought one of those needed to be stuffed into an Omni or FWD Daytona BTW. Where in NSW are you? It's a long way from the gold Coast to Melbourne. Cheers, Jer
Mate Sydney to the Gold Coast is about 1600-ish kilometres or about a 14 hr drive and Sydney to Melbourne is similar kinda distance. Yeah at present it has a 245ci Hemi however plans are for a 440 stroker motor to take up residence in the engine bay to wake the old girl up some.
