Hi guys, the name is Jon, I live in the great state of Western Australia, and as this is my first post, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm into cars and it really doesn't matter what make or model, as long as it looks good and drives well. (Ok, except for anything Asian or Holdens) I'm the new owner of the 1972 Pontiac Lemans Station Wagon with T-41 Endura front end that was discussed earlier this year on this forums. I've owned quiet a few cars over the years, starting with a 1970 Holden HG Kingswood Station Wagon, with the Aussie 253 V-8 and Trimatic Transmission. From there I progressed in this order. 1973 Holden HQ Sedan 202 inline six with fold down front seat. (my father sold it on me, when I left it at his house with a ruptured rear brake line. He claimed I owed him money so sold it to my Step Brother.....A'hole) I no longer like Holdens. 1974 Ford XB Fairmont Sedan 302 Cleveland and 4 Speed. Sold when I got married. 1980 Ford XD Fairmont Station Wagon 302 Cleveland and C-4 Auto. I really loved this car, but it got stripped by a lightfingered thief. It was never the same afterwards. Sold it to buy a Nissan 4x4. 1989 Nissan Patrol 4x4. POS most the time, but easy to work on. 1991 Toyota Landcruizer 4x4, great fishing rig, went to the wife in property settlement. 2004 Ford XR8 Sedan 4.5 ltr 5 speed......Still got her, and still love her, bought from new. 1976 Ford Fairmont XB 2 door Hardtop, 351 Cleveland and FMX, 4 wheel discs, Sold to pay off the Wife's debts. 1973 Ford Falcon GS, XB 2 door Hardtop, 250 inline six, w/2V heads and 4 speed, Sold to pay off the Wife's debts. 1966 Valiant Regal Sedan with 225 slant six.........I've had this car 10 years, it's still registered and Stored. I've never driven it.....one day. 1977 Ford F-100 4 wheel drive, 351 Cleveland w/4 speed. my parts pick up truck. 1979 Camaro Z-28, 350 with Turbo 350, and C'C T-Tops. Starts, Runs, stops, a slow work in progress. 1976 Pontiac Trans Am 455 w/TH400 (ok it's not original) which I drive as much as I can, And finally what has bought me out here, In one month my 1972 Pontiac Lemans Wagon, will arrive, and I'm looking forward to starting a rebuild thread on this little puppy, once I get her into the garage. Thanks for having me... Jon
Hi falon4 I'm guessing your wagon is coming from the States? How exciting for you, starting a new project...hope your wife is financially stable now and you get to keep this one. to the forums, I'll be watching for your build thread.
