Summary

I found this wagon after 6 months of looking thru many online car forums and sales sites. It's Sorm Grey in colour. Finding a V8 Wagon in such a cool colour was way too much so I purchased it. The car is imaculate inside and out.

This site was updated March 4th 2006. I will be adding some new pics soon to this page. I have a new clubsport front end I am preparing and a new In-Dash LCD screen and some other things.
UPDATE: 22/06/2006:
Ok I have the new LCD screen installed in the dash. It took some time but I finally got it installed. I also got my SWIX steering wheel interface installed as well which now allows me to use the standard wheel controls with my Pioneer head unit so that's pretty cool too. I sold off my HSV bumper cause it didn't look that good and i've decided to keep it with the sleeper look. Apart from that not much else has changed. I am going to re-make my sub woofer box for the 3rd time. This time i'm going to make it slim profile and square with a shelf on top so I can stash all the baby stuff in the back as I have a baby comming soon (hence why I bought a wagon a few years back). I will post updated pics once I take some.
