I'm Duncan. I live in Huntington Beach, CA. (About 30 miles South of Los Angeles)

I actually logged onto this board a few years ago, but haven't really been active at all.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I imported a wagon from Australia. It ran and (sort of) stopped, but it was pretty much a basketcase. I'm still attending to a few details, but I'm wrapping up the restoration on it.

Now that the wagon is running, I hope to get a bit more active.

Here's a quick before and after...

Thanks for the add! Not sure why the pic failed, but here's the wagon as it looks today..

Welcome.

Very nice goon you've got there! Maybe post up a "built" thread?

Very nice color, looks good. Let's see the motor man.

Thanks for the kind words.

It barely ran when I got it, but with a new (to me) intake manifold, a new Weber carb, and a matchbox dizzy, I was able to get the L20B that was in it running pretty well. I did most of the work on the car, and slapped the L20 back in it just to enjoy the car for a bit. I did the work over 6 years in my free time, and I'm just enjoying having it running, driving, and stopping well.

I'm going to play with it for a bit, but plans are either rebuild a super-clean L20, or possibly swap a KA24de. Just haven't made up my mind on what to do. I've got a Z 5-spd trans in it, and it's quite adequate for driving as-is for a bit. The motor just isn't as detailed or as clean as the rest of the car. The engine bay looks good, though
