Hey John - looking really good. I'm glad it went to someone with plans and ability to get it into shape. I'll be following this thread.
And to think I was near to scrapping it

Nice colour John - white looks good on a Classic. That bonnet scoop seems to have grown a bit since it was in my garage 
Did you figure out the questions on the rear diff and gearbox ?

Hi John - yes it's a pain that the oid drains out with no prop shaft. I put Millers Oils CRX 75w90 NT Competition full synthetic transmission oil in my 6 speed. You need to top it up through the dip stick hole. I used the nozzle of a silicone bathroom sealant taped to some tube

Great project. Why did you have to resort to using the wagon's loom exactly? What year was the Wagon, and your saloon?
The reason for my question is because I intend to have a similar reshell using engine and drivetrain transplanted from my '99 JDM WRX in to a '98 JDM WRX RA (I haven't bought the RA yet)
