New member with a 3+3+2 C, did they ever market it as that?

[Hezath]

haha excuse the lame title but I didn't want it to just say 'new member introduction'

 

Anyway, my name's Heath and I've got an 8-seater 230 series wagon, '73 model.

 

So yeah, no Z, just C. But it's still got an L-series and that's what I'm here for. I'm on OzDat but not many people have sixes on there so I came here to absorb a bit of your expertise and maybe grab some parts that need a new home. Hope to build a motor up for it with a bit of boost and straight gas. Might even be talked into upgrading the three-on-the-tree for a floor shift with an extra gear or two. We'll see haha

Welcome Hezath, Bought the same thing as the first car we we landed here 1986, Mine was a 260c with 3 speed manual on the tree with a electric Rear side shopping window that opened with a key from the outside. Was a great car and I used it as my mobile tool box for work until the clutch went on it.

 

It did not suffer the rust as the z cars did.

Hi there!

You still chasing a H190 3.9 ratio diff centre?

You would probably have got one by now!

 

Plenty of L6 engine help over on here.

Is the SeaWagon running Auto trans?

Welcome Heath.

 

[Hezath]

Yep, mine is the manual 3spd with the electric side window, fold out dickie seat and all that good stuff haha.

Just fitted these mirrors the other day too:

 

dat2kman, thanks for asking, I managed to get my hands on a sedan drum to drum diff assembly, still a 4.11:1 but in excellent condition and swapped that in. Came with a sedan swaybar that I endeavor to fit shortly (when I have better access to a hoist so I can fabricate on some brackets to the chassis) and paid a slab for the lot.

Getting rid of that diff whine was the best thing I've done to the car! hahaha
