No AU Wagons of any type had IRS not available as an option and very hard to mod to fit.

I had a good look at a Fairlane thinking the LWB sedan should be the same but they are not.

A good idea but lots of work. Body work, wheel arch work mounting point fabrication.

All too hard

Was he talking about wagons though Jonbays? I thought he was referring to sedans, although that wasn't evident in his post, I read into it a little! LOL!

You would be the wagon expert though! :

IRS was an option on all SWB sedan models.

Fair enough too I say! Not much beats a wagon as a family vehicle!

Especially when it's a BMW X5, or porsche Cayenne, or VW toureg etc. But a falcon will do me just fine.

Speaking of wagons, does nayone have a dickie seat for an AU they don't want? It needs to come with all brackets, seat belts etc. Oh, and some cash would come your way.
