If I do anything with the wagon it might be to put it on club plates and use it for carshows and that kind of thing.
It does need a couple of small dents taken out and a good polish (obviuosly touch up the paint after dent repairs) and the tailgate is very rusty, but there is a rust free one here,

I still think it will eventually become a donor for the charger (and the thought was if I go speedway racing I would use the engine and box from the wagon into the black charger.
But in all reality the red charger wont be on a rotisere and in the shed for atleast 12 months yet.
I would also prefer to get rid of the coffin racks in the back and find a back seat for it, an original one in the same color could be a hard find.
As to using it as a tow car, that is not going to happen.
I have this in mind for that
The back of the tub and tailgate are pretty bad, the latest thought is I will cut the back of the body off, just behind the back window (make it almost a space cab) and fit a flat bed tray or a style side tray.
I have a 308 injected motor from a VN I could use for it, and a mate up the road has just offered me a transit van that I can take the front end out of (similar to HT holden) and the rear end is a salsbury with leaf springs, I will be measuring chassis widths and wheel bases before I take him up on the offer.
