Forum back up and running good to see.
Took the WB round to the mechanic and needed to get a couple if things sorted. New idler arm as too much play, 1 wheel bearing too much play and a rear suspension hanger rubber was a bit average so all sorted. Big issue was the exhaust. It was a brand new system including extractors etc about 3 months before I bought it but they had put straight through mufflers and hotdogs on it so of course bloody loud. Mufflers had to be replaced with some good triple core ones. Sounds much better as a result too. Rego was pain free and she's now my daily driver.
Couple of issues so far have been
1)does not like to run when cold with it missing and backfiring through the carb (auto choke misbehaving and a tune so will sort them out)
2)vibration at part throttle from 75-85kph and
3)seems to be an issue with kickdown and squeeling (power steering belt by the sounds of things) from the engine bay somewhere when I give it a bootful. Never owned an auto so will do some reading on the various forums. The trimatic was rebuilt in 2009 but I don't think it's been serviced or adjusted since then so might be a trip to the auto shop. Looking at slotting in a T5 next year so just need it to last for 12 months.
