Neil's FB Station Wagon

Keith came down today, we put the doors an and he gapped them so we have reference when we change the roof, hopefully in the next couple of weeks

Makes me happy to see us at this point

[FireKraka]

Obviously I still have a lot of work before me.

Picked up a pair of 16x7 pursuit rims to fit VE with this offset I should be able to lose the wheel spacers and get the rims under the rear quarter without rolling and the 225 tyre.

Good score Neil. Do you know the offset? Looks big positive.

Big offset is the whole idea mate pulls it inboard I think it is +42

[Harv]

Not an unusual offset for a Conformadore. A lot of the pre-VE stuff was +43P.

Cheers,
Harv

Seam sealed underneath and painted front to back, will take it off the rotis today and on to car stands so we can do the roof.

Mob I got the rims from are from your part of the world Clay they were really good to deal with, once I’m happy with the rear rims I’ll purchase rims for the front and maybe go 16x6
Anyway roof next then subchassis repairs.

Onwards and upwards

Big moment Neil, a milestone reached

kudos to ya for persevering with that body mate - a lesser man would have binned it and found a better one ..................

[Errol62]

Yep, that is a milestone for sure.

What is the name of the wheel mob if you recall mate?

I have bought some tyres off that mob. their prices and range are spot on especially for 13" stuff.
