to be honest id be either replacing rusted section or chemical treating it even after sand or soda blasting .
like i said depend on your goal .. but there wont be much change outta 2k for soda blast ..

welcome, mudgroup.
I'm with EKK001 - looks like a prime candidate for a 'ratbox resto' even if it is a little lacking in the moss department
Good luck which ever way you decide to go!
cheers jack
ps I'm in Vic, and owned an EK wagon exactly the same colours inside n out, about 35 years ago. Wish I kept it...

where to start... one word.. rust ? though when i close my eyes... it don't look that bad ! will get some pics up to inflict my pain on all of you !
all glass, front doors, front guards, grill, front seats and headlining off/out of the car... rear seats to remove... rear doors... and tailgate to come off... requiring a little more wd40... have been visiting these every night for 2 months with a little spray... motor out this weekend... then off to soda blast or sand blast... still cant get a definitive answer on which best.. anyone ?
moving forward... have local machine shop ready for the grey.. and not 100% set on whats going to happen with that... so any ideas / thoughts would be appreciated.. any tricks ?... also twin carby?.. extractors?
and... i want to join the club.. where can i find a membership form... ?

new aquisition... snowcrest white, previously posted / owned by mr jackson...
http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6238
purchased a few months ago now... after meeting steve and wayne... took off from penrith... and 14hrs later landed back in geelong.... what a road trip.
as i didn't have the skills / patience, the restore got moved on... and couldn't be happier!

It's amazing what a set of whitewalls and hubcaps/wheel trims can do to a car's looks. Nice looking wagon

You're right Cal, what a difference the wheels make. Looks awesome.
