hi all
well i have been on here for a couple of months so its probably about time i posted some photos of my project. its a 61 special wagon thats getting a full resto
Not to bad on the rust seen worse
and have now got it down to almost nothing
Got a couple of parts getting blasted at the moment so it feels like its moving forward a bit. will post more pics soon. thanks to those who have given me bits of advice so far ill be sure to be asking plenty more questions as this goes on
Another wagon saved , good on ya rudigar.
Are you getting it sand blasted? this may uncover some more rust holes, which is a good thing, you mayaswell get the whole lot while your at it, good luck and keep us in the loop with pic's , Trev .

hi trev,
yeah am getting it all sandblasted, unfortunately cant do it all just yet as im having a bit of time off work with a broken arm so have to behave myself a little in the money area, but hopefully not to many more rust holes pop up got enough as it is. But i am one of the luckier ones who has a panel beater that lives next door, cant argue with that
You are more optimistic than I would be in your place mate! Good on ya!
thats nothing. will get off my lazy ass one day and get pics of my wagon up. looked good from 20 meters away
Up close i can put my whole arm through the c pillar on both sides. wil try and save her but i think she might be a goner.
cheers

well it seems like a bloody long time since i wrote on here so just a couple of quick updates
got my front fenders back from the panel beater rust gone, welding done and finished up to guide coat. cant fault it a bit. and now hes got the doors
Engine is out along with everything else so it is off to the sandblasters on monday to find more rust holes
Finally feels like its moving forward rather than just ripping bits off it. Can some of the enthusiasts/historians tell me where this seat patten comes from. took the seat cover off today and found it. Back seat is the original red with grey inserts but ive never seen this pattern before
which panel shop did yor stuff my mate works at blaches
the bottom of the guard still looks a bit funny but you won't see that unless yor laying under it, also looks to be a seem on the bottom of the guard where i'de say they've fitted a section, put some form of seam sealer in that as it looks like it'll be a trap for dirt
like stinky said about the seat i think it's FC
