Lottsa rust! So you gonna do some customising, or is the body gonna be more a resto style? Waiting for the progress pics

I'm on my blackberry so I won't go to the photobucket link, but if you want some kustom ideas that are true oldskool (couldn't resist) shoot over to ozrodders and check out FCOOL's wagon its a fairdinckum work of art, there was also a my shed or people like us article in streetmachine a little while ago on him and his "shed" realy inspiering stuff.

Where abouts is that Mudflap?.. some threads aren't accessible by people who aren't members of Oz Rodders

Members rides I thinks an every one page if not its a free to join section any way

http://www.ozrodders.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=13028&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 try that see if it works?

body is going to be basically stock, nice and low with wide stockies and whitewalls. all the running gear and suspension will be brought up to date to make it handle and go better (by go better i of course mean f##ken fly!!! )

Some pics from today. more and more rust keeps popping up








and seeing its been apart sometime in the past, who ever did it decided it wasnt good enough to use the same bolts. every second bolt is a different size

Nope, gotta be a member

A Wagon hey? Well nice taste you have there, that's for sure.
My girl (Casey) is a 61' EK Wagon, Strata Blue Bod and Snowcrest Roof. Just went for a big cruise in her then and going back out tonight in her. Love driving these ol' Holdens!!!
Nice to see someone with a Wagon.

Bye for now

shit mate that thing will fly, should be a mighty tough and cool cruiser, cant wait to see the finished product

cheers

Bit more done to the old girl. Stripped the rusty subframe off and found lots more rust. basically will get floors, sills, rails, crossrails and parts of the firewall replaced. Should keep me busy for a while. I've found lots and lots of bog covering rust along the way...... must be an acceptable repair in the country

Looking forward to seeing the finshed product Mick! If the tonner is any benchmark for your attention to detail/ skill level, it'll be one sweet ride!
