Icehouse Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I'm sure most of you guys have seen this wagon on CL the last 8 months. We talked him down to a price we felt was fair and picked it up. Very very solid, but full of more rat shit than you could imagine!!! We spent 4 hrs cleaning it, which required stripping the interior and headliner. The car has NO rust wholes :D The major problem with the body is someone thought it would be a good idea to "flare" the rear fender wells with pliers :( It's just metal though, anything can be fixed :D Here are some pics of the car.

DRIVEN Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Not sure if I'm jealous or not...I want to be:unsure:. Judging by the "custom" hitch and front push bar that car probably has a colorful history. You probably don't want to know. Looks like a pretty good starting point - I think you guys did OK. Let's see more pics. What's the game plan? Quote Link to comment

Yeah all the doors have tight hinges. Not sure if I'm jealous or not...I want to be:unsure:. Judging by the "custom" hitch and front push bar that car probably has a colorful history.

That's what I thought to, an okay price but not a screaming deal. You know how projects go though, one trip to the parts store and your total project investment doubles :eek: The game plan will be reviled as the project evolves :D The Doom is soon to come :D Quote Link to comment
