Thanks guys.

Gary the wagon is going well.I have to get the engine rebuilt , replace the lower ball joints as the ones that I replaced fell out. Have to put in o/size. The picture of the wagon was taken out the side of my place just prior to doing some grass cutting with it.The grass has grown back now. Hopefully it should debut at this years Xmas party (Fingers Crossed)

Cheers Rusty

Hi all

  Well, the time has come to Paint (Your) The Wagon so last Thursday week I loaded it onto a trailor and took it to Austec Plastic Blasters (via Alfio's as he knew where to go) near Liverpool somewhere,and when they were finished it,Thursday just gone, it was delivered to Alfio's where he can perform his magic. I went across to Alfio's Restorations on Friday to view the end result of the blast it copped and was surprised at the very very little rust in the car.Mainly on the drivers side gutter.'mazing. Time now to try and put some pics up.Not very lucky at this.

looks like you were lucky with the rust, how much did the blasting cost?

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Why didn't they blast the door frames  ??? Usually you see it the other way around with large panels left with paint and all the fiddly bits blasted.

Wow super clean body.
That will make a good base to start with.

Leon,

The Blasting cost me $2000. They do a very good job.I was luck enough to have a look at some of there work prior to leaving my car.The jobs I looked at were as clean as clean can be.

Stinky,
The reason it wasn't done around the door jams is that all the inside is still in original paint.I've touched up some areas but the rest was polished by me with a cutting compound , plenty of elbow grease and finally with a good dose of "Mothers"and the bits I missed ,Alfio will get.
Cheers Rusty

Alex,

Yes ,it is almost the perfect start point. The rust was very minor and I for one am very happy with it.There are still some minor dings in it but I'm sure Alfio will knock'm out.

As I get more photos I'll put them up.I need the practice.

Cheers Rusty

As you are aware "Rosalyn's Wagon" yes, she has made the move across to the wagon which is no longer ours but "Hers" Yep you heard it right. May have to change the name on the entry form for Mt G. anyway here I hope are some progress pics.

Had a bit of time doing not much today so decided to put my (Rosalyn's)wagon wheels on MY car to see what a difference it would make.A picture's worth a 1000 words they say
