Ken Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 04, 2008, 04:32:00 PM Now i,ve got the idea, only took me half a day ???, i just picked that wagon up, the bloke was going to restore it, 87,000 miles, straight as a die, no rust and then he goes and sticks it under a tarp for ten yrs. I don't know about down south but in Qld. if you put a car under a tarp for too long condensation can form inside the tarp and on a hot humid day it turns into a sweatbox, even inside the car where you normally never find rust was gone, lots of good parts though, only cost me an old grey head. 8)
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: smithy on April 04, 2008, 05:55:02 PM mate nice little collection you got, i take it you are rather fond of wagons ;D
tin worm sure has been hungry by the looks of it. good luck with your project/s cheers dean Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 04, 2008, 06:01:23 PM Thanks for the advice Mikey, I presume when i hit the enter button is also when i should add text. It's sad see them so far gone i hate the thought of cutting bits off it and sending it to scrap, but on the good side it added to my collection of stuff.
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: TTV6FC on April 04, 2008, 07:45:27 PM Geeez Pedro,that's a fair collection of bits ya got there.I thought my Black FC was rusty.....not like that...Cheers,Jamie
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: customFC on April 04, 2008, 10:43:37 PM Thanks for showing us around your garage.
Looks like you have everything you may need at your fingertips. That's a nice bit of property you live on, no complaints from the neighbours about the noise from the garage. Regards Alex Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: Hewart on April 04, 2008, 11:32:12 PM Great collection you've got there Pedro!!!
Very nicely set out.....!! Plenty of room too.... I'm very jealous ;) Cheers Les... Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: Paul In Ireland on April 05, 2008, 12:28:40 AM That is some collection.
How many wagons do you figure you get complete and running out of that lot - 3? Would like that space too.... Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: FC0058 on April 05, 2008, 12:31:43 AM Pedro
Your obviously single. Great collection and a great shed / workshop. Cheers Jim Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 05, 2008, 08:58:30 AM No not single just a very understanding wife(harder to find than a good FC), we bought this place(ten acres) a couple of years ago and brought in an old house, I have been rebuilding it ever since, thats why i haven't been able to start on the wagon yet, but she's off to the sandblasters soon. I only expect to build two cars, one almost standard apart from a little bit of performance gear and the other with all v6 running gear, we only have one neighbour and he's got an old vintage racer powered by a hotted up grey engine(i will post some pics soon) so we get on well, i have heaps of room outside but i'm addicted and i can't stop collecting so i need a bigger shed.
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 05, 2008, 09:00:30 AM By the way thanks to whoever fixed up my post it looks a lot better now :)
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 05, 2008, 09:48:58 AM That should have read thanks Stinky :) :) :)
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on April 05, 2008, 10:03:11 AM No probs, just make sure you post some photos after you sandblast this one :P ;D

That wagon sure is rusty. Is the wagon in the first pic the one that is stripped down?.......Just had another look, it's not :D.
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 05, 2008, 12:30:49 PM No it's the rusty looking complete one, i'm just learning about posting pics, I will have them in the right order and with captions next time, ???, the wagon in the first pic is the one in the shed, the engine went so i thought it was a good time for a full rebuild.
Stinky i don't know about sandblasting, I think a good strong wind and some grit and there wouldn't be much left ;D ;D ;D. Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: old59 on April 05, 2008, 12:53:33 PM holy crap pedro your the bloody reason i cant find a wagon to restore lol great collection wish it was mine.
Title: Re: Pedros Wagons Post by: pedro on April 05, 2008, 07:46:12 PM Nige sorry i didn't get back to you sooner, I didn't even notice i had messages. I used photo bucket but the first time i did it, I used the wrong box/code, you need to use the bottom one with IMG. in it, have the two pages up click on the IMG box at photobucket then click on the FE/FC discussion forum page/post then Ctrl v, on each image over and over until it's done ::), mikey gave me the tip of pressing enter between each one so you get a gap between the photos, hope that helps it seems easy once you,ve done it. :D
