Good work Pedro, that subframe sure was rusty, how did it get so bad?

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.

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.

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

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....

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.

By the way thanks to whoever fixed up my post it looks a lot better now

[pedro]

That should have read thanks Stinky

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

No probs, just make sure you post some photos after you sandblast this one 

[DN2168]

Great collection Pedro, would love that shed. 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  .

[pedro]

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 .

[old59]

holy crap pedro your the bloody reason i cant find a wagon to restore lol great collection wish it was mine.

[pedro]

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.
