 Hi All, im Min - Simon Addison's wife. Ive got the bug too & bought this FC Wagon.  A great deal of work to do on her -  Getting the motor out, then finding somewhere to put it ?  Moved her into another possie where I could happily "talk" to her through the kitchen window  She has now been moved yet again - into the garage - where we can work on her without the worry of the weather   We also bought this wagon for parts - as far gone as she was - we can at least make 1 car out of 2! |

Cool little project, and good to see that you are getting into the garage to work on her.
Good luck and keep the progress updates coming.
