Well, after what feels like a lifetime, I am back working on the wagon! I am pretty keen on fitting a tri-angulated 4-link rear end into the car, for numerous reasons (one being the difficulty getting an engineer to sign off on airbags). I have looked at the Mc Donald Bros universal kits, but I am ...

You should also look at doing a chassis upgrade, either your own design, or a Castlemaine Rod Shop kit. The mods you are thinking is pretty much what I am currently going through at the moment, other than fitting air-con, and a four-link rear setup. Yes, the wiring looks like a bastard, but if you ...

Geez doesn't time get away from you... Forgive me superman, for I have sinned, it has been almost two years now since I last did any major work on the wagon (coincidently about the same age as my daughter). But I have had the last three weeks do do some decent cutting, welding, and grinding (ad ...

There is a bloke in QLD that makes new tanks in stainless and they were around the $600 mark a few years back.......... but can't remember his name now??................. Dean "someone" ??.....................

Someone on here will know.

He was briefly selling them on ebay a few years back from ...

Yeah, I have a tank in a reasonable (but dirty) condition. Still has about a third of a tank of leaded in it! (but is probably no good). In Newcastle if your interested

Thanks for the piccies everyone. I am still waaaaayyy off completion, but I like to rethink the final product as I go. You never know where an idea may lead too...

Yeah, rat138, I think the racks in your shot are more the type I'm thinking about. The missus isn't so sure about the look, but hey, I ...

Suction caps! Damn.... must have some faith you luggage will still be there at the end of your trip!

This may get me hung, drawn and quatered, but I am gonna say it.........

I don't mind the look some of the low rider VW bug crowd have with the inclusion of a roof rack.

I am trying to visualize what a similar look could be like with the wagon, but am drawing a blank (this weekends been a bit of ...

Sorry, only fist came upon this thread todat. Nice looking wagon, mate, can only hope that mine will end up looking as good. You said at the beginning that you were going to use retractable seatbelts all round. How are you going to mount your rear one's? I have seen the "bar across the back seat ...

Hope you only want to strip paint, and not rust, if you use sodablasting.....

After checking out some other cars under construction, I'm not going to complain ever again about how much rust I have in the wagon! I applaud those who are going all out to fix their pride and joy.

Well, managed to pick up a 135amp mig welder off evil-bay for $500! The guy I got it from had no ...

Thanks to all. I am really not fussed about the aesthetics of the floor. Think I will go ahead with cutting up a spare floorpan to fit.

Hello everyone! If you haven't already had a look at the photo's of my car yet, I am trying to find the best way to repair an area of floor that is pretty much right behind the end of the replacement front floor pieces, and outboard of the front seat bolt holes. The area is scalloped, so I am in two ...

Well, good news and bad news always happens when you get a car sandblasted (goes without saying, really). All the panels and doors, bar one, were in really god shape. The front guards have some areas to be touched up, but are not too bad at all. The body however.... there was a fair amount of bog in ...
