it's a disease

Hey Mick...yeah I know what you mean...if I wasn't working on the car I might be able to do some.....gardening!

Front doors were A-OK. Rears need work - the blasting found some suprises as usual. Somehow the pics I put up doesnt show the worst of it. Beaver worked a treat!

Good, steady progress there Stewart. Can't wait for that big cam hot grey motor to go in it!

The light at the end of ther tunnel is becoming bigger, Stewart.

Hey Mick, my old man once painted a whole car with a Beaver . You'd be amazed how good those little things are

Sorry Stew

But I guess you could be like the grey motor critics on here and put in a $50 Ebay red motor with buggered bores in it... much faster than a professionally built hotted up grey

Sorry Stew

I was joking - that's

The wagon was always going to be a 'sports'...theres a post somewhere on the forum a few back showing my triples setup - Ill have to try and find it...

here it is back in Oct 2007 - weird place for it I know...http://www.fbekholden.com/forum/viewtop ... 56&start=0 I've got a slightly different manifold know but still Speco. Will post up more pics when I get to the engine bits...can't wait!

Dont worry, everyone with any horsepower will be waiting for your grey on club runs.

Those blasted panels look really solid.
How close is the rest of the body now???

Got to be one of the best stories of a rebuild on here.

Thankyou Michael, much appreciated helping hand as usual.

Thanks for that Stilluted and Stanley.

The rust repairs on the body are all done but body work still to do. Next step is to seam seal it and paint the underside and floor. Then get front and rears back on. Still a long way to go…
