Re: FB Standard Wagon
What body are you talking about? Georges wagon in the front garden?
If so yes she looks alright in the photos but the floor is basically non existent.
Was on its belly for 30 years.

Re: FB Standard Wagon
Welded in a new lower rear quarter section.
Haven’t done a job like this before and I’m pretty happy how it turned out.
Is it perfect? No, but neither is the rest of the car!

Re: FB Standard Wagon
A funky little repair that was easier than expected.
Cut a good bit out of the wreck and just welded it in.
File sander worked well to do all the radius’ to match the others.

Re: FB Standard Wagon
And this is where I am up to as of today….
I looking the finish the y frames in GMH black and get it out of my shed so I can get cracking on sealing the underbody.
The y frames will live under my carport until I’m ready to fit them.
In that time I’ll flood all the internals with cavity wax so hopefully it’s all set and cured when I fit the frame up.
Pretty freaky to look back on what has been 6 months of pretty solid work.
