The wheels shouldn't look so bad once you get it down to normal Ratbox height. Be good to see it finished and sitting right. Looks good Rat.

see you Sunday Mick. I'm sure you'll get there. Have you left off the headlight surrounds on purpose or are they on and I just can't see them?

regards
Stewart

Looks Good Rat

If you haven't got enough hubcaps to go around,
Rip the others off

yeah it was just laziness

just finished putting some paint on so headlight surrounds didn't go on, got plenty of hub caps but don't think i'll use them

well for a butcher that does shonky wrecks i did alright 250km drive today ran like a dream, although the drive was spoiled by SH!T weather, 2 hours of listening to a dry nylon bush in the wipers squeak

finally bought an overpriced can of spray lube give it a squirt aahhh silence

then the rain stopped 10 mins later

pretty much for the rest of the drive

realized a funny thing today while driving it, the last real time it was driven the day it was smashed 20 odd years ago it was raining

Well I for one reckon your wagon could easily go for the asking price of that Carpoint one, 'cos as you said, the $194,000 door handles DO come with the car, plus another set of doors if I'm correct?

What's the interior look like these days RB?

extremely sad /basic the proper front seat and the back seat are good and suposedly rarer combo of normal blue pattern where you sit with the white star pattern around the edges, but as i had to have a cut out in the front seat for the shifter there is another seat in it (i still have the original) the door trims are pretty sad door cards warped, speaker holes

and some peanut painted them

i got alot of it off, nothing on the floor but i'll come across door trims in time and once i sort out some of the leaks i'll put carpet in
i'm actually thinking of selling the seats and putting in a shitty back seat and doing the mexican blanket thing

Mark was selling blankets from El Mexico a while back

Maybe he might still have some sitting under a Sombrero somewhere

The wagon looks good Mick, I like the blue colour mate.

Whats left for it ?
I like the original seat colour that it had ... possible to bend the shifter so the seat doesnt need to be modded ?

Was this at AHD ? I dont recall seeing it there.
