another car me and some friends built approx 25 years ago back when we built it good to see another of my radical custom builds still on the road after so many years

saw a satin black 2 door wagon on bookface yesterday that looked like another of yours , when I saw the heading I figured thats what this post was about .....

I assume this one started out as a wagon Mick? What bracing did it need underneath?

Cheers,

yeah started as a wagon
had to put chassis connectors and triangulate the sills (steel plate from the bottom of inner sill up to floor) also had to fill (plate) the Y on the subframe and i think we also plated the kick panel area also

Guy I knew at Moonta did one in about 1990. It had RHS brace in the cab from above the front spring hanger to the firewall to subframe attaching bolts either side. You had to practically climb over to get in and out.
