Hi all. just thought I would post some photos of my wagon. I have posted a photo of it when I bought it but thought I share some of recent images of it. I bought it on ebay listed as 1964 holden about 7 months ago brought in down from north QLD about 700 kms away. Car last on rego 1978(still has sticker) and I was told that the kids drove it the gate of their property (to catch the school bus)until it would not run or stop. It basically needs full resto has some floor and sill rust. I thought Ratbox would dig its patina. Have got it to run thanks to the sunny twins. My plan is to get it running and driving send it out for sill and rust repairs and paint inside and do rubbers and then register it with its fine patina and then paint it later. I guess a fbomb style. Have a disc brake lying around and a 179.Still has original trim needs front seat repair. may go either way with it as I am keeping the red sedan stock. Sorry about the cramped photos as she is stored sideways who said that you cant park 4 cars under your house. It borderlines being a parts car whats your opinon? 5 years ago you would part it. In my opinon times are changing and in five years we may struggle to find FB EK's. Its nice to have it dry stored and not in my way. Cheers

aarrgghh that be perfection

Hey Sunny

Feel im not in a position to comment as only a newbie, but looking at your new project makes me feel a whole lot better about mine. Here i am whinging about not being able to tune my carbie properly

Looking forward to seeing how an old hand at this thing develops this car

Cheers
Richard

Ratbox!!! Threaten me with cash!!!!!

one has to go before another can arrive only as far as cash is concerned

No prob Ratbox happy to let it sit would move it if a standard wagon came my way.

Lol to mick, looks like we have the same idea.... ratbox is looking for a car with patina, and will be in need of a toy if the van sells.

Hey ratbox, remember, im going to throw in the hustler rims....

Mick... love the wagon, has it been sprayed at some point (the undercoat on the door does not look like the original red oxide undercoat) or is that just my imaginantion?

by the way, i cant threaten with cash, but im willing to swap parklane and mayfair?
