Getting Wagon Running Should be Cheap.

[CaliWagon83]

So I went online to RockAuto last night and poked around on the site to see what service parts are for the likely repairs/maintenance I'd need to do to get it running. Most of them are ridiculously cheap. Even a brand-new gas tank is less than $100. As I've shared, longer-term, I'm going to pour five-figures worth of money into this project, but at least to get it running, registered, and smogged as-is, it's looking like it will probably be well less than $1,000. Can wait to get it going and take it to a few drive-in cruise nights!

Where is your official build thread?

Where is your official build thread?

I went kind of bananas when I first joined GBF, and upon the suggestion of another forum member, all my questions, photos, etc. were consolidated into a single thread, which I think is now inactive. Car is not yet officially "home." Once I get it here, and start wrenching on it, the "official" build thread will begin. Stay tuned...

We'll be waiting.

Buy the tank with the neck already in it, PITA to reuse original

Ribbedroof, the one on RA is less than $100 with the neck included. For some reason, it's even cheaper than the coupe tank! Rare good news for wagon owners!

I have one on the shelf, myself, for eventual installation. Learned my lesson on my second wagon
