my new 79 wagon

[Bonnewagon]

If you expect to haul heavy stuff like I do, coil-over shocks are great. Unloaded they raise the back only about an inch.

Well one thing i noticed yesterday is one of the rear tires aparently could be more then happy to drive 2 hrs home just fine but not 20min to go pick up some lumber... One blew out half way to town, so i shot down to the local tire shop and now i have a new set of rear tires that i dont have to worry about. I hope

Well I got the nasty seats out and the carpet, got some fixing to do but some por15 will have those floors looking better

Is the driver side the worst part of the floor?

 

[84dragcutlass]

Yeah its the only rust hole. I have a patch made up and ready to go in today

Messed up in the floor patch, made it to flat. Hurts your foot to work the gas and brake. Back to the drawing board

So since i sold the cutlass that my engine build was focused around i yanked the 305 and 350th out of the wagon and the new engine went in this week. Looks good and should make the wagon shake real nice with the solid mounts. All in all i think it worked out because it killed me having a sbc in a Olds. I will post pictures of last weeks progress and should be firing the engine up for the first time very soon

Josh,
Post some pics of your progress. Does this mean you decided to hold onto the wagon and get some use out out of it?
