    First step is to get the old girl back up where she belongs. Then check the underside for road damage. You can see there the passenger rocker is warped and wavy from contact with the ground. There could be other issues in there as well. Not a bad looking wagon at all, but she could use a bit of help to bring her back to what she could be.

    I like Fred that low. It was lowered just before i got it. No damage to the car was done the driver side spring was so worn out that only the passenger side spring was cut and rear blocks were added. But it does have rust I think it was stored for a long time at one point of its life.

    I like the look of this wagon, what kind of mileage does it get with the 6 and the 3 on tree? Any overdrive on that transmission?

    The Trans is only three on tree no overdrive but does good on gas. Not sure on gas mileage fuel sending unit leaks can only put in a few gallons at a time. Thanks for the complements I really like the wagon but wanted to see what I could get for trade. Think I am gonna keep it can't find anything I want to trade for.
