What have you done to your wagon lately? (Let's keep the thread going!)

Thank you, sir!
Got a lot done this week...feels good.

 

I need to talk to your father-in-law. What's his phone number?

 

Back from the shop, my Estates doors all open from the outside now but the handles are too shiny. Next spring, new wood inserts,... Hope to get di-noc film for the whole car.

 

Finished adjusting the shifter linkage/column lock/park-neutral safety switch.

Sanded and primed the dash panel to prep for the new wood-grain.

Started cleaning up the front and rear sway bars I'll be installing later this winter.

 

Changed the oil in the Merc today, but mostly worked on the truck. Had a lot to do.

 

The idea wasn't mine. I was complaning to the neighbor about it all and he gave me the idea, "brilliant!" I say.

 

Well, I do believe the Mercury is parked for the year as of now. I had to take her out on salty roads today and yesterday (not happy) because of the broken brake line on my truck. I think she's nestled away until a melt and rain to clean the salt back off the roads.

 

Started filling holes.... sigh. Lots and lotsa holes....

 

Nothing on my Olds in a very long time. But changed the shocks and endlink bushings on the new Volvo.

 

progress

This past week I got the front brakes redone on the wagon. I replaced calipers, pads rotors, seals and bearings, and the steel and rubber lines! MPJ

 

Pulled the new wheels back off the Wagon. Removed drums, calipers, rotors and put them in the blast cabinet and then repainted and reinstalled. Looks a lot better, now on to detailing the interior

 

Popped a new starter onto the OCC this morning. I should have done it months ago but at least I got to it before it died completely. Can't complain about the service the original provided though.

 

You're sure getting some good out of that Olds/Chevy! Better change those rotten old plug wires! I'm sure they are not too good anymore.

 

G'day to all, hope all is well in your wagon wold.
It has been 5 years of hard work for my wagon and it was showing
that the fist rebuild was a rush job. So in the shop it went again,

That was 4 months ago and it has been de rusted and the pant is gone Again! but it is OK we are doing it right this time.
( you can learn sooo much in 5 years) I em using fiberglass panels to lose weight and show what it is I do.
It will be the only Aust CM Chrysler Wagon with an fiberglass fount.
The Hemi 6 is gone and an 318 V8, 625 AFB & 904TF is in
Will put up some pic's for ya and keep you posted.

Cheers for now,
Kev

 

I put them way for the winter.
