    Hi All

    Great to be part of your community.

    I am the lucky owner of a Canadian export, right hand drive 1964 Chevrolet Impala Wagon. I am the third owner and it has been under my care for the past 23 years, the first 15 of which were as a reliable workhorse while I was a musician. Over the following 7 years it was "retired and unloved" with an uncertain future.

    I'm pleased to say that as of January 26 this year I commenced a detailed factory correct restoration on it (including some research into its history).

    I will shoot over now to the projects thread and start the story - it's a long and detailed one so I hope you don't mind!

    Cheers

    :Welcome: Simon!
    That is going to be one cool wagon. I can't say I've ever seen a RHD '64 Chevy wagon...or any old American wagon for that matter.
    Keep us updated. :)

    :Welcome::Welcome:to the group. Nice save on your old wagon. Don't worry about writing too much. We love reading about wagons and wagon projects as much as playing with them.

    Welcome to the nuthouse! You're going to fit in just fine around here! Great wagon, too, and fantastic that you decided to save the old girl. Be sure to include LOTS of pictures along the way. Be sure to check out Brandon's (Vetteman) thread on his 71 Pontiac Grand Safari. That is the kind of thing we LOVE to read and follow along.
