Back On The Wagon

Patched the two rust spots today. Monday I'll get some paint and spot it in to hold it over until I get time and ambition to paint the whole car. Only other bodywork needed is just door dings.

What is that round thingamajig—the sheet-metal-holdtogetherer—really called?
 
You do great work Chris!! Wish I could have taken you up on the offer to paint the Newport and the Gremlin! I know they would have looked great!!
 
Done with the rust repairs. Color match isn't great but good enough for a temporary repair. Better than driving around with rust or primer spots.

Packed the wheel bearings, new pads and rotors. My seat will be done this week and then I can drive it!

Got my seat back and installed. Very happy with how it turned out. I do need to dye the headrests tomorrow.

I'm considering it done! I buffed and detailed it today and while it's nowhere near perfect it looks good enough that I'm not going to spend the time and money on a complete repaint. Time to drive and enjoy it! Now I have two done cars so I can switch off driving them.

Now the grandkids can hang in the back.
If they get unruly you can say " Dont make me pull over and come back there!!" Lol!!
I heard that a few times myself as a kid!!!

Good work!
That wagon would look great with tinted windows.
