I don't know why you did that way around?
much easier, quicker and stronger to go SA frame and graft on IRS brackets sourced from a IRS frame and not using after market brackets.
unless you go to the extreme and splice the SA "tuning fork" in half bringing it back to factory sheet stampings then stitch them back together on
the IRS frame.

Just some updated photo's of the work thats been done over the last month. I managed to find a local guy that has restored many cars over the years
to straighten the body. Nothing too major but did have alot of small dings that needed filler, no rust which I am happy about. Last weekend I finally
got it etched and primed. Now im in the process of blocking back the guide coat. I now have huge respect for panel beaters, this shit is hard and
dirty work.

Satori, this looks great so far. There are not too many of these older wagons in the West. It would look awsome as a panelvan...I am looking forward
to seeing how it comes out. |

I finally got around to preping the car ready for paint. Man it takes soooo long just to getting it to painting stage and then there's sanding and
buffing. I can see why 2 pac is the way to go, instant shine. All went with out too much hassle. I ended up spending twice as much on paint as couldnt
get the right colour. The little colour swatches totally look totally different when sprayed out. I would still go lighter if I had more time. But
pretty happy with the colour.

do you need 4 original inserts
hey satori... mate credit to you. whats the colours. is it like a deep cream? ok dont take this the wrong way... if i had to be critical of only one
thing it would be how you finished the black paint down the front pillar... the angle thing haha i just would have cut it straight or extended it down
still love it though.
cheers matty

Yeah it does look like it comes down quite abit on an angle but most of it is behind the windscreen rubber. I checked out so many photo's of 2 tone
paint jobs and really didnt like the ones where it was cut off straight, it just looked odd. The below pic is the look im after......

i like the way the two tone finishes on the pillar, blends nicely and will be nicly hidden behind the window rubbers
can you show/tell me where (from your research) the colour changes around the gutter line - I've always been between opinions (with myself) if the
colour change should happen inside or outside the gutter, I painted one car with the roof colour up and over the gutter line and one right on the top
edge of the gutter line...
ps: great looking square so far, looking forward to more progress... cheers Ben

Its been a long time since any updates. I got really lazy and pissed off with the build for a few months. Just kept hitting a brick wall every time I
tried to finish something. Always not having the right bolts or the thread being stuffed. Anyway ive got the ball rolling again, so should be ready
within the next month. These pic's are from a couple of months back when I first cut the paint back. Its was a very happy moment to finally see all
the hard work pay off. It turned out amazing.
