troyt Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Two wagons in one weekend, must be a record! How many total now at the Chop Shop? Quote Link to comment
hillbillyhector Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 this'll be the sixth 510 wagon I've owned...(but right now, including the boxflared 4x4 thing...there's four wagons here) Quote Link to comment
hillbillyhector Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 some bad: -of course, cracks in the dash. -found rust in the bottom corners of BOTH front fenders! -hasn't run in over ten years, (unknown reason for being parked) -although I have seen, and ran (weber 32/36, pertronix distributor, fresh batt and fluids!) worse. -the hatch glass and rear quarter glass was removed by PO?...(luckly I have multiple replacements) -rear quarter was replaced at some point (although the panel seems to line up spot-on...it was riveted on!) some good: -never been hit in the front! -other than the front fenders, no major rust, and super clean floor pans -all original paint, (save the replaced rear quarter panel.) -came with a O.E. gas cap!! -sparkly blue door panels and rear seat in good shape! I arranged to buy this thing a while ago, and while I had the 710 on the trailer, I figured it made sense to drop one off (went to my oldschool panel-beater bodyman for sheet-metal massage) and pick this one up (finally) since I was out that way...

hillbillyhector Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 didn't want to double-post, so I started another thread for the 710 build: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/25059-hectors-710-wagon/page__gopid__358651#entry358651 Quote Link to comment
