My 66 Valiant wagon......
So the time has come, 2 years and 40K miles later it's time for some pampering for my girl!
The engine is getting a lot of oil blow by out of the oil breather, so I think it's time to pull the motor for a rebuild. I was also forced to use her for a partial winter vehicle and it really show me some soft areas on the car.
So I'm doing this in segments right now since I hate not having her to drive! We're tackling the engine compartment/nose first. With this my sons and I will be doing the engine rebuild, maintenance on the transmission and prep and paint and detail.
Past couple of weekends, we got the motor, tranny, K member/front suspension pulled, engine compartment stripped out and started the metal prep........ slowly but surely it's getting there.
We were planning on going with a gunmetal metallic paint with a maroon interior, but since seeing the white epoxy primer on her, I think we'll be going with a bright white. I'm a sucker for white vehicles, have had a few.
