New Project: ‘64 Valiant Wagon
The car was last registered in 1990. It's been sitting in a garage since then. Most of the roof collapsed 5 or 10 years ago and leaves collected on the roof, rusting it through in the middle. If only someone had taken care of it ten years ago it would have been in great shape...
I haven't been able check underneath yet but it was on a concrete floor so hopefully it's not too bad. The floorpan is pretty bad, at least in the front, so that may lead to problems with the frame. The back doesn't look half bad though.
If the rust is too extensive underneath, I guess I'll have to part it out; but I'd rather try to save it, if I can. I'm definitely NOT going to paint it: that perfect blend of rust and original paint is hard to come by in this area.
