Hello from the middle of the country! I joined this site in the hopes that other members could help me find my next project.. I'm looking for an early Valiant Wagon, preferably 60-61 with cateye taillights. I want to make a Rat Rod out of it so I have no need for front sheetmetal nor roof!
Having stated that I hope I don't scare too many prospects away! This will be reconstructed on a roadster style frame. What I'm looking for is that one in the back of a salvage yard that everyone else passes on because not much is left to restore. I care not for the condition of the floor but would like to have good repairable rocker panels and rear wheel arches along with a decent tailgate that could be welded in solid a rear bumper would be a plus! I might be asking a lot but there has to be one out there that's survived a frontal collision that hasn't been crushed yet!
