I bought a Valiant Wagon last night. My plan is to give it to my daughter for graduation in a few weeks and help her slowly restore it.
It's a 1963 wagon, it runs and is currently registered. Overall it's in decent change, first thing I'm doing on Tuesday is having the brakes inspected and a tune up. I did manage to open the rear hatch this morning and noticed one of the hinges is busted off (rust) I may try to find a replacement but I think it may be tough. I'll probably end up media blasting it, welding and reinforcing the area and coating the inside with POR 15, I also have to locate part of the housing to open the back window.
I've been doing some research and I notice that a lot of parts are interchangeable with other early Plymouths.
Should be fun, looks like a good forum.
Looking for the rest of this:
