Honestly I have not 100% figured that out just yet. I kind of want an old school hotrod, I kind of want a Lowrider, and I kind of want to put a turbo Japanese engine in it. So I’ll likely decide what the plan is as I go. Right now, I have a spare LS engine, a straight 6 chevy 230, and a turbo 4g63 Mitsubishi engine. So I may use one of those. Not sure on suspension or wheels. I don’t have any of that stuff yet.
Wow that rust is bad. Do they sell floor pans for a wagon.? I am installing a lift in my garage. How close is your lift to the wall.?It looks pretty close. Do you have any problems working on vehicles with the lift close to the wall? I am subscribed to this channel also with Ratty Muscle Cars. Keep up the good work. Thanks
I would think there is about 18 inches between the lift post and the wall. When I built the garage, I reinforced the floor in the areas where the posts are so it is about 15” of concrete with rebar in it under each post. The lift location is inconvenient at times but it’s way better than no lift at all. I can still walk all the way around if without any drama. As for the wagon - it’s super rotted! I have a brand new floor pan from the firewall to the back of the back seat. Everything behind that will need to be fabricated by me. I’m looking forward to it though. It’s going to be fun! Thanks a whole bunch for watching! I appreciate it!
I believe this is the lift that I have: www.naautoequipment.com/UNI-9KAF-B-9K-Autolift-p/uni-9kaf-b-9k-autolift.htm . Overall it’s okay. As you can see in my videos, I reversed it to have the controls on the passenger side of the lift. This also meant that I had to reverse the arms. Two things worth noting are: the locks on the arms arms are a bit finicky. You sometimes have to tap them with a hammer to get the arms to lock and prevent them from swinging. That is sort of a hassle. When letting the lift down, you also have to release the lifting locks on each side of the lift. Some of the more expensive lifts do this right from the main control area. Other than those two things, it does the job as expected. For a cheaper priced lift, it’s works as designed!

Wow man parts won't help you going to need another car but keep up the good work
If I replace enough of it, it will eventually be new again! Lol thanks a bunch for watching! It will be a fun project!
Lots of rust. Glad you braced it well. So you may have mentioned it, but what are your plans for the restoration?

That's not a Milwaukee grinder it's a Makita....

These are the tuff ones. we'll see how tuff. Be well.
Yes! Thanks for watching! It’s going to be a fun adventure!

@@projectcarrescue Thanks for the reply back. One more question for you. What is the brand and capacity of your lift? Thanks Eric
