    I've been busy lately , working on the wagon. Put the driveshaft in the other day and moved it under it's own power.
    Made an aluminum mount for the crossflow rad.

    Installed a vintage air unit and power brake booster.

    Found some missing dash pieces and cobbled a couple of knobs for the shifter and signal.

    Ran the exhaust system to the back and fitted the tailpipes through the rear pan I made earlier.

    Absolutely top notch, I could never be that dedicated.

    It's gonna be stunning, while my Brookwood slowly dissolves away.
