Starting over

Decided to start over. After having all my good body parts stolen and seeing all the rust repair that was required after sand blasting the shell I decided to look for a different body. I looked at some Mustangs and some 2-door Fairmonts but they weren't what I was looking for, I really wanted a wagon. I don't know if you guy's know this but finding a Fairmont wagon, let alone a clean one is pretty tough, there aren't a lot of them out there. After searching Craigslist I found one in Oregon, a low dough, no option, non running V-8 car. The guy was great to work with,especially being 1700 miles away. He sent me lots of photos and after looking them over we agreed on $350 for the car. Then the fun and the shock started, it costs a lot to ship a non running car from the middle of no where Oregon to Minnesota, but $1200 later and two different transport company's it arrived last night. I can't believe how clean this thing is, I was dreading working on the old one but I'm looking forward working on this one. It looks like my giant pile of parts will finally become a car. Once I get things squared away in the garage and my boys show me how to post pictures I'll get some on here.

it might sound expensive, but its alot cheaper than rust repair.

$1550 won't do alot of bodywork.Sounds like you got a good deal! Congrats

Fairmont wagons are cool....how about some pics

I'll have some pics up soon. I do bodywork for a living and I was NOT looking forward to all that rust repair. I scored with this one, nothing better than starting with a nice, clean piece, it was money well spent and the best part is the car is cleaner than I expected.

A good BBF in a Fairmont wagon= Good wheelsup action.

seen a good looking fairmont wagon at the local yunk yard last week looked to be rust free not sure what he would want for it it has the inline 6 in it

Get ahold of S&W race cars.
One of their salesmen runs one and its a ass-kicker. Nice guy. I cant remember his name. He likes to talk about the car, and Im sure would be a help to ya.
