Dirty Surf Wagon Build

Bought this wagon at Kumeu Hot rod show in January
Its a 1970 VG Valiant with stock matching numbers 318 v8
over the last few months have been fixn it up to get it ready for Beach Hop

 

First we rub'd the paint back to get rid of the touch up from over the years and bring out a bit of a patina look

 

It looks great.... I think it's done!!! You should call it the brown shark!

 

Then we gave her a tune up and rebuilt the 2barrel carter carby and chuckd some points, condeser, cap, leads. plugs and elec fuel pump. recored radiator, genie headers

Found some old wheels aparently old standerd barracuda wheels??
Got them blasted an gave them a squirt of alloy silver paint and wrap'd them in white walls

 

Stoked with they way she looks with her new old feet on

 

Some shots of her finished so far, at beach hop with our longboards on

 

Sweet, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side....

 

1970? That's a bit on the "too new" side of things for here...

 

Nice work bringing her back to life...And the RH drive made me dizzy looking under the hood...like a reversed photo but some things like the carb linkage and rad hose are on the same side for both ....
