Hey guys as some of you may know a about 1 month ago my TE wagon was written off.... since then i have been searching for my next project gemini and i finally found one, and im so excited to start from scratch

180xxx kms

Currently in the process of getting it roadworthy!

Things to do:

- Re-spring drivers seat (DONE)

ok im working on it in the morning and tomorrow night, so ill have some pics up tomorrow, would it pass a roady if i were to weld plates in, clean up the welds, respray it and pop in a lined parcel shelf?

Which mechanic?

If you replaced the parcel shelf cover (cardboard bit) and cleaned up the metal hoels you'd prebably find most RWC guys wouldn't notice the difference.
