Brendan's Chch Initiation Project

[cheese910]

All my neighbors are old people and i have a fully fenced section
I've lived here since last Christmas and we haven't had a problem
and the dog's go off when ever anyone rattles the gate, well one of them, the puppy just sleeps.
Also I'm on Taurima street, not hei hei road.
plus the girl we have living with us at the moment often gets dropped off by her father who is big and scary and in a gang, which helps our image as to make people not want to rob us. he's a good cunt.

Bought this the first weekend of living in the datsun capital, for my new daily.
Huge thanks to Wal for initial inspection, rust repairs and body/paintwork, its going to be an awesome wagon! Its been so enjoyable learning more about bodywork, talking shit, and observing the talent youve put into the repair work!
Thanks also to Chris for committing some quality prepping labour to help us get on track for paint, much appreciated dude!!

Wagon is currently in primer waiting on final prep and blocking back for paint.
More pics to come from Wal...
