Well i haven't posted any project threads for a while. I think its time to start another.
I'll combine them all into the one thread as each one is moving at snails pace and add to it as and when things happen.

I have a problem that has been gaining momentum with Nissan products in wagon or large sedan.

Most on here know that we have a 230 model 240C Station Wagon / Van - Long term project which has sat at least covered in the barn for the last 5 odd years. Not alot has happened although i have collected a few bits and pieces for it which i will get pics of soon.

I absolutely fell in love with this shape - especially when i found photos of these ones on the inter webs for inspiration.

I knew of a couple of parts cars around so thought if it was missing anything i should be OK. Sight unseen and Dereg i thought i got it for a bargain price. Got it home and, yip, its got rust - so into the shed it went (for 4 years).
Recently while dad was down we cut the side out of the shed and managed to squeeze it out between two posts (stacking non running cars together makes it very hard to use the shed door for what its intended).

Is it a barn find if you drag it out of your own barn?
