I finally found a set of stainless M8 bolts to mount up the new to me side mirrors and gaskets I picked up from @npulver (thanks again man).
Gotta figure out a plan with the extra 43 holes the PO’s left me on both sides. Anyone got a good idea? Maybe some sort of plastic button insert?
In other news I picked up a set of roof rack mounts for a simple roof rack. Any wagon of mine will have a roof rack of some sort, they’re so practical to me. Well mount up some custom crossbars for a low buck/high function solution.

Maybe so Bob. I’m not looking to mess with paint on this one. I have had luck in the past filling holes with a copper backer but that was when I was willing to repaint the car too.

The boys have been disassembling, breaking corroded parts free, honing fresh bores, and getting our wheel cylinders cleaned up for paint and rebuilding.
Got 8 new rebuild kits from Kurt and the gang… well pop them in as soon as the paint dries!
8 little piggy toes. Gotta keep ‘em separated.
The boys worked hard, polished up with some 600 grit and elbow grease. The wheel cylinder bodies are getting a soak in our de-rusting juice over night.

Last up for the week is we’re reworking the bumper. We chopped off the bent up ends and we’re going to weld up some new ends and shape them to my liking. We need to pound some sections flat and start welding. Gotta’ love handing a 15 year old a wire wheel grinder and let him grind like his grade depends on it! Haha
If it doesn’t work out we will cut the mounting plate off and start over. I don’t like the mounting brackets as they sit. Gotta’ think through it a bit more
Couple of places we need to massage before messing with the ends caps.

Don't forget the anti-seize to the adjusters, and impress upon your students the importance of the anti-seize...
