That wheelarch looks pretty incredible! Is that all metal?

[87gtVIC]

Very nice work.

And off we go to the other side.
Now when I bought the car, the owner said an exhaust shop had reversed the car into something and damaged the trim around the marker light. He also said the panel had not been damaged.

Heres a photo of the trim just after it was taken off



and another from the back



That is a mess.

So, was the metalwork damaged? see for yourself





You bet it was! Difficult to tell from the photos, but it was crumpled around the marker light and the body crease line.

Here it is again after a few hits with a hammer. The masking tape is to stop the british rain from gtting in!



Again, difficult to tell but the crease line is almost straight now, so the rest will follow.

Its all metal!! Took 4 hours of panel beating to get the shape back!
Good job I've got no social life:smirk:

Don't think I'll be doing any work on my wagon today!!

I'm glad that someone is putting this level of workmanship into one of these cars. I am beginning to think that these things will be considered classics in the not too distant future. Of course most folks only begin to get nostalgic once something gets rare.

Anyway, I love the deleted spare tire holder, and just about everything else.
Once again Andy, I'm impressed.

Heee! When it gets all snowy like that is when my wagon comes out to play! (Doesn't happen very often around here) Mine is a snow beast. A pair of old studs on the rear and I go powersliding around downtown portland.

[marquisman]

lol, my wagon also eats snowy roads for lunch(thats why its my snow time car!)

[andyfanshawe]

Don't think I'll be going anywhere again today! Snow 3 feet deep in places





My custom camaro is entombed in this garage!



Not even 4 x 4 's are moving today!

Hi 87gtVIC.
No this is not normal at all. Can't remember when it snowed this bad.

Heres some more!

My small everyday Nissan Almera



Our Chrysler Grand Voyager



My woody wagon



Don't think we're going anywhere soon.

Get used to it. I have a feeling it isn't going anywhere for a while. Snowfall records are breaking all over the place....here in the states, it's getting a bit out of hand, lol.

I was going to ask for a picture of the side of the car, from a bit further away, to see how the lines have been changed with the spare tire well elimination....but obviously that isn't going to happen anytime soon, lol.

Agreed there, wagons are awesome in the snow. Took a whole winter of head-scratching and fits to get the sedan to even pretend to come close.

Still no actual snow accumulation here .... yet ........

[gabegt90]

I take it your chrysler grand voyager is pretty much the same as a us just European spec?

[Merc3517]

That is just ridiculous snow.
