Midge the wagon progress

[bridgegaurd]

Finally got Midge home and was able to spend a hot day in the garage (105 outside 85 inside) cleaning out the trash, dirt, and rotted indoor outdoor carpet.
Much of the carpet turned to a bright green dust. And as much as i cursed the glue that was used as i peeled and scrapped. I belive this was what saved much of the floor from rotting.
Floors are in pretty good shape as are the rockers,no rust thru. And seat unbolted with ease.
Next task is to wire brush the floors and coat with POR15 which i need to complete this week, so Midge can go into storage while i do another stint in Guam. Heres some before and after pics.

Cool, looks like your having fun. Your wagon is a '60 right?

Is Anne's donated rear seat going to fit in there? I was wondering what the difference in the mounting of the 4 door rear seats versus the 2 doors would be, never having had a wagon. Sounds like a good, solid foundation of a car, though. I may kick myself for not pulling the trigger on that 4K blue wagon there in AZ. [8D]
BTW, wasn't it Good Morning Viet Nam that had the line, "Guam? Nothing's going on in Guam!"... Oh, that's right, it was just radio.

Dude thats harsh,i have to spend at least ten months there this time versus the year the last time.
It's hard to take, a drive along the beach each morning, coffe on the beach each evening. But then there's that 8-10 hours work in between and only one stude on the whole island. Something always ruins paradise.
It's a busy place what with the 3.8 billion dollar project to move the 4k plus marines and families from Okinawa and all the speclative operators moving in for the feast.

Am going to try the seats this afternoon,after i remove the 3/8ths plywood from the sides and remove the rest of the miracle carpet
