145 Express

Nice project - you fixed the rust very efficiently. The roof occupies the same space and the rusty panels below the roof were replaced

Keeping the '70s stickerbombed woodgrain panels?

I cant take any of the credit for the work. Its all my neighbor who can be seen in the last pic of the tailgate. He hates all foreign cars.

I would but even the wood grain panels are rusty!

I've got Express fever! Keep seeing high roof line cargo and camper vans everywhere!

Jack checked out the Express project this weekend and gave it the Polish stamp of approval.

Nope. Not the slammed 145. Note the blinkers. Travis in Rancho is getting the slammed 145.

thats mine actually

^ Hey Jason is that even an option for you to just cut the roof off and find a better body?

The old car was a pile of ****, rust and bondo EVERYWHERE. There was rust even under the express roof..part where it attaches to the original roof. Jason did the right thing... and even removed the ****ty sunroof.

it would take a really stupid person to try to save the "original" body of that car.

83glt you should do the same with your swamp find

They were all very well used. Way more than a standard wagon.
