XC Ford Falcon 351 Crusty Wagon Project: I find an XC guard for $50! But it needs LOTS OF rust work.

Hello and welcome to episode 26 of Missle industries crusty wagon project!
This episode started all the way back on ANZAC day afternoon while I was on Marketplace looking for XC parts and up pops a seller looking to off load three clapped out guards that he had dragged out from behind his shed.
One of the two right side guards looked worth a punt so I messaged him with a $50 offer for just the guard that I wanted rather than all his scrap and he accepted! Unfortunately the guard was quite a bit worse than the photos revealed but with a wrinkly donor guard at home to use for repair panels I decided to grab it anyway.
After working on the guard over the course of two weekends I finished with something that I would be happy to bomb with primer and bolt onto the car!

Good job! I spent many hours bringing my xb guards back to life. The rare spare inner and outer lower sections aren't the best. You scored well with that guard. I scored a panel van door of fb for $80 😊

[@Missleindustry]

I haven't tried any aftermarket panels yet, I will probably get one for the tailgate as I'm out of flat scrap. $80 for a coupe shaped door is a score.

oh, my heart sank for you when i saw that babe poo yellow very rusty guard, but as you say you had a red hot go at it, well done my man.

It's not baby poo it's banana blush baby poo can be anything from black to green so do you call them colours baby poo too

[@gordonflash8976]

@@stephenblom8638 yeah, I know I had some children a while back and changed them frequently. Yes, sometimes when it is black, I'll say that it is Meconium Black just to get a reaction or a rise out of someone. Got one this time to hay. 😉 Cheers. At least your brain works fine. With some the whole nasty topic goes floating over the top of there heads and they miss it altogether. Sorry if i have upset you. some like me just decided to never grow up, It can be a problem from time to time with the mrs too.
