Been a while since the last update, that's because not much has really happenedd until last weekend. Been busy with the uni semester and work, 2 weeks left of uni and then I'm done for this semester so I can focus a lot more on the wagon build!

So last time I mentioned about drilling the roof off, so this called for purchasing some spot weld drill bits. It's a special drill bit used for drilling through just the spot weld, then forcing the layers of metal to pop away from one another.

Here are a few teaser photos as we started off. We had to wire brush the rain channel sealant out to try locate the spot welds. Upon drilling some of them we went all the way through, was sometimes hard to do it perfectly.

Drilling out all the spot welds was interesting, as we were trying to get it done within the late arvo/evening I put the phone down to focus, so no other photos mid way taking it off.

The whole drivers side of the roof was rusted so we just pried it upwards and it quickly came lose. Upon getting the roof off we came to realise it actually isn't too bad. Chassis side theres 2 layers, the top one on the drives side is mostly rusted away, however the under piece is still good condition just needs a wire wheel and she's sweet. All of the passenger side apart from a very small section at the rear is fine, just some surface rust. I'll spam a ton of photos, the order of the photos is from the rear of the car -> passenger side -> front -> down drives side to the rear.

The finished product:
