NEW DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL GREASE SEAL AND COMPLETELY NEW BLUE MARINE GRADE WHEEL BEARING GREASE ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL BEARINGS AND INSIDE THE DRUM.

I HAVE NEW LIFETIME WARRANTY NO RECEIPT REQUIRED FRONT BRAKE SHOES AND NEW REAR BRAKE SHOES FOR IT.

JUST FINISHED DOING THE FOLLOWING TO THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL: BROUGHT THE ORIGINAL STEEL RIM DOWN TO THE METAL ( DATED 11-58 ) AND PAINTED IT. BROUGHT DRUM BRAKE DOWN TO METAL & PAINTED IT. METICULOUSLY REMOVED ALL OLD GREASE FROM INNER AND OUTER WHEEL BEARINGS AS WELL AS THE DRUM AND REPACKED THEM WITH FRESH BLUE MARINE GRADE GREASE. INSTALLED NEW GREASE SEAL. INSTALLED BRAND NEW MADE IN USA WHITE ALL COOPER TIRE ON THE ORIGINAL RIM.     

WHEN I FIRST TOOK OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE DRUM TO INSPECT AND TO MAKE SURE THE MADE IN USA NEW OLD STOCK BRAKE WHEEL CYLINDER I PURCHASED WAS CORRECT AND IT IS. IT DIDNT LOOK LIKE IT NEEDED MUCH AS THE WHEEL CYLINDER ON IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. THE BRAKE SHOES STILL HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF MATERIAL AND THE OUTER MADE IN USA TIMKEN WHEEL BEARING LOOKED IN REMARKABLY GOOD SHAPE AS IF IT HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED NOT LONG AGO OR COULD IT BE THE ORIGINAL ?     

THIS WAGON CAME WITH AND OLD ADVERTIZEMENT BOOSTED ABOUT IT HAVING INDEPENDANT FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS SO THEY ARE LIKE OVERSIZED FACTORY BUCKETS.  THE TOP OF THE FRONT SEATS NEED APOLSTERY AND BOTTOM COLORS DONT MATCH SO THEY SHOULD BE APOLSTERED. THE REAR TOP OF THE SEAT IS IN REMARKABLY GOOD SHAPE AND HAS THE STOCK BOTTOM BUT THE BOTTOM NEEDS APOLSTERY. I CONSULTED AN APOLSTERY GUY AND SAID HES GETTING SOME ORIGINAL LOOKING SEAT MATERIAL SOON.  THE WHITE HEADLINER IS IN REMARKABLY GOOD SHAPE. ALL DOOR PANELS ARE THERE.

MOST OF THE ORIGINAL VYNIL FLOORING IS STILL THERE AND THE METAL UNDERNEATH IS IN GOOD ENOUGH CONDITION TO FIBERGLASS.  I TOOK A POWERFUL CONTRACTORS SHOP VACUUME AND THOUROUGHLY VACUUMED UNDER THE STOCK FLOORING MATERIAL AND CHEMICALLY TREATED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT THREE TIMES IN PREPARATION FOR FIBERGLASSING.  

THE FIRST PICTURE OF THE MOTOR SHOWS HOW I GOT IT AFTER I INSTALLED ITS AIR FILTER. WITH ITS OLD OVERSIZED BATTERY AND OLD BRAKE MASTERY CYLINDER. THE NEXT PICTURE OF THE MOTOR HAS THE NEW SPARK PLUG WIRES. NEW SPARK PLUGS. THE NEW DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR. nbsp;THE AIR CLEANER INSTALLED WITH NEW AIR FILTER AFTER BEING BLASTED INSIDE AND OUT AND HAND SANDED AND ITS NEW BATTERY.  THE NEXT TWO PICTURES OF THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT IS LESS THE AIR FILTER. LESS THE NEW BATTERY AND LESS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO FACILITATE HOURS OF SANDING TO BRING SOME OF THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT METAL TO A SHINE IN PREPARATION FOR NEW ORIGINAL PAINT.  LAST TWO PICTURES OF THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT SHOWS THE BRAND NEW MASTER CYCLINDER PAINTED A DARK BLUE METALLIC IN ITS PLACE JUST ON FOR THE PHOTO BUT REMOVED TO SAND ALL ADJACENT AREAS IN PREP FOR THE NEW ORIGININAL COLOR PAINT BEFORE BEING PERMANENETLY INSTALLED.  THE NEXT PICTURE SHOWS THE MASTER CYCLINDER AREA AFTER BEING SANDED TO THE METAL IN PREP FOR NEW PAINT.  LAST STEP BEFORE MASTER CYCLINDER AREA PAINT IS TO SAND BLAST PESKY LITTLE CREASE JUST ABOVE MASTER CYCLINDER AREA I CANT GET TO MANUALLY.
