Haven't done this in awhile

Since Costco started selling Subaru Pressure Washers :yes:  But really, I think this qualifies as a “Do it yourself ” Project, and not for the faint of heart. :good:

Another small project while waiting for parts. I’ve got new aftermarket European style glass headlamps and parking lamps, new rear springs since the old ones are sacked from 250,000 miles of thinking I have a Subaru Truck, and now waiting on a new fender. Perfect time to score some points with the better half. We’ve had this HF style wagon for almost 30 years and I could have replaced it with a new one for $50 bucks, but what fun would that be ? :wacko:  Painting the outside and axle mounting hardware was easy, sandblasting the rusted, pitted inside of the tub and etching, priming and tintable bedlining that part took awhile, then blasting the old wood sides with walnut shells and giving them 2 coats of Redwood stain and 4 coats of automotive clear finished off the job. Now on the days she’s up to it she can garden in style :good:

Don’t worry, it’s not going to get used much. My wife has MS, I just wanted to do something to cheer her up. It may get some flowers  and a hand shovel to plant them every now and then, on days she feels up to it. It’s too hot for her to try to do anything when it’s in the 90’s like now, but when it gets back in the 60-70 range I hope it will get some use. She’s really happy with what I did for her, and that’s all that counts :good:
