Ha ha yeah. Well the wagon cost $400 so I just need something to stop it rusting where all the paint has washed off for now. I'll work on something better later when i can take it off the road for awhile

By the looks of things my 1200 wagon still has most of it original 34 year old paint! Everytime it rains I lose a bit more :) I want to start sanding it back and coating with primer as time permits. Whats the best way to sand it back? By hand? What power tools are available for this sort of thing.

In other words what do I need?

Thanks!

You sure do know your stuff :) Its a 1973!

I'll grab that manual like you suggest. I'll grab a 1200 one while I'm at it too. I'm sure it will come in handy.

If i was to buy a replacement master cylinder what would i ask for? A 1200 coupe one? Or is it just a generic thing?

Cheers for your help. The link to ebay is above and beyond

Aha thanks for the help.

The wagon currently has a twin master cylinder so I should be right there for the discs with the imported struts?

If I was to go with the armstrong struts and swap over the master cylinder to the 120y one would there be any other problems? Any change to the track?

Thanks

Hey all

Does it matter which 120Y struts you put into a 1200 to get some discs on the front?

I noticed that theres to different types of 120y strut. I have some struts off a 76 model just wondering before i finish cleaning them up if there the right ones :)

Cheers!
