So, the wagon got some love today (or "redrocket" as my mates like to call it)

Repairs
I've been having a really bad creak.. almost a knock when turning which is a sign of worn strut top bearings.
Replaced them and sure enough the noise was gone, steering is also lighter which is nice.
While i was there i put in some new link pins.
All she needs now is the castors done and she's set.

Cleaning
Gave her a wax just because i finished work early and knew the paint would respond well.
Used a trim detailer on the side skirts and trims on the roof, come up a treat

Ive purchased a VZ wagon, its clean but owner said it doesnt start and suspect a blown motor.
Will make a thread for it soon.
Its just going to be a fix and sell project.
