That's a cool car to fix up. You should show more of it.
We had an old green Ford LTD Squire station wagon when I was growing up. We got it from my grandfather. He used it as a schoolbus to transfer some of the local country kids to the actual school bus. There were seats you could fold up in the back and fit extra people. I think he used to get 10 or 12 kids into that thing. It was a tank.
It'd be cool to fix that up too. The guy we sold it to was using it into the early nineties. Oh well. I guess that ship has sailed. It's definitely not as nice of a car as what you're working on. I still think it would have been cool though.
The station wagon has gone the way of the dodo. Nowadays they are smaller, rounder and they call them crossovers.
Unfortunately a tree hit it a couple years ago. Flattened the back a arm a bit and busted out the tailgate window and a side window. It's was sitting for about 8 years before the tree. Hopefully the frame is still straight, it's tuff but it took a good hit. On the bright side before I parked it years ago the engine was rebuilt. It's got dual flowmaster mufflers. The tranny was rebuilt with a knarly shift kit. Demon carb that kinda sucks lol. The interior was always kinda shot since I had it, but I put a nice new bench seat in the front. Kind of a long term project since I'm not that great at working on cars lol. The body work and finding the windows is gonna cost quite a bit too... I might eventually trade it for an r.v. after I get it fixed up more.
