I'm really hoping the wagon will be running for this!
I might very well be interested down the road, the time and money fairy hasn't blessed me enough to take care of it right now though. Thanks for...
Hey! Thanks everyone. I have been MIA, working at the shop and the clinic puts me at 12 hour days 6 days a week. I just road tripped up to...
Oh yeah. When searching craigslist "straight 6" is just as valuable as "inline 6". DUH. Hopefully I'll have the engine by this weekend since I...
So here's the waiting part. I'm not getting hours at work, so I'm waiting on school money. The car is at Marty's so I can't tinker with it. I...
Well, waiting on the motor issue. In the mean time, Jack got me an awesome shifter knob. Just have to decide how I want to paint it now... [ATTACH]
ALSO! We have a few leads. Right now I have to wait till I get paid Tues or Weds. Then it's deciding if it's worth driving for the better deal...
That's crazy! I am a huge Creature from the Black Lagoon fan. I want to name the wagon "Rita" and do green flake like the Gill Man! Great minds,...
I think we found one! I knew Craig's List had to be good for something
Good to know! I've been combing craig's list for days, no luck. I have work and school most of the week. Hopefully I'll get out of work early...
Oh! For those who are interested I found the wiring diagram here http://www.tocmp.com/tOCMP/wiring/5765wiring%20diagrams/Ford/MWire5765-181.jpg
Or not. Threw a rod last night. Impressively threw a rod, but crapola. Now on the hunt for a cheap in-line six that I can drop in.... oh... Sunday?
I LOVE how easy it is to work on. The dash isn't stock, so I wound up upside-down on one of the seats while working on the switch issue. Thank...
Umn... I'm female. Why?
Alrighty! Headlights got fixed after some searching. I replaced the dimmer switch in hopes that it was the cheap part. No dice. Traced all the...
HMMM! Thanks for the tip. The PO installed a weird sorta-fuse box, but all the fuses are good. I will check out the switch itself a little...
Just teasing. I am a girl, I just like to give Jack heck every now and then!
I am a dude. Jack is totally gay bones for me
Hey! It's memorable. I spew happiness like that!
YES! I will post some photos as soon as I'm able. There are definitely a couple head scratchers on this one. At one point during the cleaning it...
So here goes. Thanks to student loans I can finally afford a car. I bought a 1962 Falcon Wagon that I really adore. A nice little 200 for the...
Dang You. Now there's drool all over my computer desk. I'm contemplating going with cloth seats. I wear skirts in the summer and I detest...
Well, it's in my driveway at least. Needs a lot of love, but I like it all the same
Loving this thread. I go to pick up my '62 Wagon tomorrow, I'll have to take some photos.
You're assuming the car runs anyway :p I think it'll class up the joint a bit
Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Looked at that '62 today, I think it's a done deal
Normally I just look over Jack's shoulder and make comments, and yell at Marty through the computer screen since he doesn't visit enough....
