chevy wagon man, and merc wagon wife

[wagon mafia]

so i decided to lok up a forum such as this for my wife. we are both fans of the full size wagons. she tends to be a fan of the ford side, but i let that slide every now and again.

any ways we just picked up a 91 colony park a few days ago. wife already has the wood grain stripped off of it (too much rust trying to surface under neith of it.

have a few plans for it which i will get into a lil bit later, got to run, wifes out working on the car, and wants me to join!

What Chevy wagon do you have?

[Archangel]

Welcome dude, methinks we can be a lot of help with Ford-specific info for your lady, and some of us happen to like Chevs as well so by all means if you need help or advice ask away no matter which vehicle you're working on.

We might drive Fords but we don't hate other makes.....most of us....

well that's glad to hear that i can like my chevys and still be on here lol.

I CURRENTLY have an 86 pontiac parissian wagon. with 2 cut coils in the front, and 80's cutless rear coils springs in the rear





as soon as we buy a house and i have a some extra dollars (HAHAHA) i'm going to bag it. wife is waiting for me to figure out what kind of design i want her to do in the headliner since it needs replaced.


back to her car... ok so we ...i mean SHE.. has removed ALL of the woodgrain, 3 layers of scratched and peeling purple tint, and all most all of the exterior trim that goes around the wood grain. oh she let me take the roof rack off last night.

she needs LOTs of rust removal, tune up, and power window motors. all of which my wife wants to do, and can do after i show her how

we will get pics here soon

oh and she has carefully removed all of the trim so that it may be able to be reused by some of person that needs it!

wife who loves to work on car.....

wow

looking forward to pics. Got a 91 CV I'm resurrecting. Taking of the rack is something I've thought about. I'd never use it and I'd like to slicken it up a bit.

[wagon mafia]

and she did take some before pics!

I got some friends a little north of me that have two Caprice Wagons, a 94 Caprice Interceptor, 3 regular caprices, and one parts car that is hidden since it still has all the badges. lol. Anyways Welcome and wagons are fun to drive

My dad has an '81 Caprice Estate Wagon with a 350 Oldsmobile, and TH400 in it. It has 300K on the drivetrain, and more on the car itself. It was originally a diesel.

Its a rusted junk now, but was a fanatstic car. Has a posi, and goes everywhere in the wintertime.

My friends 94 needs transmission work, he can drive around his yard, which it's a pretty good sized yard, and then he has no gears or something. He says the filter get's clogged but it's not just the filter. So I don't know. They have a lot of them cars.
