All-right!!!
It's here! Repeat, it's here!!! The "tudor" is in my driveway, and legally plated, and has the 16" cop wheels on it, and has been around the block. I like it! Crank windows will take some getting used to, of course, but that's expected.
Initial driving impressions are just as scottyshafer said. Takes a while to warm up, then runs OK. Plenty of power in a painfully-slow sort of way, shifts decent, brakes feel great. Hard to test out handling on ice-covered roads, though. Incidentally, this was also my first time driving the Eagle RS-A's in inclement weather, and I'm quite impressed.
Anyway, I'm kind of cold and tired and excited and probably not too coherent, but here are some pictures I snapped in the dark before coming inside to warm up.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

That looks niiiiiiice! I do have to request some daytime pictures ASAP, however.
Is it just me, or does the '87 look a bit forlorn and jealous in the last two photos? Better give her some love, mang.

Noice...........real noice!!! Love those taillights; that is going to be one of the swaps I do on the '86 CV. I don't know what ya got planned for that car, but if it is anything like your CP, then that'll be a real monster. And Nate's right, the CP is definitely jealous; it's kinda looking the other way. They'll get along...............eventually.

Last Squire pics will probably show up in the Squire's RR thread and be linked from the "My poor LTD wagon" thread. Too bad we finished swapping the wheels after dark, but it's all good.

And now, for pictures! I didn't feel like spending the oodles of time to upload them elsewhere, so I stuck them on Picasaweb. Linky: http://picasaweb.google.com/mcwest20...FirstGoodShots2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Thanks!
Say, you and other mangs with vinyl on the roof .... I've never dealt with a vinyl top before, so I don't really know how to keep it nice and uncracked. Do you just use something like this Meguiars or Black Magic vinyl protectant I've got in the garage?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

On the vinyl top, I would think something with UV protectant in it that still allows the vinyl to breath would be good. What that is, I don't know. Is the car getting a garage spot?
