Don’t know many people in Florida but I bet we can walk you through working on it. They’re relatively easy to work on. Expect the heater core!
Got a place to work on it and a little free time?

I love this thing. I was pretty big into regular models as a 10-16 year old. The resin adds some extra work but I think with time I could pull it off. You really need a model car junkyard to make...
New heater core in the back seat? Just a guess?
I knew a lady who had a 98 GM with the HPP. Dark green. Great looking car. She sold it for a song and I didn’t have any need for it, so it went to...
I wonder if those could be placed elsewhere. Specifically on a wagon for my purposes haha. I can’t think of anywhere they would look good on a wagon. That’s a deal on them IMO.
It’s so new. Probably the newest one out there. I think National Parts Depot has a big collection of absurdly low mileage cars. But this one might not be up their alley.
Panther folk are all a...
Very good. Glad you used the degree wheel to check. Don’t make my mistake!
Clutch you got your wish. Got a little rubber around the block today. Accidentally really since there is not a front end anything other than a hood and latch... not exactly wanting to be drawing...

I know a 235/70R15 fits. The 75 gives you another inch. If it were gonna rub, it'd probably be the back side on the plastic inner fender liner nearest your feet.
New lights make such a huge difference. I’d say that’s good oil pressure as well. How many miles were on it when you bought it?
Looks like a nearly perfect fit. I love finding parts I forgot I had!
I’d say the Merc wagon is a good car and priced accordingly. Someone somewhere got 6 kids and a wife and all that stimulus money piling up could swing it and have a place to haul the crew in a...
Looks like a twin to my 90.
Reserve not met?!?!? They they smoking wet turds? They’re gonna wish they took that.
Almost finished installing these tonight. (Ignore the dust. It gets a bath very soon)

Got to make a wiring clip...
Gotta love a box project car. The more aerodynamic one looks pretty good too.
That green interior just kills it for me! And so many of those 79-81ish have it. It’s like the blue of 1985ish-1991ish except I like the blue better.
I wonder what was cheaper for Ford to build....
You are welcome. I have several other models of Fords but this is the only place I hang out. It’s a pretty good crew around here.
Here ya go. I'd order this one. It's aftermarket, so the fit will be marginal, but if you gotta have one, you gotta have one!

I agree with David on all these points. Cleaning IAC and throttle body, and checking the TV bushing would be my first stop. And the trans fluid.
Your TV adjustment could be a little high. What’s...
The different fittings and thread types are something that I need to learn.
So I wonder if they really wanted to do the family truckster conversion... or did they just do it for investment purposes?
Cars can be investments for some people but I sure like driving and...
Thank you. It’s been what seems like a lifetime!
Thank you. I hope it’s ready so. So ready to go cruising. I started this when I was relatively young... 28. Now I’m getting into the middle...
I like this better than the other wagon you posted and that’s saying a lot! I guess everyone in the US is flush with $600 so the price of everything goes up.
The asking price is high but it’s a nice ride. Someone got spray bomb crazy on the underside.
