| So I have been busy lately, making money at work and then working on my junk at home, I got an 8.8 swaped into the wagon, bucket seats and a console out of a mustang(No pics of that yet..) This is what it looked like before if you guys forgot. Its hard to see if the pictures but the QP on the driver side had a huge dent in it that was filled in with bondo by the PO, and the passenger front door also was quite dented. I left alot of the dents alone, I'm not a body man, and I think they give the car character, lol. So I stipped the car down, and sanded the crap out of it, filled in some of the small dents. We(My Dad, myself and a friend) hung plastic from the ceiling in the garage, and wet the floor down when I painted it. Not very good pics, its pretty small in there lol. I painted the front end separate. So this is what I ended up with, its no where near perfect, but thats not the point. I drive it daily, and its going to get messed up. Its the Duplicolor black with metallic clear. I thought that last one was a nice pic with a friends mustang. I am stoked with it, hopefully it stands up to the abuse of daily driving lol. Thanks for looking guys. | |

| ^Thanks, and yes I am very happy with it lol. I have had it grey primer for 2 years now, I am sick of the jalopy comments lol. I am happiest that its done though lol, body work is not my favorite. My race car will get alot more attention, but I wont be trying to do that one in a weekend. Now, suspension time, I just put in some MAC rear low control arms, and I picked up a 1.25" Front sway bar, to go with the rear sway bar from a turbo coupe I picked up. Then I will be upgrading the brakes. | |

| Looks sharp man! I wish I could track down a set of those mesh style rims. But yeah the wagon looks good and I bet you chew up a few ricers with it. | |

| How much of the Duplicolor paint did it take? What kind of gun did you use? Looks real good.
I have a set of those rims. How much you think they are worth to you? | |

| Thanks guys, I love the rims too, but I want a more road racy set of tires, to go with the big sway bars and Ford racing "C" springs I plan to install in the spring. Ricers are a joke now I used about 3 quarts of primer, 3 quarts of black and 3 of clear. 1 clear was metallic clear. My gun is a 70$ gun I bought from Princess Auto(Our Harbor freight) I have maybe 250-300 bucks in the paint job. | |

How much you think they are worth to you? I don't know, maybe a couple hundred bucks? But yeah I had MAACO quote my Zephyr for like 400 bucks and thats going back to stock color or any color I choose. But 300 bucks isn't bad for a home paint job. | |

| Yourr wagon looks great. I saw the video you madewhen you first put the 302 in. I'm currently putting a 90' roller motor in my Zephyr Villiager Wagon. Pulled the injection off and put a 4 barrel on it, painted the block ford blue so itlooks like a 289. But it's got an E series cam , long tube hearers and under drive pullies. It's mostly left over parts from my 90 LX that I put a stroker in. It's stoke silver with the wood grain, and a roof rack. Should be a kick in the but to chase the 'fast n furious' little dicks !!! | |

| You know, around hear those little rice rockets stay far away from me......Dont know why, maybe the rumble of the exhaust and the car wobbles from the big cam.... Though I did beat the snot out of a '04 or so vette .....that was pretty cool. | |

| Yeah, the Mustang with the 347 is fun, but the roll bar and the cowl hood kinda gives it away. But the Zephy should be a real sleeper.It's got 2 1/2" pipes out to the rear bumper that I ran with the 6 cyl. and a set of Mustang Turbines, and 2 " lowered springs. The rest looks stock as hell. There,s some pics in the site some where, under Patwagon when it had the 6 in it. I might just put the stock silver paint back on it. Just depends how it runs. Later Pat | |

Good job. What size are the tires? Naw, I'm in Hamilton, Ontario. The tires are P265/50R15's on the rear, and 205/50R15's on the front. The rears are to wide and scrape, and the fronts are to small lol. I want to get P245/50R15's for the rear and P225/50R25's for the front next spring. | |

Thanks a bunch, your wagon should be a fun ride too. Its far to much fun beating on people on the streets. My favorite guys to beat are the G35's and the BMW's, the other night I took a new M3, and a newish Jag with the supercharged engine. Good times lol | |
