    It looks like the front doors came from a Ranchero (Torino?), but where did he get the rear quarter windows? :confused:

    Thanks for the cudos. Nope, but I'll be back on it, now that we're almost out of snow. We're getting high winds right now (55 MPH).

    The Zephyrs are a sharp car. Mercury always did a nicer finishing/detail job. But my wagon was rust-free, Mexican built, and we bought it and drove it there for 4 years and back to Canada in 1999. Mexican Fairmonts with AC got more undercoating and sound-proofing, so the car was spared any rust issues.

    But I lucked out with the one and only Zephyr in a junkyard and scored the seats from a 4-door sedan. Mine were in good shape even though they were Velours, but I wanted the nice buckets from this 1981 with the individual armrests. I'm doing a few other changes to it too, after I get it all up and running.

    Here's where I'm tracking the final assembly stage:
