    Thanks everyone for the welcome!

    I've had my wagon now for about a year and a half. I bought it off the original owners in CT who bought it with a whole 17 miles. It has just about every factory option except two or three. Car was always garaged by the p/o's as well which really kept most of the rust off. The car wasn't quite what I wanted, but for the price and the fact that the owners documented everything service wise I knew this car was for me. Mechanically its been great however over the past couple months the fuel system was fighting me between a round of bad replacement fuel pumps and a bad replacement sending unit. But otherwise the car has been a dream to drive and own. I've driven it about 7k since i've bought it without a single hiccup.

    As for mods and work i've done the following:

    • Removed the woodgrain (yes, I know this is a sin, but I have a goal for it being removed)
    • Vinyl bucket seats from a 9C1 police car
    • Hyundai Azera center console
    • Tinted windows
    • carpeted cargo mat
    Coming soon:

    • 9C1 digital instrument cluster
    • finishing the bodywork, plus a full paint job
    • Remove all the beltline trim as most is peeling/pitted
    • sandblast the frame and floors and repaint/rustproof
    • chrome piping on the sides of the car
    • body paint colored 15x8 rally rims
    • Cadillac bumper guards
    Few more pictures:
