Still slowly plugging away. Working on assembling the doors which includes changing over to power windows and power locks. Lot's to figure out here, but I purchased all of the parts pulled from another vehicle, but I don't have a good guide to use for installation. So, taking my time. I am having to clean all of the old parts, remove all of the old grease which has hardened, re-lubricate, and fix any damage to the wiring harnesses.
I also need to do the beltline fuzzies. I just ordered a set from AutoKrafters for a 4-door Galaxie and am hoping to make those work since I have been unable to locate anything specific to a Mercury wagon.
And, I have been installing the trim. All of the trim needs to be washed up, overspray paint and primer by the previous owner has to be removed, dents knocked out to the best of my ability, and a quick polish. Most of the original factory mounting hardware is shot and finding something the works has not been easy. In most cases I can find something close, but requires modification. Very tedious work.
I did drive it out of the garage the other day, so it moves under it's own power, by it also leaked some tranny fluid, most likely from where the speedo cable gets installed, but I may have a bad seal at the shift arm that needs to be addressed.
More to come...
