I might be receiving ana.... A Merc Wagon for the first time, what are the common problems with these pension mobiles, are there any forums that specifically tailored to these cars, and where tf can I get interior parts for this thing? SO, this merc is in semi decent shape, it has ZERO TO LITTLE SURFACE RUST, aint that some poo poo. The interior is shot and looks like dogshit. I'll be replacing... well everything for the interior, dash, seats, some trim, headliner, lesbian carpet, and maybe the speakers. The exterior isn't too bad. It has a couple dents but it's repairable. Definelty swaping the 302 for a 351 with (maybe a c4 or an e4od) and a 3.73 rear w/LSD. Not trying to make it into a drag wagon, just want to make it more fun. Can anyone help this hipster repair this granny spankwagon?

Some of it's flaked away, but that woodgrain gave me a hard on the moment I saw it. I'm not too worried about the interior being 100% merc, as long as it matches/fits I could care less if it came out of a pinto. I'll post pics next time I'm with it. Plus i do have a 4 piece band lol, I might transfer the tow package from my 95 bronco onto it. seems to have a better wheel length for towing than the bronc.

Breakfast Feud posted:I have no idea where you're going to find a new interior for that car! Just came here to say you should put bigger tires on the back and give it some rake like that guy who has the century wagon did. lol it does look pretty tits

@Seat Safety Switch, Thanks for that tip, wtf is with ford and their electronics. I assumed with it being that old the wiring needs to be looked at, plus the owner said the engine does straight die if you go past 60 mph. What trannys did these things have, aod right?

Goddamn, long story short I'm supposed to help the owner (old family friend) drive this thing to Florida from VA and move his belongings to the retirement home he's going into. With that being said, I'm assuming constant load on the alternator would send this wagon in flames the moment I got on the highway.

Thanks man, what would I be looking out for when I inspect it, just frayed/exposed connections and all that?
