Thanks for the add. I've got a 1964 Mercury Commuter

Thanks for the add. Hopefully I can find some of the bits and pieces I'm missing here. She's under construction at the moment but should be back on the road pretty soon.

 

Interesting picture. Is the box a counter weight?

 

Haha no it's the new front windshield which has yet to be installed.

 

You know it goes on the other end?

 

What year is your car? Was it difficult to get a new windshield?

 

On the bottom end? I thought that's where the tires went. Haha yeah it was kind of a pain. It's a 64. I scowered the entire inter webs till I finally found one at Pilkington Classics.

 

Excellent find. When I was doing my own scouring for quarter panels for our Beaumont, I came across an entire wagon complete with all the glass, in Texas. I really wanted to head to Texas and trailer the whole thing back home but hubby didn't agree. So the quarters were cut off and shipped. I still wish we had gotten the rest on that car.
Isn't it rewarding finding these parts after a darn good scour?

 

Is this your intro thread? Should I be welcoming you to the site? or have I already done that in another thread?

I'll go check...

 

aboard.

 

It appears to be.
Welcome aboard mj2638

 

Yeah luckily it's got the same front windshield as a Marauder and Galaxie so it wasn't too uncommon. I'll probably have to have quarter panels fabricated though. Thanks for the welcome! I've got a build thread I started also.

Welcome mj2638!

 

Welcome aboard!
It looks like a straight, original wagon, despite the rust, of course. Are the quarters the only rust areas? How about the floors, etc?
I will check out your build thread.

 

Yeah quarters seem to be the only rust on the car. Floors are all solid. It came out of the desert in Idaho.

 

mj , glad you found SWF and its always good to see another Merc from Downunder
