    We just picked up the wagon today. The weather was so bad this winter, I just now had a clear/clean chance to pull it home.
    Here are some pictures from today. The car is very dirty since it was in storage at the shop. Its tough to clean a long roof that has holes in the roof and on all sides!
    Plenty of pics to make up for lost time.

    As I expected when I started, more than I expected!

    I have to admit that it would be more than double if I had not done most of the work myself.

    Now the work begins! Good stuff Doc. I'd get a nice shop manual book holder, cause all the fussy stuff is going to need some really specific info that often cross references others. Looking really fine!:thumbs2:

    I finally finished rebuilding the gauge cluster. I had just finished polishing the lens when it snapped in half. I had to start over with a really rough spare. Wet sanded in steps from 1000 to 2500 then Meguiar's Plastic X. Also you can see I replaced the original clock and the original tired speedometer with NOS ones.

    Before: original tired gauges with perhaps over 194k miles?? TMU!

    After cleaning, new gauges, polished knobs and plastic bezel
