I bought my wagon going on 3 years ago pretty rough but managed to replace the rusted out floor boards etc, turned out pretty good for someone who never touched a welder a little bondo and carpet who will ever see all of the mistakes So I went looking for a motor ended up with a 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis Park lane Station Wagon 5.0 and AOD from an auction $300.00 ran great I removed all the wiring front to rear and put it in the wagon :eek: then set up the engine and trans for the trasplant used stock early 302 mounts oil pan wouldn't clear cross member 3/8 plate fixed it, modified the trans cross member and bolted every thing in in place and looks good.:thumbsup:

Now the wiring or should I say it looked like a mass of chicken guts (or reasonable facsimile there of) and maybe I should have bought the wiring harness and struggleing with wiring diagrams from a 55 ford and a 1986 Merc, every thing finaly came together and the electrical is partally completed I have basic lights brake,turn stop etc.
My plans are to run 2 1/2'' exhaust and a set of good flow masters from a set of headers from a 85 Mustang.
I can see it is going to be another year before it hits the road but I know it will be worth it despite all the frustrations

The floor repair looks great! Are there other rusted out areas or were you lucky?
