I am a member over at CV.net(same user-name there) and have been following your wagon project.
I too love wagons-I am the guy that had a 1973 Mercury Montego MX wagon that had a great story.
My GF works at a car dealer in shipping/receiving, and one day a tech comes back and says 'you should see this car someone just traded in"
She calls me at work and tells me "it's this light mint green Mercury wagon...it is so clean"
I go see it after work and buy it on the spot. 351C 2bbl, C6, 9" rear, flowmasters, mint interior, added in Sony stereo(kept stock radio) added in 10-disk CD changer under driver's seat, had fold down 3rd row seat and the dual-opening rear tail gate(side-open or fold down), had American Racing rims and a tow package. Original Owner traded it in, and it had like 81k miles on it or something. When the owner came back in to drop off the rear seat, he told my GF he had more parts for it at home, so we went there and picked up even MORE parts, including original sticker, repair orders, etc.
ANYWAY...we sold it 2 months later...we ended up buying a drag car and the wagon couldn't tow it and we needed a vehicle that could.
Bought the wagon for $2300 and sold it sight-unseen for $5800.
I loved that car....wish I could have kept it.
Keep your project going, you'll be glad you did.
besides, its not like someone's going to buy it from you the way it is now, and leaving it sit for a long time will mean all the hard work you just did was for naught.
