The wagon's doing great & was released from recovery recently 700 1988

Just an update to those who've read about my wagon being returned to me in serious pain after being stolen.

Mechanically, she's ready for the world. I've still got to either get some good used tan leather front seats, or get new leather for these, but the rest of the interior is back in shape. Exterior is MUCH better now as well, but I'm still short a bump guard on the passenger door & I can't fix the dents in the hood just yet. In short, I got my baby back. She's still in need of some physical theropy, but she's got a clean bill of health.

      Hey,
      They were both under 16. They took her, made some go - mods (that are all gone now as they are parts from other stolen cars) & totally abused her.

      The police tell me that they have these "meets" where they all show up to show out. Said that they have burnout competitions, who can leave the most smoke in a doughnut type of thing.

      When I got her back, she was lifeless. All lenses were broken or missing. The hood looked as if they'd had a dance on it. Windshield was broken. Head liner was completely torn out. She didn't have any door glass. Both front seats were (still are, but using 2 trashed loaners right now) missing. The interior looked as if the car had been sitting in in the middle of a dump. Several interior items were completely gone. It just get's worse from there.

      I'm told that after they had their fun with it, they removed what parts they wanted to put on the next car they stold & trashed the rest.

      She still needs a few items & I've got to replace the hood & fenders, then paint it, but all in all, she's my baby again.
