Nice looking wagon Bob.

I have a good friend who owns a later T5 turbo wagon. An amazing car. Six speeds, turbo charged five cylinder, adjustable suspension from the cockpit, all wheel drive and about 285 horses with a top speed in excess of 150. . It'll embarrass a 5.0 Mustang in a straight line and loose most anything in the curves. I want one. Badly.

Thanks Chris, Ray and Jim

The paint is Testors One Coat Lacquer Fiery Orange with 3 coats of clear. The paint went on "pebbly", probably sprayed from too far away, and there was not enough paint left for another coat so I left it for maybe 10+ years before deciding to clear it. The surface is now smooth but still looks crappy to me.

Here is a pic that shows the colour better but is out of focus...

...and some shots without the body...

...the sticker for the (P.I. ?) small dash fell off in the car and should have been easy to find...nope!

Thanks again for your interest
