Yup, passed both inspections with flying colors!!! :giggedy:

Despite what the inspection sticker says a mechanical inspection on a passenger vehicle does not expire over time, it does on a highway tractor though, but they just use the same sticker.

Now the fun begins. :D

Already have my 600 eddy and ceramic coated headers on the way to me! :)

Here's the story in "copy and paste" form. :D

Here is my wagon, 1979 Diplomat Station Wagon, Mild 360/3-Speed OD, 8-3/4 w/ 3.23's!
I bought this car in the spring of 2000 for $250 CND! It was running and driving 318 w/ LeanBurn/904, 8-1/4 w/ 2.46's. It was an ugly dark brown with fading vinyl wood grain and sport trim. The only rust this car had was a thin passenger floor board, the hatch was leaky and toasted the very tips of the rear quarters by filling them with water.

I spent most of the summer of 2000 fixing it up body wise, I removed all the stainless body trim did a very sloppy job IMO on said "body work", Painted it Light Atlantic Blue (Factory 2001 FORD Color ).

Then in the fall of 2003 I did the mechanical, tossing out the 318/904 for a 360 from a '76 Monaco the 3-Speed OD from a '84 D-100, and the clutch and pedal assembly from a Aspen Sport Coupe.
