Here's pretty much how it looked when I brought it home;
After two months I've managed to wet sand a decent amount of the oxidation off and have gotten down to the original gold paint in a lot of areas, burned through to the primer in others and have found bare metal in some. The attempt at wet sanding was stopped and what was left of the paint was buffed. It will get a full repaint on the car once the dings are worked out. It's a 2.6 with weber carb and 5 speed, has AC and all it needed was a charge. It's been working great since the fill.
Recently Mitsubishi of North America put on the annual "Mitsubishi Owners Day" for the west coast in Cypress CA at MMNA's R&D facility. The wagon made the 6 hour journey across the desert and up the mountains at 75mph(120kph) the whole way with the AC blasting. It was an enjoyable ride for three people, while carrying a cooler, camping gear, camping chairs, tools, supplies, spare parts and packed bags for overnight stay. Once arrived a good parking spot was secured, the back seat of the wagon folded down with a matress topper laid out, it was the perfect bed to catch a rest for 6 hours before the show started. Once it started the Wagon was one of only 3 older mitsubishi's present. Next year should have more considering the coverage the only three got this year.

My friend Mo also made the 6 hour trek out in his 2.6 starion powered lancer celeste. It's tough.
and Most noteably Matt made it out in his beautiful Galant GTO GSR
