It's been a while since I've taken real care of the old marshmallow, but yesterday she even got a wash and wax with the new wheels! I don't think I've waxed her in 2 years! And it's been quite a while since I've taken pics, too. But anyways, here's a couple not-so-great pics of the old wheels and new tires (275/40 front and 295/35/18's rear), bodywork and paint, and the stance without the airride on the Vogtlands. I've got about a thousand miles on the motor and drivetrain. So far, so good!

I need to take some better pics before I put her away. Hopefully some of the guys at the BADASS Fall Roundup today got some pics I can snag.

Anyways, the pics!

Best tire size you can run, IMHO. I have been using that combo for a long time on the SS.

We should meet in North Conway so I can give you the seats!

No, they're within a half inch of each other. 275/40's are 26.5" and 295/35's are 26" Smile

Thanks guys. Smile

Man, have I missed driving this car! And EVERY time I stop and get out somewhere, someone always comes up to me about it! Love it! Very Happy

Here's a couple pics I snapped when switching the wheels over yesterday.

Good to see it on the road. I still like that one a lot, especially the hood.

Did you clean the interior as well??

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, Mike... Wink I did a quick vacuum and armor all, but the interior is a mess. Black leather rear seat, charcoal 12 way bonnies up front, and blue door handle surrounds... She's a mess inside til I settle up on what I'm doing in there! I think I'll have all winter to think aboot it. Wink

If I can get those unlimited ruby red seats, i may just sell my bonnies... We'll see! Very Happy

I like the Armor All low sheen stuff. I hate a shiny interior! Smile

Nice looking wagon. Only thing is, I can't tell the different between the 'old wheels' and the 'new wheels'.....

It was fun reading your Subaru experience a while back. Used to like those - a lot. Not so much since reading your story. Next I notice you're considering a S4 in your future? Just take the money you threw at the Subbie, double it, then throw in horrible engine compartment access for the whipped cream........ I had a used A6 for a while. Money pit. But if you're jumping in, get a S6 instead. Nicer ride and handling.

So I searched my hosted video archive and found a lame idle video from just after I got it back together... I thought I had more. Oh well, sorry! Play it through good speakers or headphones. Wink

Here's when I first fired it with the new motor in it...





I coulda sworn I had some vids with the new exhaust on it... Those vids all had the stock pipes, summit turbo mufflers and resonators deleted. But they did have the CIA Tri-Y headers with no cats...

I am still looking.... Wink
