Question; how do you keep the engine and inside so clean and dust free? What do you use?

I meant Matt's picture

And it was only to the passenger door, although I guess technically the rear passenger door hit the rear quarter panel and the roof was buckled, but hey, go big or go home amirite?

OK restoration and modification is still in early stages. I just did some crispy new leather. I have to replace my driver side fender so all my front end pieces will line up. There is a dent in one of the rear quarter panels before a hang the rear valence and paint everything. I'll post it up when it's done. Trunk spioler and all. I'll use a better camera too.

Brian,i wish you would bite the bullet and join us again with a newtooyouu ve

I know you don't have any "feelings" for a car so to speak,but you have to admit,the 3rd gen does have a small place in your heart somewhere,unlike the cars you've owned since..

Thanks for the information! Would you need to be concerned with and sort of corrosion particularly around the battery?

Naw, as long as you completely dry the engine/electrical connections,ALTERNATOR with the leaf blower, you will not have any problems,I do this to my engine on a monthly schedule, weekly in the summertime with no issues whatsoever.

I'm still looking for a 92 VE w/o ABS w/o leather w/ A/T w/ sunroof no rust less than 150k for about $500.
but it's hard to justify spending money on it since the Subie beats it in every way except power (which can easily be remedied)

Haha so this is actually pretty funny. I dug around to find the auction, and it turned out to be in FL so clearly not the same guy, but here is what made me think so in the first place:

I'll probably use 17s tho, because i think i'd like a tiny bit more metal showing, but his looks nice as-is too. plus the tire width vs rim width changes how the sidewall flexes as well (as displayed by Aaron's MT slicks when he got wider rims). I think that overall 16s and 17s look best on our cars... I'm not much for skinny skinny rubber. tho I'm rocking stockers right now, and hopefully will have better tires to use on tuesday.

anyhow i'm done post whoring since i own a VG.
