I bought the car on halloween last year from a guy in Snohomish, Wa and it was pretty rough. Well it still is lol but now it rides better. The motor started knocking a few months ago, so i started a z6 swap and now I am almost finished(still waiting to get a p28) So, Ill try and post a few pics of my car then and now.

The trip home

    Thanks guys, I'm glad people are liking the rally style. I know I love it. And I will be sure to post up more pics once I get the flaps on. I think Im going to paint my slips white and put them on, I think the red and white will look rallyish lol
  • Carguy717Carguy717 New Wagonist
    Well I took a pic of me just holding one up so you guys can get a little peak at what it will look like.

    Thanks man! :D I cant wait to get it finished and go to some wagon meets.

    I know you guys want to see the flaps on the car, well this is the best I can do until I get my coilovers. I finished my rear fogs then mocked up the flaps. Hope you enjoy!

    Just finished the lights and playing around with them.

    This is how i plan on installing the mud flaps so that they are all level. I will probably use 2x4's instead of 4x4's :D

    I think if you wagon was white those rally armor plates would look alot better...kinda doesn't mesh well with the Urban Brown..lol But I like how its coming together, keep up the good work!

    Thanks, and you have a point with the non-meshing colors but thats what I like about it. When people either love it or hate it, you know you're doing something legendary. lol

    Like it . Looks great .
  • adamEFwagonadamEFwagon Senior Wagonist
    i like those style mudflaps, not really feeling the color though.
    looks good so far, and the motor looks way better after you did the v/c and wires.
  • Carguy717Carguy717 New Wagonist
    Thanks for all the feedback. Makes me feel like a forum whore. lol
  • Carguy717Carguy717 New Wagonist
    Hey all, I got the wagon running today after I bought a p28 ecu. Well it wasn't that easy, my timing and firing order were off (stupid mistakes) but it runs!!! I'm super excited to drive it agian.

    Thats what I was thinking. lol I nearly fainted when I had to pay $250 for a chipped p28 from VIP, but I needed to get the wagon out of my shop.

    I think he said something about that, did you have it tuned there? After I turbo mine, I'm having them tune it.
  • Carguy717Carguy717 New Wagonist
    Update. The motor is back out due to oil problems, I thought the owner of the motor installed the head gasket wrong but thats not the case. My valvetrain is toast, and I'm assuming my oil pump is bad...
