It's pretty much just a more useful STI.

Now with brakes done, front and rear, plus Quasars!

Alignment done while on the trailer. I used a bubble level app to get the trailer level. Borrowed a friend's toe plates and camber tool. Done.

5 minutes of ownership, about to receive my first offer to sell it. Hadn't even stepped out of my truck before a random guy was asking me how much.

Forgot about this one from June 2020, when I was drafted by a buddy to take his VW restomod project to the paint shop. I wasn't thrilled with it being on his homemade cart and not really having any good way of strapping it down, but luckily it was only about a ten minute tow. I considered myself lucky to not be in town when the paint was done and it needed to come back home.

Just what I needed, another car.

 

Oh boy.  Auto or manual?  (There are no wrong answers to this question)

Were you the person sending me picture texts on Sunday morning?  My phone isn't getting those, all I get is error messages and I can't see who sent me a picture text until after I receive it.

 

(also, I'm pretty sure it is a truck, but it's been forever since I've been in an older Forester to remember what its tag says)

A few weeks late, but a picture of my latest project coming home after purchase via the forum.  The wide angle makes the tow rig look more squatted than it was, and it's got a LOT of spare parts back there!

Loading inside is an extravagance, knowing that I will loading in the sun, that's racing!  Getting on and off the trailer is facilitated by the stagger of the street tires.

The front of the trailer has a reinforcement of steel added to the aluminum.  I never have to worry about tongue weight on an empty trailer.

So I cheated and paid the man to tow it, but at least he had to eat the cost of all the soiled underwear it probably took to get that up windy mountain roads in the dark.

Forgive me for stretching the definition of trailer to the top deck of a Navy transport ship...

Here are some shots of the car all done. It was great to show it to your dad at the Hemmings Cruise-in after it was finished.  He couldn't believe it was the same car.  Tiger64

Why did I sell my trailer?? Ah, yes, I was under the mistaken assumption that I have impulse control.

The only project for this one is to strip parts as I need them for other cars, but that counts, right?
