I wish I could keep a car for that long lol... congrats on 7, I’m sure it will be a around for a lot longer

Ehh, was a daily, then sat for awhile, now a weekend nice weather car. The only things that could change me to get rid of it would be a clean early shell or a clean affordable wagon.

Hit 7 years of ownership. Install a voltmeter in place of the fader switch. That photo is still on my camera. But the car and myself are on our way back to Montana where it's already snowy so don't expect any more updates until late March or April. Hopefully I will go to an early season autocross or something.

Looks good wet.

It is great you still working your car......

Solid update. Where in the United States of America are you now?

SF Bay Area until end of December. Back to Montana 2021 for somewhere between 5-8 months. And then potentially Seattle but that last part is dependent on finding a job. And that's my life! Catch me if you can.

Haven't a clue how this hole go into my taillight, but I finally replaced it. New cover was painted at some point. It's a bit darker than my passenger side original but better than a hole. The car is filthy and is looking terrible but such is life. Also finally straightened my steering wheel on the hub. Has been off since I changed the rack last summer. Might still get a part or two more installed by the end of the year, but no promises.

Shabby chic with cool parts, I like it!

Thanks. Someday it'll get cleaned up.

But at least now you know it fits and looks AWESOME! :)

I had to take a fairly large hammer to my tow hooks. Not sure how they ended up so far out of line.

Where’s the 2.8? Or was it a 2.9?

2.9. It's in my parent's basement. I have goals to rebuild it someday. My current timing belt has a year or two left on its regular maintenance schedule (teaser).

Got a Zender replica valance. Needs some work but I got impatient and put it on early. Will remove, finish filling, sanding, and painting eventually.

Still here, not much of a revival anymore. That didn't really take off. Maybe later. Needs a wash.

the wheels are dope. no denying that.

Thanks, I've grown really attached to them. However I think next time, I'm going to put all seasons on instead of StarSpecs. The wheels are heavy are wouldn't be ideal of autox so no sense in having the grippy tires on. I'll get a set of 15's to put on for race time.
