As most of you know,Wolly the blue 240 wagon is toast , courtesy of 6500 lbs. of SUV. Since its project thread was post-mortem/celebration of car-death, it seems appropriate to actually have a thread for the new car. It will be and is currently receiving many donor parts from the squished '88.
First off - many, many thanks to SteveMD for passing this wagon along to my concussed self. It means a lot to me.
The goal of this car is to be moar better.
Better from the start: It's a '93 - everything that goes along with being a '93 gives this car a good head start.
Current goodies that make this a better car than Wolly: 25mm front IPD swaybar (23mm before, now bent), Bilstein HDs (Koni adjustable, one now bent), M47, no rack, minimal dings/rust.
Future plans include: E-codes, Wolly's springs - 350 lb/in fronts, 250? lb/in rears, Wolly's True-Trac diff., A or B cam (short term), + Tuuurrrrbo (long term), lightened flywheel, Old blue/black interior, Hello Kitty decorum. Location of said Hello Kitty stylin' is TBD and up for debate or suggestion.
Thanks and stuff: Paul Schuh, you're awesome. Steve, you're awesome too. Towery, thank you for your omniscience. Thank you most to Dad, for letting me use your tools, and for cobbling expertise. Thank you especially for getting me a 240 wagon nearly 10 years ago and then for making it awesome, and then making me race it.
