Having recently completed a rack replacement on my VR, I'll go ahead and comment it's a pain in the ass. Not a whole lot of room with the bevel gear and sway bar in the way. If I EVER have the need to do it again with an AWD, I'll drop the whole subframe and not just the rear.

Had to get that wheel from New Zealand. Why couldn't we get cool stuff like that here?

Ballsy going out on the sand! I did that once in my red wagon, promptly got stuck. We took our family down there once, but Ryan didn't care for the wind so I had to sit in the car while my wife tried to enjoy herself all alone. Looks like you picked a great day for it!

Coming together nicely, Taras! I need to see it in person some time.

It'll fit, it's been done.

​Going for sure. Not sure if we'll make it a family affair and take both Volvo's. I think it's about time to start a f/s thread to see what's worth hauling down to Portland.

Nice early Corvair. I've always had a weak spot for later cars, though this one might be a little over the top.

Last year the local (South Puget Sound) people met up with northbound Kalvin and friends at the I-5 rest stop just north of Tacoma. No reason not to do it again this year.

That I-5 rest stop worked out well for us last year, let's do it again.

Taking both of our cars, hopefully. With any luck, I'll have yet another 850 before then.

I should be moving into my new house around that time, Greg. Come on over and earn some pizza/beer/whatever!

If you bike/walk on the ferry like I think Adam (adamjjohn203) does it won't be as miserable on a Friday as trying to drive a car on. Seattle's nice to visit, but I like how much calmer it is on my side of the water. Bainbridge seems quiet as well, but I've only spent a little time on the island, goofing around.

I wasn't using it. Yet......

I guess while we're on the subject, how about the first Countach parked next to the last one.

Huh? M59 is still a FWD trans, just has a limited-slip VC splined to it. Maybe the AWD 5-spd M58?
