I'll keep the intro brief, here is my car.

Spartan was the 2nd owner, and I am now the 5th. Currently it has 115k on the clock, but definitely doesn't show it. All I've been doing with it right now has been getting the paint to as close to perfect as I can reasonably manage. In the coming weeks I'll need to take care of the condensation problem with the passenger side headlight and get around to fixing the leaky sandwich plate for the oil pressure gauge.
EDIT: 179k miles as of 10/28/2020

=======================================
Today I played with wheels.
Oh the benefits of a wagon. Fits eight wheels, a full size jack, and a toolbox with room to spare!

Fitted up some wheels to decide which ones I'd like to keep and which to sell. To begin with we have the current winter wheel, some 17" ASA wheel that I actually quite like.

Next some 17" gold RPF1s off my WRX. I really liked these too.

Then the 18" gunmetal Buddyclub P1s that came with the Legacy. I liked these the most.

It was a tough call, but I think I'm gonna sell the Enkei's. I already have 5 people lined up to buy them.

Good lord. I read for the first 15 pages and thought maybe if I just skipped to the end I can read about the solution sooner... nope! People have been having this noise happen for years and nobody has managed to isolate the issue? That's absolutely wild!
