Guys!
I'm back. And in a wagon, an H6 wagon, of all things.

I'm so stoked to have something that I can haul stuff in and bomb around in. I haven't had a Subaru wagon in nearly 6 years - my 2nd son wasn't born yet when the old 98 GT got rear ended (me in it) and written off. It still lives on in a few cars around North America (I hope!) but it was high time to get some AWD love back in my life.

So here it is, a one owner, no crash, 04 H6 LL Bean wagon with 197,000 miles on it.



(this pic was after the rust repair on the rear quarter)

Plans? I guess the basics, get the exterior and suspension to where I'm happy - this beast has a 7.9" stock ground clearance - the LL Bean is higher by a smidge than the comparable standard Outback. Probably the LL Bean springs. www.cars101.com

Engine-wise, there's not too much you can do - from what I read the intake is already pretty good, and the car responds well to 91 gas and just a good air filter. There's not much bolt-on wise, except for a light weight crank pulley (and the usual intake type mods that I probably won't do lol).
